Align Therapeutic Bodywork

Something new just landed in the office that we’re more than a little obsessed with: the Vital Body CBD Mineral Bath Soak.

Broad-spectrum h**p extract, pure Epsom + mineral salts, and a softly floral blend of lavender, bergamot, and ho wood essential oils. 🌿

And honestly… this one feels different.

Regular Epsom salts are wonderful on their own — magnesium-rich, muscle-soothing, the classic bath-night ritual.

But when you add broad-spectrum CBD to the mix, the whole soak levels up. The CBD works alongside the magnesium to directly target pain, calm a wound-up nervous system, and turn fifteen minutes in the tub into the closest thing to a real reset most of us get all week.

½ cup into a warm bath.
Soak for at least 15 minutes.
Emerge unbothered. ✨

Simple. Thoughtful. Meaningful.

And something she’ll truly feel.

Meet the hands behind the work. 🙏💛

Finding a bodyworker you trust is rare. Finding an entire team of them under one roof — each with their own gift, their own technique, their own way of meeting your body exactly where it is — is something I’m deeply proud to offer this community.

If you’re the kind of person who takes your wellness seriously — who knows your body isn’t a problem to be fixed but a whole story to be listened to — this team was built for you. Whatever you’re carrying (tension that’s taken up residence in your shoulders, recovery from injury, stress you can’t seem to put down, or simply the belief that regular bodywork is part of a life well-lived), there’s a practitioner here whose hands are meant for it. Each of them brings something different — different training, different specialties, different intuition — and every one of them earned their place because I’d eagerly trust them with my own body. When we match you with someone, we’re not filling an appointment slot. We’re placing your body with the right pair of hands.

Swipe through to meet each of them — including the newest face joining us, Austin. ✨ If you’ve worked with one of them before and know the magic firsthand, give them a shoutout in the comments. It truly makes our whole day. And if you’re ready to experience this for yourself, your next session is one click away through the link in our bio.

“I’m 88, but I feel no older than 50. I’m still very fit and healthy, so sometimes I even forget my age. At the same time, I do see people around me declining and passing away. My wife died shortly after I retired, and since then I’ve lost quite a few family members as well. As sad as that is, it’s something you have to learn to live with. It’s simply part of getting older.

I consider myself lucky that I can still do so much and feel this good. I couldn’t tell you the secret to healthy aging, but I do go for a walk every day. Sometimes just around the neighborhood, and sometimes all the way to the Albert Cuyp market, where I treat myself to a nice croquette. Oh, and I don’t smoke. My mother was a real woman from Groningen—strict, and smoking was absolutely forbidden. Believe me, you couldn’t fool her.

I also spent my whole life working in construction. After my wife passed away, my daughter had just given birth to twins. She was also going through a divorce at the time and had a demanding job at a bank that required a lot of travel. So I offered to look after my grandchildren. I did that for years, and I loved every minute of it.

These days, you’ll often find me at the neighborhood repair café. I help local residents and fix vacuum cleaners and other electronics. I also regularly visit people at home to help them with chores around the house.

There are quite a few single women living here who need help with practical things, like putting up curtains or changing light bulbs. People often recognize me on the street and then they smile and say: ‘Hey, Mister Jan!’ It doesn’t take much to be a good neighbor and to make other people happy. I really love doing it.”

Nothing means more to us than hearing how our work is helping. People feel better in their bodies. 💛

Thank you for trusting Align with your care. 🙏🏻

Happy International Women’s Day! 🔮❤️‍🔥🌙🐚🌞✨💃

Being a woman is a calling to spirituality.

A calling to creation, and community.

As massage therapists, what a gift it is to witness you and all the glory that you are.

To witness everything that you hold.

To also create time and space, for you to gently witness yourself.

I love that we have created a safe space where nothing is off limits- your joy, your celebrations, your grief and frustrations. It all deserves to be honored and acknowledged, and we will do so with you 🙏🏻

Thank you to all the women who make this world a little more witchy, a little more nurturing, and a little bit softer and slower

If you’re struggling with sleep…
feeling constantly stressed…
or noticing your tolerance for stress getting lower and lower…

your breath might be part of the story.

Stress, injury, and long-standing compensation patterns can quietly change how your body breathes.

A tight diaphragm.
A restricted rib cage.
Neck and throat muscles working overtime.

And suddenly your body is taking in less oxygen…
releasing less carbon dioxide…
and working harder just to maintain balance.

In other words — your body is under constant stress because you’re simply not breathing efficiently.

So you feel wired.
Tense.
Exhausted.
Unable to fully relax.

Not because you’re doing life wrong.
Because your body’s function is restricted.

This is where therapeutic bodywork can make a profound difference.

When we restore movement to the diaphragm, rib cage, and surrounding breathing structures, the body no longer has to fight for every breath.

The nervous system begins to downshift.
Muscles stop guarding.
Stress patterns soften.

Breathing improves — and your body finally gets the signal that it’s safe to relax.

✨ Better breath → better regulation → better quality of life.

Whole health isn’t about chasing symptoms.

It’s about understanding how your body works — and supporting it so everything functions the way it was designed to, without constant effort or strain.
