It’s been a season, no?

On NOVEMBER 1,
Bespoke Bodywork will transition to a private, mid-town studio. Stepping into serendipitous opportunity, completing three years in this sober healing journey and opening my heart to all that can be.

Feeling energized and hopeful for what this shift will nurture. Expansiveness will lend to amenities forthcoming, water elements, outdoor sessions and a labyrinth. It will offer peace and privacy to nurture a safe space for trauma informed work and evolved deep dives. We can reach our arms up to the sun, breathe in the eucalyptus and wiggle our toes in the grass.

For now—all October sessions will be at Urban Wellness, soaking in the sweet, tender, autumn sunsets of room 111. I will hold it all deeply, welcoming a gentle transition. So grateful to the community at Urban & knowing I’ll see you still.

So much love + gratitude,
Kristin

Buccal massage is a technique performed inside the mouth. By massaging internally, we stimulate lymphatic drainage and engage with muscles and areas of muscles that we cannot externally. The massage is performed with gloved hands and begins with exterior facial massage, opening the lymph channels.

While this modality of treatment has gained attention in the recent years for cosmetic reasons, it is deeply therapeutic—to the muscles and attachments, lymph system. Especially beneficial for TMJ, grinders, clenchers and tongue ties. Cosmetically, there are implications for lifting, brightening, toning and reducing puffiness in the lower face.

Here’s a post almost no one will see or read. Facebook is tough. As a small business starting anew, you are almost relentlessly hassled with promises that if you boost posts and pay money to get your page promoted you will, in turn, get followers. I did it a couple times when I started this page, at the end of last year. It got me a handful of follows. In New Jersey. And England. Not a lot here in Phoenix. In a smaller community where I knew many people, Facebook worked and did make sense but even so, a previous iteration of my business had 7000 follows with over half of them in the United Arab Emirates. It made no sense.

I stopped actively participating with this platform months ago—generally its unattended and not reaching many. Still photos will auto share from Instragram, but I check in here roughly weekly, and each time, I haven’t missed a thing. I have the same few interactions on everything from the same few people in Plattsburgh, NY. (Thanks cheerleaders). Not only that but the platform and apps you are hedged into using (Facebook manager, pages) make it almost impossible for me to find and interact with other small businesses and groups here in my area.

I’ve learned over the last months that Facebook maybe a bit more antiquated in this area, for the demographic I’m trying to reach. Many have moved on to IG and TikTok, long ago. It was described as being “for old people” to me once, lol. I am officially old people.

Since I’m not reaching anyone and Instagram, my website, Google and word of mouth is working out for me, I’m going to go ahead and delete this page in a week. It’ll keep me off Facebook in my personal life too, which is great.

In the chance you see this and wish to keep connecting with my small business, you can find me on Instagram.

Procrastination nation?

It’s okay to forward this to your loved on for a nudge.

Our Wellness Center is located street & McDowell. Flexy scheduling.

Here’s my summertime reminder!
It’s really an all the time reminder.

I don’t care about—

Shaved legs, rough soles, chipped polish, dirty feet, ever!
Please, do NOT cause yourself any amount of stress or explanation. Come as you are. And if your feet are extra sandal sandy, I got you.

Body positivity allllll day.

In dramatic dream, a mouse ear cacti toppled, spreading its microscopic daggers & I can still phantom feel.

It’s true, what they say about birding. One day, without warning or runway, you’re like “hey what kind kind of bird is that?” And a book materializes. And an app. And another.

The toil of dusty floors, in excess, thanks to 65 pound, living & breathing dust bunny, will never be my victory. Dustceptance.

Shower me—singing and sometimes sitting, sitting and sometimes singing = sublime starts. Rinsing and wringing = releasing the day & roomy rest.
