Need a different date or want me to bring Releasing for Self-Care to your location? Let me know!

Massage therapists are trained to help others release—but how often do we give ourselves permission to release?

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be teaching Releasing for Self-Care at the CE Summit in Charlotte, NC on October 19! 💜

This is more than just another continuing education class.

It’s an opportunity to pause, turn inward, and explore what you may be carrying—and discover practical ways to release it.

As massage therapists, we spend our days helping others release tension, stress and pain. We listen. We care. We hold space.

But sometimes, we need to be held, too.

In this 4-CE course, we’ll explore self-care from a deeper perspective and look at ways to support our physical, mental and emotional well-being through intentional release.

Because self-care isn’t only about what you do for yourself.

Sometimes, it’s about what you need to let go of.

If you’re a massage therapist who spends so much time caring for others that you sometimes forget about yourself, this class is for you.

Come learn.
Come experience.
Come release. 💜

The journey of release often leads us to a deeper place—the place where healing begins.

After creating Amorah: The Path to Whole Life Prosperity, I continued exploring the stories of individuals who were ready to face their past, embrace healing, and step into a new chapter.

That journey became my feature documentary, Amuart.

The name Amuart comes from the word trauma spelled backwards—a reminder that while trauma can shape parts of our story, it does not have to define our future. It represents the possibility of reversing the impact of trauma through healing, growth, and transformation.

Amuart takes us on a journey from abandonment and abuse to support, from the scars of bullying and low self-esteem to acceptance, safety, and renewed inner strength.

This documentary is for anyone who has felt stuck in old patterns, carried pain from the past, or wondered if they could truly move forward.

Because your story is not over.

Trauma may be part of your story, but you are still the author.

Through creating safe spaces, facing our truths with compassion, and nurturing self-love, we can begin the journey of healing.

After creating Feature film, Release, I wanted people to leave with more than just a message. I wanted them to have a tool.

That’s what inspired “27 Ways to Release”.

It’s more than a book. It’s also a journal designed to help you put the message of Release into practice.

Inside, you’ll find 27 ways to release what no longer serves you. Each way includes space to reflect and journal, along with additional pages to continue your personal journey.

Healing doesn’t happen in a single moment. It happens one choice, one step, and one release at a time.

What’s one healthy way you release stress or recharge?

My experiences over the years, giving and receiving massages, brought me to the point of writing this book, “It Goes Deeper Than the Muscle.” I often discuss how my clients may anticipate a release and sometimes delayed affect in my pre-massage consultations, both physically and emotionally. Sometimes things are going on in our physical bodies that doctors cannot pick up, but we still have symptoms. It also happens sometimes when you get a massage. It feels suitable for a little while, only for the tension to come back. When this happens, it’s more than likely related to something that goes deeper than the muscle, although it may be stored in the muscles. After all, if you hold on to things you need to let go of, it has to go somewhere. It’s like the way Covid-19 affects people with underlying issues. We all have underlying issues that we can nurse. We have so many things that we deal with, known and unknown, which affect us in so many ways. This book aims to help you get to the root of the problem and experience freedom. I challenge you to make self-care a lifestyle while attaining self-discovery.

Taking appointments at our new location. After over 13 years of helping clients in Wilson feel better in their bodies, were excited to offer that same care and experience here in down Wilmington at The Cotton Exchange. If you’ve been needing a moment to breathe and unwind…Book your massage today!
