Taming the Hulk
This is from an old post from an old website I had when I first started doing massage. Now I have a new site and new name, but the message remains: Stress sucks. One day of stress is exhausting, so imagine what weeks or months of stress can do to you. While I'm clearly biased on the approach to managing stress (come get a massage!), I do feel it's important to manage it however you can.
No-shows are an expense to individual service providers and small businesses.
I’d like to provide a little perspective regarding no-shows, and the impact on appointment based small businesses. I have been a service provider working for other businesses, and I’m now an owner of a business that provides jobs to other service providers. I’ve experienced no-shows from both sides of that coin.

My Experience: Driftaway Float Center
After my chronic pain journey, I realized that the key to my pain management was to reduce the impact to my central nervous system. I was already interested in trying a float, but I wasn’t sure if I would benefit. Just for convenience of location, and some online reviews, I decided to try Driftaway Float Center.
My Experience at Mayo Clinic's PRC Program
I recently went through a three-week program at Mayo’s Pain Rehabilitation Clinic. Years ago, I began experiencing low back and hip pain with no indication of where it came from. It grew from an annoyance to often debilitating, so I jumped on the pain treatment merry-go-round. Check out my experience.
Stress Less, Love More During the Holidays
The holidays are a relaxing winter wonderland vacation filled with family, friends, and food, where everyone laughs, cardinals sing, and woodland animals dress your tree...
Yeah, it's usually not that romantic, is it?
Coping
So far, 2021 hasn’t proven any better than 2020 for me. I mean…just look at my last three months! I’m burned out. It’s time to reflect, get small, hibernate a little, and try to kick this damned cold. Here’s what I’m doing…
What a year.
Life is surprising, strange, uncertain, brilliant, chaotic, and heavy. But not usually all at the same time. I have been struggling to write this post since November, and life just keeps getting in the way.
Exciting things to come...
