I got the day I hoped for. And worked for, honestly. I did every single fucking rep of this prep (mostly as a mental exercise; got lucky with 12+ weeks of no illness or injury making that mental exercise possible) and went all in. Whole ass. All my eggs in this basket.

I’ve never done that before with anything; I usually pride myself on maintaining my generalist status.

..but, turns out magic can happen when you give it everything.

9/9 day, 27 white lights, 477.5kg/1,050lb total and ~440 DOTs. Magic, indeed.

What I failed to appreciate when I first started lifting was how much powerlifting is a team and community sport. I am so grateful to be surrounded by the people who inspire and challenge me, support and hold me accountable, and selflessly help with no questions asked. There’s no sweeter reminder of how all flourishing is mutual.

Extra shout out to anyone who does this sport while having a real job or with a family/kids. I was only able to put in the work that I was able to because of my extreme schedule flexibility, access to equipment in my own space and a partner who is happy to have both of our lives revolve around my lifting and recovery schedule.

What a dream.

Hey @mattdomney_pt wanna go to nationals?

I am a bodyworker deep in my bones.

It was my first professional endeavor; I scraped through the end of high school, took an aimless gap year where I learned how much I loved smoking weed and how much I hated working in restaurants and somehow managed to piece together enough sense to land myself in massage school.

13 years, thousands of hours of education, hundreds of clients and a handful of locations later I am still doing one of the things I do best.

My sessions are deep, lasting and significant. They draw heavily on my education in structural integration while weaving in other threads I’ve picked up along the way like CranioSacral therapy, trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, Thai massage and myofascial release.

I love what I do and I love sharing it with my community. I would love to share it with you.

Booking available online. You know where to find the links ✨

Long, rambling story short— Pull For Pride was INCREDIBLE!
Thank you to all of the lifters for showing up, ballin’ out and pulling some big fucking deadlifts!

Latest submission to the 1,000lb club this week— and this time for reps 🙂‍↔️
Squat 3x395lbs
Bench 5x200lbs
Dead 3x405lbs

This time last year I was hitting these numbers for singles for the first time (except for bench 😅 she’s doing her best, okay?). The unsexy truth of getting stronger that I am continually reminded of is simply time passing and stringing together good weeks and blocks of training. I am lucky to genuinely love this process.

I was supposed to be heading to Chicago next month to compete at Raw Nationals but life had other plans so I’ll be heading to St. Louis in August instead. A few more months of training (especially deadlift since I had a stance change 8 weeks ago 😂) should set me up for an even bigger, fatter total. And I get to compete with @mattdomney_pt 🥳

Feeling v grateful to have found this silly little sport and the friends I’ve gained because of it 🫶 by @mackypageee

Eight years ago I rolled the dice on myself and left a perfectly good, steady job to hang out a shingle of my own. I was plan-less (literally— it started in my family’s living room for a couple months til I drummed up the cash to rent a closet of a space in the St. John St building) but what I lacked in executive functioning I made up for in heart.

It started as massage and yoga, which turned into structural integration (more interesting) and circus (more fun), which showed me that I needed to get stronger to be able to do the things I wanted to do, so I started lifting weights.

Turns out the side quest was really where it’s at for me.

I think what this really shows is the vibrancy and depth of the community around me. More than half of my clientele has been with me since I was a vernal 20 year old with a fresh massage license— 14 years ago, y’all 😘 Their support has allowed me to grow, meander and explore what it feels like to create a life that’s engaging, keeps me curious and is heart lead the entire way. I love each and every one of you.

I am beyond grateful that this is my reality and feel incredibly aware that socioeconomic status is one of the biggest determinants of health. We are watching access to care and basic human rights being stripped away from our friends, families and neighbors by the fascist regime taking hold of our country. Take care of yourselves as best as you can and take care of the people around you— we need each other and all flourishing is mutual.

2025 was a hard year for me, filled with grief I didn’t know I was capable of surviving. It also showed me the depths of my strength, the steadiness of my relationships and the inevitability of change. The canyons it carved in me are filling up with love— a lot of it borrowed from friends and family.

2026 is already shaping up to be a brighter time, highlighted by the fact that it’s the year that I will move my sweet little business into its forever home in the woods of Gray with my love, Robin. My only other plans are to get weirder, hotter, stronger and kinder.

Happy New Year to you and happy anniversary to me ♥️
