🥈 SHE BROUGHT HOME THE SILVER! 🇺🇸🇰🇷
::

For a little over a year, I’ve had the privilege of working with Nateé as she prepared to compete on the world stage—helping her recover from training, supporting her tissues, reducing injury risk, and keeping those powerful muscles tuned for the task at hand.

Before she left, I put a little pressure on her: “Don’t come back to my table with anything less than bronze!” 😂

Well…she came back with SILVER from the World Masters Athletics competition in Daegu, South Korea! 🥈

Nateé, you made all of us at The Kneading Well incredibly proud—but little do you know, we were already proud of you long before that medal was placed around your neck.

The medal is silver, but this moment is pure gold. Congratulations, CHAMP! 💜💪🏾

Chair or seated massage became popular in the 1980s as a way to make massage therapy more accessible and convenient for people to experience. It can be incorporated into many settings like an office or event. It allows the participant to remain fully clothed while the therapist can focus on areas such as the neck, shoulders, back arms and hands.

The Kneading Well is committed to bringing you wellness through massage therapy in our office or yours. Contact us if you “knead” us for workplace wellness or at your next event.

🦄 THE VISION. THE NAME. THE BUSINESS.
AND NOW…THE ®. 🙌🏽✨
::

The Kneading Well® is officially a registered trademark!

Another milestone on my entrepreneurial roadmap, and this one means so much. Intellectual property is a BIG deal. I’ve poured my heart, hands, faith, and hard work into building this business—and protecting its name is personal. I own this. The name and all! 💁🏽‍♀️

But getting here? I talked myself out of taking this step more times than I can count.

But God… 🙏🏽

Each year, He put people in my ear encouraging me to move forward. He nudged me to research, ask questions, and take this vision seriously. Then He placed @guardyourgenius in my path.

Neidy and her team were incredible to work with and made a process I had built up in my head feel easy. I went in expecting 12–18 months.

But God again… SIX MONTHS! 🎉

Today, I’m celebrating the registration, the obedience, and finally taking a step I had postponed for too long.

There’s more on the roadmap, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead for The Kneading Well®. This name carries purpose—and I’m grateful I get to keep building it. 💜💚

PART 1 : WHAT IF THE INFLAMMATION YOU ARE FIGHTING IS ACTUALLY HELPING YOU HEAL?
::

Before we rush to quiet inflammation, let’s understand what it’s trying to say. 👀

After an injury, your body gets to work—calling in immune cells, clearing out damaged cells , and sending signals that help repair begin. Early inflammation has a job to do.

That’s the reasoning behind A: Avoid Anti-Inflammatories in the PEACE & LOVE framework: consider the healing process before automatically reaching to suppress it.

During my recovery, I’ve been learning to ask more than “How can I make this hurt less?” I’m also asking, “How can I support the repair happening underneath?”

Pain relief matters. So does an informed treatment plan. Talk with your clinician about what fits your injury and health needs. 💜

Save this for a reminder that healing begins long before we feel better.

Behind every glow is a pair of skilled, caring hands. ✨💜💚

This National Esthetician’s Day (10/15), we’re celebrating our professional, Michala @desirekaywellness, at The Kneading Well® who shows up for your skin like it’s her own. She reads your skin, listens to what it needs, and tailors every exfoliant, mask and serum just for you.

As the leaves change, your skin changes too. Cooler air, indoor heat and less humidity can leave it dull, dry and stressed. Fall is the perfect season to reset. 🍂
So go ahead: lie back, breathe deep, and let us take it from here.

🍁 Fall into Self-Care: $20 off select facials through October 31st
📅 Spots go fast. Tap the link in bio or call to book.

Tag someone who deserves a little pampering this season! 👇🏽

☮️ ELEVATE THE INJURY ABOVE YOUR HEART…❤️
::

Simple advice—until the injury is your neck, shoulder or spine. 😩

My injuries couldn’t be elevated in the traditional sense, so I had to understand the purpose behind the recommendation and adapt it. For me, elevation became support, positioning, unloading and frequent repositioning.

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Swipe to learn how you can support and position injuries to promote comfort and recovery.
Next up: “A” is for Avoid Anti-Inflammatories—but why?

☮️ PROTECT YOUR MIND🧠
::

We talk a lot about protecting an injured body. But what about protecting the mind that’s going through the motions of it?

Healing comes with uncertainty, and uncertainty has a way of writing stories about a future that hasn’t happened yet.

Protecting your mind isn’t all Kumbaya.

But it also isn’t pretending you AREN’T scared, frustrated, angry or tired.

It’s making space for those feelings without allowing them to take over the entire healing process.

Sometimes two things are true at once.

You can be healing AND hurting.
Making progress AND having a hard day.
Grateful AND frustrated.

Protecting your peace means allowing all of it to exist while staying grounded in what you can control today.

Your body deserves time to heal.

Your mind deserves somewhere safe to wait. ❤️

☮️ P = PROTECT

☮️ P…IS FOR PROTECT, AND POLICY REVIEW ✌🏽
::

One minute I was taking care of others’ chronic pain and injuries. The next, I was the injured patient with acute pain, a healthcare detective and a student at the University of Know Your Coverage.

In the early stage of a soft-tissue injury, “Protect” means temporarily modifying movements, work and activities that increase pain or aggravate the injured area. It doesn’t automatically mean complete rest or becoming afraid to move. The goal is to reduce unnecessary stress on healing tissue while maintaining safe, gentle, tolerable movement and gradually returning to function.

For me, that meant stopping work, returning with a reduced schedule, avoiding aggravating movements, making time for treatment and—the hardest part—allowing other people to help me, even my clients.

But this experience also reminded me that protecting the body is both physical and practical. It means actively participating in your recovery while understanding the safeguards you already have, the gaps you may have missed and the people who could be affected.

This isn’t an insurance sales pitch. It’s a “please check before life checks you” reminder.

Healing is already a full-time job. In the middle of an unexpected incidence is a terrible time to discover what your policy does—or doesn’t—cover.

When was the last time you actually reviewed yours?

Next up: Protect Your Mind—because an injured body can send your thoughts running laps. 🧠💨

🤲🏽 THE HEALER NEEDS HEALING ❤️‍🩹
::

Being on the other side of the treatment table has given me a new perspective on something I’ve spent years helping others navigate: injury, healing and recovery.

But there’s another side of injury we don’t talk about enough.

When you’re a full-time small-business owner who uses your body to make a living, getting hurt doesn’t just affect your body. It affects your work, your clients, your schedule and your income.

So I’m turning my experience into an opportunity to share and educate.

Over the next several weeks, I’ll share pieces of my recovery while exploring the science of soft-tissue injury through PEACE (N) LOVE ☮️🥗❤️. The original PEACE & LOVE framework, introduced by Blaise Dubois and Jean-François Esculier, expanded the conversation beyond traditional R.I.C.E. to consider both early injury management and the journey back to movement and function.

I’m adding the (N) for NUTRITION because I don’t believe we can have a complete conversation about healing without talking about what we’re giving the body to rebuild. Healing requires raw materials, and many of those building blocks come from what we eat. So, alongside PEACE & LOVE, we’ll also explore how nutrition can support tissue repair and recovery.

We’ll explore what the research says, what I’m experiencing firsthand, practical ways to support your recovery, and even some lessons about protecting your livelihood when illness or injury temporarily takes your ability to work off the table.

An injury happens to tissue.
Recovery happens to a person.

And sometimes that person has a business to run, bills to pay, people depending on them…and a body saying, “Not today.” ❤️‍🩹

This time, I get to experience recovery from every side:

🔬 the biologist
👩🏾‍⚕️ the nurse
🤲🏾 the massage therapist
📚 the business owner
❤️‍🩹 and the patient.

Welcome to my PEACE (N) LOVE journey.

First up: P is for PROTECT. ☮️

➡️ PEACE & LOVE framework: Blaise Dubois & Jean-François Esculier, British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020.

FREE BEFORE 40 SPOTLIGHT: DANIELLE GUILLORY

One of the things I have learned on my own freedom journey is that you can understand something in your mind - and still be carrying it in your body.

That is one of the MANY reasons I am so grateful that Danielle Guillory is returning to Free Before 40 for her FOURTH YEAR.

Danielle is a trauma-informed speaker, speaker coach, wellness coach, somatic practitioner and doula. Those are just some of her roles, but let me tell you more about her gifts.

She has this beautiful ability to help us slow down enough to notice what our bodies are saying while our hearts and minds are doing all this healing, dreaming, processing, and becoming.

She reminds us that freedom isn't just intellectual.

Freedom has movement, breath, rhythm.
AND freedom lives in the BODY!

And Danielle KNOWS the movement of freedom.

Year after year, I have watched her help the women of Free Before 40 connect what we are learning in our minds with what we are experiencing in our hearts and carrying in our bodies.

She helps make the room feel safe.

She helps us come back to ourselves.

She helps us breathe.

She helps us move.

And she helps us remember that sometimes freedom doesn't look like doing MORE. Sometimes freedom looks like finally feeling safe enough to release.

I am so grateful that God has allowed our gifts and our work to intersect in this way. Because when I think about what I want Free Before 40 to be, I don't just want women to leave with great notes.

I want you to have an experience.

I want something to shift.

I want you to recognize what you've been carrying.

I want you to dream again.

I want you to tell yourself the truth.

I want you to MOVE.

And I want your mind, heart AND body to know:

Sis…you are FREE!

Danielle, thank you for bringing your wisdom, your gentleness, your MAGIC, and your grounding presence into this space for four years. Free Before 40 is better because you are in the room.

Ladies who will be in the space, bring your journal, your dreams, your whole self. And wear something you can MOVE in.

Connection isn’t always hands-on… sometimes it’s heart-on. 💜

We’ve added affirmation cards to our treatment rooms as a gentle invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself.

Because healing doesn’t just happen through bodywork… it happens in the quiet moments too.

And truthfully… our therapists might be sneaking a few of these moments throughout the day as well ✨
