Life’s a bit topsy turvy at the moment!! Folks keep asking me “where are you now” or “I’m having trouble booking an appointment- when will you be back”???
Truth is, I’m here. At home. The grandboyz, Jason & Bodie, and here with us on Jero Farm while the parentals drive cross country on their relocation journey.
Send them good wishes for a safe and pleasant journey 💖🙏💖
So- bear with me! It’s an exciting time for all!
(I do have appointment availability, albeit limited- so use the booking site to get scheduled now! https://pocketsuite.io/link/bodywork_with_lise)

Thai Bodywork
I’ve not talked about this in quite some time- I’ve been bizzy! But the question pops up from time to time- so here’s a little bit about it. Only available to book by special request- as my regular schedule is quite full.
Experience deep, personalized healing with a 90-minute Thai Bodywork session with Lise Waugh. This unique, floor-based practice blends rhythmic massage, joint-freeing movement, gentle stretching, acupressure on key individualized points, abdominal (visceral) therapy, and profound relaxation—all guided by your body’s elemental needs.
While sessions take place on a comfortable mat, allowing for natural grounding and fluid movement- they can be adapted to a table, and frequently are.
Clients remain fully clothed, so simply wear something comfortable and easy to move in, and settle into a restorative journey that reconnects body, breath, and balance.

Your MRI doesn’t tell your story it only whispers a few lines.
Imaging shows structure, not strength.
It can’t measure resilience, adaptation, or how your body feels and functions.
Far too many surgeries are done because of what’s seen on a screen
tiny “abnormalities” that are often just normal signs of living.
Age-appropriate changes, not emergencies.
Before you rush to fix what may not be broken,
start with movement, education, and a real conversation.
You are not your MRI.
You are more than an image
you are function, healing, and potential in motion
