BAYLOR UNIVERSITY PUBLISHES LARGEST STUDY EVER ON MASSAGE THERAPY USE

July 2024

"Many people receive massage therapy and for many reasons. But according to a new study – the largest and most comprehensive ever conducted on the subject – the prevalence of visits to massage therapists is higher than one might have imagined and the reasons may be surprising."

“What our study shows is that it’s probably not helpful any longer to label massage as an ‘alternative’ therapy, with all of the marginality that the term conveys.”

“Licensed massage therapists ought to be respected as mainstream practitioners, whose profession provides a therapeutic approach not just to address pain and functional challenges but to foster wellness and overall well-being, physical and emotional.

Everyone can benefit from working with a skilled massage therapist. They’re the hidden gems in the healthcare system.” - Jeff Levin, Ph.D., M.P.H., University Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health. (Robert Rogers/Baylor University)

Congrats Andrea!
I’ll be in touch 💜

Thank you to all who participated 🙌🏼

Thank you all so much for the generous contributions for Sam and his family! 💙

Today I will go over everyone who said they sent money and verify that I received it. For the most part, I’m pretty sure almost all people sent to the correct account. But I want to make double sure. I did heart some comments already, and I will go back and add a “got it” as well.

Keep the prayers and positive energy flowing! 💜

As many of you have heard, Taylor Pech Aucoin and Derrick Aucoin are walking through every parent’s worst nightmare with their precious baby boy, Samuel.

Samuel has been diagnosed with bacterial meningitis caused by a rare bacteria called Paenibacillus. Their journey ahead is long, exhausting, and unimaginable, but Samuel is strong, he is fighting, and his family is holding on to faith, hope, and every good sign along the way.

To help support the Aucoin family, I’m donating a 1-hour massage valued at $100.

Chances are $10 each, and you may enter as many times as you’d like.

To enter:
💙 Comment below once you’ve sent your donation
💙 Venmo me at
💙 Please be sure to write “Sam” in the Venmo notes/description

A winner will be drawn Sunday, May 31.

If you’re unable to donate or enter, please keep Samuel, Taylor, Derrick, and their family in your prayers and positive thoughts.

Every SHARE, prayer, donation, and bit of support matters. 💙

Tonight we’re on the doorstep of the Lunar New Year, and as we move into the Year of the (Fire) Horse (also the Chinese New Year), the energy shifts toward momentum, courage, and forward motion. 

Year of the Horse: think get moving, choose a direction, take the next right step even if it’s small. 

✨ A simple intention for this year:
“I take steady action. I trust my body. I follow what feels aligned.”

If you’re feeling called to “reset,” keep it gentle and doable: drink more water, take a post-meal walk, clear one clutter spot, or commit to a consistent bedtime for a week. Small steps count and they add up fast when the Horse energy kicks in.

🐎 🔥 💜 Open your windows and let out the old stagnant energy, and receive the new freshness!

🤯 Today I’m celebrating my 62nd birthday… and I’m still trying to wrap my head around that number! 😅 But here we are, and I’m truly grateful.

Those who know me well, know I’ve had my share of challenges, and I’m doing my best to show up, keep moving forward, and keep finding the good. Even though I’ve had to slow down a little with clients.

Today I decided to have a little fun with Chat and jump on the trendy train 😂 (because apparently that’s how you stay young and “current,” right?). Who knows… this might even become my new profile photo!

Today I’m off celebrating in Biloxi, the weather is absolute perfection☀️, and my husband always goes out of his way to make my day feel extra special. Feeling really lucky and very loved. 💛

Wishing you all a very blessed and joyful day! 🙌🏼💜
