Another year has passed and a fresh start is once again upon us. So many things have changed since our last newsletter. I’m now a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina and have officially joined the vibrant small business community in Plaza Midwood.

📍1208 The Plaza

Charlotte, NC 28205

Nested in the heart of the neighborhood, the new studio is across the street from the adorable coffee shop, Giddy Goat Roasters, near Central Avenue and The Plaza.

In some instances, the magnitude of certain issues can render us indecisive, fearing the repercussions of making a wrong choice. Research has consistently demonstrated that when our decisions remain open to reversal, our satisfaction with the outcome diminishes by more than 60%. Therefore, it is imperative that we hone our research skills to facilitate well-informed choices. In the upcoming year, let us resolve to exercise greater decisiveness in our pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.

Healthy Habits | Happy Life



Using an ice pack on a regular basis does magic for our bodies. I recommend starting the habit of using this ice pack at night before bed. Especially if you're dealing with chronic neck and shoulder pain.

Embracing Southern Hospitality

Following my involvement with AMTA Florida, I wasted no time in cultivating fresh connections within the massage therapy community here in North Carolina. During the holiday season, I ventured to Greensboro, where I had the pleasure of partaking in a delightful potluck gathering while engaging with a multitude of exceptional massage therapists. This event proved to be a great experience, and I am genuinely appreciative of the opportunity to become part of such a vibrant and welcoming group.

Massage Therapy & Martial Arts

People never cease to amaze me. During the event, I had the privilege of meeting Daniel Hyde, a notable expert in Thai Massage and a dedicated martial artist. Visiting his gym to learn about the world of martial arts proved to be an extraordinary experience. It has become evident to me how Thai Massage serves as an exceptional modality for martial artists and athletes engaged in high-impact sports.

As we embark on this new year, remember that it's not just a fresh start, it's an opportunity to create a healthier, happier you. Your goals are the compass guiding you toward a brighter, more vibrant future. Embrace the journey, stay committed, and believe in yourself. Every step you take towards a healthier life is a step closer to the best version of yourself. You have the power to make this year your most transformative one yet.
