Preparing for top surgery involves several key steps for a smooth experience and good recovery. Start by talking to your surgeon to understand the requirements and advice specific to you.

Learn about the surgery and recovery; knowing what to expect can reduce anxiety and help you feel more in control.

Not only does massage seem to reduce pain in the moment, but regular massage therapy also appears to increase the amount of time between headaches for those who experience them on a chronic basis

What I offer this world is not for the masses, it's to hold a container for a person to meet themself, to take a break for the world that continually demands more and more.
