Reconnecting DSM
Exploring the journey of reconnecting with the body, through massage and other avenues of wellness in Des Moines and beyond
The Origin of Reconnect DSM Massage Therapy
At a chair massage event, the leader of a group I was about to massage told me I had less than 30 seconds to introduce myself and tell everyone why I do what I do as a licensed massage therapist.
Thinking quickly, the word that came to my mind was reconnect. This became the birth of my new business name: Reconnect DSM Massage Therapy.
My primary motivation for offering massage to my clients is simply to help them reconnect with their bodies. This process can be easier said than done and I believe it warrants a conversation that extends beyond the massage table.
As a licensed massage therapist, I earn the opportunity to connect with people, their bodies, and their stillness in my massage space. This newsletter space aims to carry that same energy toward exploring questions like these:
What does it mean to reconnect with the body?
Why is it important?
How can we practice it?
Through stories, reflections, and local connections, Reconnect DSM offers a worthwhile conversation for anyone who inhabits a body and is interested in reconnecting with it.
If your body also happens to live in Des Moines, then you will periodically get the chance to get to know some lovely locals who are here to support you on your wellness and mind-body-connection journey. (If you don’t live in Des Moines, reading this might make you wish you did!)
My goal is to post at least once a month and no more than once a week. For anyone who has received a massage from me, you know my time management skills are not as strong as my massage skills, and always for your benefit! Similarly, I hope your visit to this newsletter, no matter my frequency of posting, leaves you feeling better than before you read it.
