Massage Tips

Massaging Yourself and Your Loved Ones

Why massage yourself and your loved ones? Because it feels great! Plus it's easy and free. Why not give yourself and your favorite people this gift? It's self-care, it's meditation, it's delightful. Not to mention, touch is crucial for our wellbeing, and many of us are touch-starved. (Especially in Covid times!)
