25.01.2022 Hello wonderful clients!! Oh how iv missed you all so!! I just wanted to say a big HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to you all!! Hope youre all keeping safe and sane during this crazy time! Just in case you were wondering, Iv now settled down nicely in Melbourne. ... Im busy teaching English online. But I miss massaging SO much! For now Im just massaging my house mates to keep up my strength (Theyre pretty happy about it) And otherwise, Im just enjoying this time in solitude coz I just figure, if i cant control anything else, at least I can control my attitude! And this is a great time to get in tune with my higher self. And to learn and grow as much as I possibly can Anyway, Hope you all have a BeYOUtiful day! And to all the moms out there- you guys are all real life superheros.

24.01.2022 Wishing all my wonderful clients a very special and meaningful new year. May it bring love, peace and happiness to all

24.01.2022 Hello lovely humans! Just thought Id share with you what Im currently doing to relieve the tension, specifically in my upper back (between my scapulas) So I got this rubber ball in Thailand 2 years ago. (For the equivalent of less than $1) And it honestly works wonders! You can use a tennis ball or any small, hard ball that wont damage the wall. ... You just place the ball behind your back up against a wall. Then you roll it between your back and the wall ->to wherever you feel tension. And then just leave it there and press up against it for about 30 seconds at a time. Making sure to breathe through the pain. Youll be able to feel what areas to keep it on for longer periods of time. And youll also know how much pressure to put on the ball. Its instinctive. Your body knows what it needs. Try doing this for at least 10 minutes at a time. And hopefully you will feel your tension easing up a bit!

24.01.2022 Im missing all my clients so much! Yes, this was inevitable since I was always going to come to Australia. But Im not operating at the moment so I have yet to start my business in Melbourne. ... But I just want to say that I am SO grateful to each one of you for your support over the last year. (I would not be ok right now if I didnt save up some of that money I made from this business.) And Im also so proud of you all, for handling yourselves with grace and being as positive as possible during this uncertain time. Its not easy! And Im sure a lot of you are also desperately wanting a massage right now (I know I am!) But there are some things we can do in the meantime to help ease our body tensions. Im going to post some self massaging techniques this month And let you guys know what I have been doing to help ease my own back pain when it arises Love you all! Take care out there, x

21.01.2022 I have a heart shaped white board up in my massage room. Once a week I write something different on it. Something to inspire. Something short and true. Something that I Hope makes my clients smile when they see it. ... We all know that life is full of ups and downs. And yet we still carry on. Trying our best to navigate ourselves in the world. I hope that this little form on encouragement helps each of my clients to know theyre not alone in the struggle that is life. You are loved You are light You are the whole universe wrapped up in one person. And you matter.

21.01.2022 Little fun fact about massage: Massage should be performed in movements going towards the heart, which helps your circulatory system return venous blood to your heart and lungs to be re-oxygenated. This also releases any strain on the heart. ... Basically, when you get a massage, your heart pumps the arterial (oxygenated) blood it receives through the arteries. Each pump pushes the blood into circulation. The veins then move the venous (deoxygenated) blood, via the muscle contraction and valves, back to the heart (which prevent the blood from moving in the wrong direction). If you were to massage away from the heart, you would be working against the bodys natural flow and could damage the valves. This does not contradict muscle release that also happens with cross friction and opposite strokes. When the client has lymphatic problems it is advised to work towards the next big lymph nodes. Same goes with digestion problems. We massage clockwise for constipation and anti- clockwise for diarrhea.

21.01.2022 I cannot stress enough how important it is to drink at least 8 cups of water a day (2L). It has SO many benefits! (Way more than are listed here. These are just some of the few.) Especially after a massage, its very important to hydrate the body in order to eliminate waste thats been transferred out of the muscle into circulation. ... This will also reduce soreness and potential headache after a massage. So please, drink MORE water today! Your body will thank you for it See more

19.01.2022 Happy holidays to all my wonderful clients. And to my Jewish clients, Happy Hanukkah

16.01.2022 I know that jobrug lifestyle is hecticly busy most of the time, but if you can find just a little bit of time to do something for YOU, something you enjoy, something that makes your heart smile, something that will set yourself up to keep doing these small things for yourself whenever you can, it will make all the difference to your health and well-being.

16.01.2022 Happy Tuesday everybody

14.01.2022 https://www.massagemyotherapy.com.au/ccms.r|45919 Its a small step.. but at least massages are technically not illegal in the state of Victoria as of today! Im not quite open for business.. but this feels kinda like a little bit of a win for me ... So Ill take it with gratitude

14.01.2022 WHAT IS FASCIA?! Just bellow your skin is a densely woven sheet of connective tissue that is essentially holding you together- FASCIA. Fascia is composed mostly of collagen and elastin and it encapsulates our cells, organs, muscle fibres, nerves and blood vessels. Fascia is one continual structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. ... In its normal healthy state, fascia is relaxed and wavy and can stretch and move without restrictions. Fascia can lose its pliability when one experiences trauma, inflammation, scarring etc. Fascia restrictions can cause all types of symptoms resulting in pain. This affects our flexibility, stability and is a huge determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and perform daily activities. MYOFASCIAL RELEASE IN MASSAGE Myofascial Release is a specific therapeutic massage technique that addresses fascia. Direct myofascial release looks for changes in the myofascial structures by stretching or elongation of the fascia or mobilising adhesive tissues. Moving slowly through the layers of the fascia until the deep tissues are reached. I use this technique in conjunction with many others when performing a deep tissue massage on my clients. Im sharing this post from my friend Shailys Facebook page. Shes a pregnancy massage therapist in Sydney, Australia. She just explains it so well! And while Im not a pregnancy massage therapist, these amazing massage techniques targeting the fascia are beneficial to all clients

14.01.2022 Haha Dont let this become you! Book a massage with #Soulfuelmassagetherapy today and relieve all that built up tension..

14.01.2022 You dont have to be Christian to celebrate Christmas. I feel like its a day to just relax. To surround yourself with love. Whether it be from friends and family or even love from yourself to yourself. Its a day to slow down to pace of everyday life. And to appreciate all the amazing things life brings to us. I Hope everyone has a relaxing day tomorrow- whatever your traditions are. ... I will be working up until Friday 27th. Then Im taking 5 days off I will be back for your backs on Thursday 2nd of January 2020

14.01.2022 My favourite weather to get massaged in...

13.01.2022 I’m back in business baby After being on a hiatus since April, I’m finally able to start massaging people again. Once again, so sorry to my lovely South African community- I am no longer living in Johannesburg and have relocated to Melbourne, Australia. I’m working casual hours for a company as well as seeing my own private clients. ... At the moment I’m mobile- which means I can travel around south east Melbourne (within 10km of Elwood) to massage you in the comfiest of your home. If anyone is interested in my services please feel free to contact me on this platform or on my mobile number in the details above. I’ve learned in this lockdown period that it’s vital to take quality time off from the busyness of everyday life. I was able to centre myself. Spend time in nature, start cycling almost everywhere, get to really stay present and fill my heart with gratitude for this beautiful life iv been given. Iv also started studying a zen shiatsu massage course, which is so amazing! I want to always improve my skills and learn as many healing modalities as possible so that I can help heal more and more people with a variety of different techniques to suit my clients individual needs. I hope you all have a wonderful-filled day Sending my love to you all

11.01.2022 Hello Rockstar Clients. This last month of the year Im giving away a gift bag to each client who books with me. This includes lavender bath salts, a purple tea light candle and soap that I made myself. The perfect ingredients for an amazing bath-time experience to use while relaxing your muscles straight after your massage. ... Everything is % natural. For all types of skin conditions. Theres also NO PLASTIC wrapping involved which is something Iv been aware of this year - just doing my bit to help save the planet I will be here throughout December, working all hours of the day from 8am up till 10pm I also just want to say a huge THANK YOU to all my loyal clients this year Youve been such a great support And even though I know Im helping you ease your muscle pains, youre helping me pursue my dream of healing the world. I hope you all have a wonderful end of year break

10.01.2022 The BREATH is so incredibly powerful. We can use it as a means to slow down our heart rate, to calm down the nervous system and allow ourselves to be fully present. It allows us to think clearly. ... As well as not to overthink Use your breath to heal yourself. Its as simple as that!

09.01.2022 Its Valentines Day is Tomorrow Book Your couples massage sessions with me for just R780 for 2 people inclusive of travel. Spaces almost full for Sunday and next week

09.01.2022 Had the pleasure of massaging the lovely Monique Bennett today at my massage room, located in the Physio Joint and Knee Clinic, Rouxville. So glad you enjoyed it

09.01.2022 As my last week of work here in SA draws to a close, I cant help but feel super grateful for each and every one of you that has supported me over the years. Youve helped me to understand that each person heals differently and has their own unique energy. I feel so blessed to have met you all through this amazing journey of having my own business. ... This is my official farewell to all of you. At least just for the time being. Iv genuinely enjoyed massaging you all through my time here in these past 9 years. I simply cant thank you enough!! I wish you all a wonderful and successful rest of this year. Filled with love and light Stay blessed.

08.01.2022 My wish for you all on this magical Monday morning

06.01.2022 As this year draws to an end, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to all my amazing, wonderful, supportive clients. You have all been through a lot, and yet you still find the time to take care of yourselves. Its truely inspiring. ... Now is the time to really settle down, take a step back from the busyness of daily life, and really relax. Whatever that means for you. You deserve it. Ill be here in Joburg all of December if anyone needs me to help kick start the end of this decade with a Deep Tissue Massage Love you all, Jessica at SoulFuel

04.01.2022 So in 6 days time its Christmas. Even without the religious affiliation, I still feel like it should be a day to relax, unplug from the world, and spend time with loved ones. Ill be working, so if anyone want to take a mini vacation on my Massage table, just let me know

04.01.2022 Massage is not just a job for me. Massage is a way of life. It’s a meditation. When I have a client on my table, and am about to enter into the sacred practice of massage, I feel like I’m fulfilling my life’s purpose. ... I feel totally and completely at ease. I feel like my true self. I feel like I drop my ego. My sense of self disappears. I feel so connected to the earth and the sky, and everything in between. I don’t feel like Jessica. My identity gets stripped away, and for a little while, I am a mere vessel for healing. Something that transmitted energy from the source to my client and from my client to the source. It’s a feeling I can’t really describe. But iv never felt more alive then when I’m focusing on my breath, and the breath of my client, and tapping into the ever abundant source of healing. I don’t have to think. My hands, arms, and my whole entire body intrinsically knows what to do. I’m so grateful that I found my way to this practice! At the moment I’m taking some time away from my practice. Not focusing as much on building my client base, in order to further my massage studies in Melbourne with a Diploma of Remedial Massage so that I can have an accredited Australian qualification, be able to be deducted with medical aid rates, and gain more knowledge in order to help more people in the near future. Im SO excited to build my business here in Melbourne, but I must be patient with it, for now. And hold onto that feeling I feel when I’m massaging someone. When I’m in my absolute element When time moves differently and I feel so at home

03.01.2022 So as some of you may already know, Im going to be moving back to Australia at the beginning of March. Iv booked a one way ticket. But that doesnt mean I might not come back. Im just going to go see what Melbourne is all about and try to get settled there This will then mean that February will be my last month of work before I leave. ...

03.01.2022 For anyone who needs to see this today

01.01.2022 To all my wonderful clients- with love Hope that today simply serves as a reminder to put love into all that you do. And feel all the love that surrounds you each and every day

01.01.2022 Happy choose - day everybody! In such troubled times where we cant control much, at least we can control our ATTITUDE. I choose an attitude of gratitude.

01.01.2022 Be. Do. Have. My dad once told me this: Often we think we need to have something first, in order to do something, and then be a certain way. For example, HAVE more money, then we can DO what we love. Then we will BE happy.... But actually, it works in reverse. We need to first BE happy, then we can DO what we love to do. And then we will HAVE contentment We first need to BE. Thats the very first step. And maybe the most challenging. But once we do that, the rest will surely follow..
