A Little Life Update, a Lot of Heart, and Your Loosen Up Team

It’s been a little while since I’ve written here, and there’s so much I want to share with you.

If you’ve ever been on my table, you know how much I care about what you’re carrying when you walk through our door. The tight shoulders, the tired body, the full mind. Sometimes you know exactly what you need. Sometimes you just know you need a little care.

At Loosen Up DeLand, we want you to feel seen, heard, and cared for. That means listening, paying attention, and making room for what your body needs that day. That’s the heart of this place—and the heart of the team growing alongside me.

I have some exciting personal news: On October 27, I’ll finish my degree in Alternative Medicine, and in 2027, I’m officially starting chiropractic school at Palmer!

There’s a lot of studying ahead, but I’m so excited to keep learning and build on the work I love.

Once school begins, my massage schedule will be very limited. For those of you who have trusted me with your care for years, I know seeing someone new can feel like a big change. You get comfortable with your person. I get that.

And I want you to know how much confidence I have in the people here.

Brenda is working toward her certification in medical massage, continuing to deepen her knowledge and the care she brings to her sessions.

Abigail holds the BCTMB credential—Board Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. She brings that dedication and knowledge to her work with you.

Lisa brings years of experience and is probably our deepest-pressure massage therapist. If you love deeper tissue work, she may be your person.

Mason focuses on corrective care and works Saturdays and Sundays, giving you a weekend option to make time for your body.

Each therapist has their own touch and strengths, and they share my commitment to listening and caring for you. If you’re unsure who to book with, ask us. I would love to help you find the right fit.

I also want to remind you about our $79 monthly membership, because making care a regular part of your life should feel doable.

Your membership includes:

• One massage each month.

• $30 off every additional massage that same month, with no limit on the number of additional visits.

• One extra person can visit once that month for $30 off, so you can share a little care with someone you love.

  
  

My hope is that having that time set aside makes it easier to care for yourself before you’re completely worn out. You deserve room on your own calendar, too.

Thank you for being part of Loosen Up, for trusting us, and for letting us be part of your lives. It means so much to me to keep growing with this community.

Whether it’s been a few weeks or a long while, we’d love to see you. Come as you are. We’ll listen, and we’ll take it from there.

With love,

Karla
