🌿 Behind the Scenes: What an Afternoon Looks Like at Zensations

Once the last massage session of the morning wraps up and the room is reset, my afternoons shift gears—but the focus on balance, care, and movement continues in a different way.

As a solo massage therapist, running Zensations is about more than just giving treatments. It’s a lifestyle that weaves together wellbeing, responsibility, and the things I love. Here’s a little peek into what a typical afternoon looks like once the doors close.

🧺 Laundry, Linens & Resetting the Space

First up: the washing. A big part of keeping things fresh and welcoming for every client is making sure towels are always clean, soft, and beautifully folded. The washing machine hums in the background while I sanitize the treatment room, reset the diffuser, and make everything perfect for the next day.

This quiet routine gives me a moment to reflect on the morning’s sessions and prepare the space for tomorrow’s clients with intention and care.

🐾 Dog Time: Walks, Snuggles & Snacks

Next, it’s time to shift my attention to my two senior dogs—my constant companions. We go for a short walk (usually with plenty of sniff stops), then it’s time for their lunch and some well-earned pats. These slow, simple moments ground me, reminding me why I value a life that moves at a more mindful pace.

💃 Off to Dance

A few afternoons a week, I head off to one of my other passions—dance. Working a few hours at a prestigious studio keeps me connected to my creative side and brings a different kind of energy into my life. Whether I’m assisting or just moving in rhythm, dance fills my cup in ways that perfectly complement the stillness of massage work.

🎾 Pickleball or Tennis to End the Day

Then it’s game time! Most days end on the court—either with a paddle in hand for pickleball or a racquet for tennis. Both help me unwind, stay strong, and laugh a lot. It’s a joyful, high-energy way to close the day, and a reminder that movement can be playful and powerful.

✨ Full Circle

My afternoons aren’t just “free time”—they’re a vital part of the balance that allows me to be fully present for my clients each morning. By taking care of my body, mind, and furry family, I ensure I can show up for you with energy, clarity, and care.

Because Zensations isn’t just a place you come to relax—it’s a lifestyle I live, every single day.
