I spent a long while chasing perfection before learning that the pursuit of it was doing so much harm. Announcing my ADHD coaching practice, body doubling, tarot meditations, and extending my massage promo.

From the outside in

A partially frozen bubble resting on a frond of plant; it has a feathery pattern of ice crystals on its upper half

It can be tough transitioning back to Normal Time in the darkest and coldest part of the year. Winter is a great time to prioritize rest and introspection. 2025 rates maintained into the new year and some intentions for this blog.

Happy Holidays!

December 19, 2025 by Lukas Rowland

Four cards from the Fat Folks Tarot on a cloth: the Queen of Swords, a Black woman upon a throne leveling her pink sword toward the viewer; the Six of Pentacles, a Black woman drops a coin into waiting hands; the Two of Wands, a Black woman sits on the bottom step with one wand behind while she holds another and looks into the distance; and the Ten of Cups, a hairy-legged woman kicks up one leg joyfully while reposing in a giant goblet

This holiday season, remember to take time for yourself. Tarot readings available, and virtual gift certificates! Current rates and permanent discounts will be maintained into 2026.

A visual timer featuring a red wedge to indicate remaining time, a green LED at the top centre of the dial, and a cute panda button on top

Thoughts on posture breaks for regular work and the work of our hobbies (in my case, crochet). New Sunday Scaries open for booking November 9th, promo code for massage good until November 15th.

ADHD and massage

October 23, 2025October 8, 2025 by Lukas Rowland

A low-angled view of the back wall of my massage room, featuring a curtained window letting in some sunlight, a table holding a few plants, and another bearing a square speaker and glowing salt lamp.

An extremely abriged version of my ADHD journey and how massage helps me with one of my challenges: connecting to and feeling present in my body.

Overloaded

Sculpture of a left ear against concrete; it is made of vertical slices of curved material, giving the ear a vertically pixelated look

I recently had my sense of hearing (and balance!) thrown way out of whack. Naturally, I reflected on it as it happened. Important announcement on 2026 service rates in the post.

Wuxing, five phases

July 20, 2025 by Lukas Rowland

Diagram of the Wuxing, with the Japanese kanji for Wood (green), Fire (red), Earth (yellow), Metal (grey), and Water (blue) in a circle with pink arrows linking them in clockwise order. A set of purple arrows forming a pentagram connect them in the middle, with a yin yang at the centre of the diagram

The wuxing describes five phases that energy moves through, that the year cycles through, and more. Read on for more about these elements of shiatsu, and a reminder about my PINKPURPLE discount.
