From the outside in

January 7, 2026 by Lukas Rowland
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.

Overloaded

September 30, 2025 by Lukas Rowland
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.

Why massage?

A silver tabby sleeps on a white blanket with forelegs outstretched toward the camera

What is massage good for and what do I offer specifically? Reminder of my September promo, and description of a body scan meditation in the post.

Meditation practice

August 12, 2025 by Lukas Rowland
View from behind a Black person sitting cross-legged and partially out of frame, with their right wrist resting on their knee and thumb and forefinger making a circle. They are on the beach with the crashing surf visible in the background

I have started a personal meditation practice to see the benefits for myself, and will soon be able to offer meditation coaching as a new service.

(Re)starting stretching

August 12, 2025August 5, 2025 by Lukas Rowland
A bald massage therapist in a dark top and shorts stretches with legs spread and their right arm and torso reaching toward their right foot. Behind and to the left is a shelving unit with towels, massage linens, a foam roller, and yoga blocks.

Restarting stretching is something I do often. I try to focus on the journey of increasing my flexibility. Also in the post, thanks for another great year, and an anniversay promo code.

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.
