Welcome to Tulia Massage

Thank you for visiting the blog at Tulia Massage. I look forward to helping you on your journey to wellness in any way that I possibly can. In case you're wondering why I named the company Tulia Massage, I'll give you a little insight into my decision making process.

Tuia means "relax" in the African language of Kiswahili. I believe that relaxation is one of our most valuable assets when it comes to building a healthy and productive life.

There's this theory that the two people most likely to survive falling from a tall height are a baby and a drunk person. Why? Because they're totally relaxed. They're less likely to stiffen up. (Please don't test this theory, just take my word for it, or look up the baby that fell 11 storeys and survived earlier this month). In a word, being relaxed can save your life. On a less dramatic note, your body heals, repairs and rejuvenates much better when you're not in a tense standoff with anything (e.g. your boss, your bank account, life in general...). So I aim to help you relax.

Also, the word "Tulia" sounds so pretty to me that I just had to.

In this blog--Tulia Tips--I'll gve you, you guessed it, tips on how to relax and craft a healthy lifestyle for yourself. That looks like suggesting exercises you can do at home (stretching the neck while watching tv), little changes you can make in your everyday life (switch the bag to the other shoulder), or making you aware of recent developments in the world of health (recent studies suggest that massage therapy, in practice, can help to reduce the use of anti-inflammatory drugs for sufferers of chronic low back pain).

I'll also just give you updates as to what's going on at Tulia Massage, new discounts and services available and other health practitioners I think you would benefit from knowing. So stay tuned, follow Tulia Massage on facebook and twitter and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Take good care of yourself!
