Welcome to my blog!
I am Bridget Welch, LMT, an artist and healer. In my blog, we explore various topics related to health, self-expression, art, personal growth, and more. It is also a good way to stay informed about my upcoming events, specials, or brand-new projects.
The first time I tried meditation, back in college, I did not know exactly what it was. I attempted my idea of it, with no instruction whatsoever. I thought that when you meditated you were not supposed to think or feel anything. Boy was I disappointed when I couldn’t get away from the...
Are you too busy for a massage? Say it isn’t so! That means you are TOO busy. Slow down and take care of yourself, because if you won’t, who will? Massage therapy is an essential part of preventative health care. Sure, you can go get a massage when you’ve already hurt your back...
Apparently the Japanese did. Barefoot Shiatsu is a form of massage that works with the flow of energy through your body along lines called meridians (the same ones as in Chinese acupuncture). The energy flows through your body, supporting the various systems. If the energy gets blocked (think of...
Almost everyone who has ever had a massage by me has been taught the doorway stretch. In my opinion, it is the number one most effective stretch that helps with almost every neck and shoulder problem.

"Communicate. Show your love. Give compliments. Dance together. Hold hands a...
I have been massaging since 1997, the first half of that time in Orlando, the second half in Tallahassee. I have had my hands on hundreds, maybe thousands of bodies. My training in Orlando included an advanced program at Florida College of Natural Health, where one of my teachers...
I like to get 90-minute massages. For years, I almost always got 6o-minute massages, then my LMT friend, Dawn, and I were setting up a trade and she suggested we do ninety minutes. This was about two years ago. Wow, I don’t know how I made it 12 or 13 years as a massage...
You give and give and give, but who takes care of you? Who fills your cup? We must fill our own cups, build ourselves up and make ourselves strong and centered and secure. Not in a bolstering or protecting way, but more of a grounding, empowering way. We must love...
"I am concerned about justice. I am concerned about brotherhood. I am concerned about truth. And when one is concerned about these, once can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer but you cannot murder murder. Through violence you may...
It helps our minds to have uncluttered houses. But sometimes we clean and clean until the house sparkles, but our minds and hearts remain discontented. It’s time to go within. Let’s use our Kundalini Yoga and Meditation to clear away the subconscious garbage that...
