What a year 2021 has been. Who would have ever guessed that such a year would lead to my newest venture, the Cannabis Spa Association. Truly 2021 was not quite as crazy as 2020, but still incredibly crazy. There is so much uncertainty regarding so many aspects of life. I know one thing that was really bothering me at the beginning of this year was the lack of support I felt in the health care industry. That feeling led me to an application called Clubhouse. If you have never heard of it, it is an application for Iphone, similar to podcasts, except they are live conversations happening all over ..read more

Cannabis infused Gua Sha, our latest addition to services at Primal Therapeutics, as well as a topic of education in our classes throughout 2021 at the International Esthetics Cosmetics and Spa Conference is starting to trend, and we could not be more excited.

It can also make you more susceptible to heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other major health risks.  Around 50-70 million Americans have a sleep disorder, per data from the American Sleep Association ..read more

Recently, I was invited to the first-ever American Spa CBD Summit to speak on a panel about how the popular non-intoxicating cannabinoid is impacting the spa industry. As I sat up there, surrounded by scientists, doctors, nurses, massage therapists, estheticians, and business owners, I couldn’t believe how much things had changed in just a few short years. Back in 2017, American Spa Magazine had done a short feature on my cannabis massage company, Primal Therapeutics. At that point, cannabis massage was little more than a niche curiosity — but people could sense something big was coming.
