Description
Massage therapist Renee shares his journey from pharmacy tech to master therapist and reveals how therapeutic touch can unlock both physical and emotional healing. This conversation explores the science of fascia, the mind-body connection, and practical approaches to incorporating massage therapy into your wellness routine.
• Finding passion through massage therapy after a childhood of receiving healing touch from his grandmother
• Developing technical skills through extensive education including over 1,000 hours of formal training
• Creating safe spaces where clients feel empowered to speak up about their bodies
• Understanding fascia as the connective tissue that holds our body together like an orange peel
• Witnessing emotional releases that instantly dissolve physical tension
• Preparing the body before surgery and supporting healing afterward through therapeutic massage
• Recommending monthly massage sessions as preventative care rather than crisis intervention
• Assigning "homework" between sessions like targeted stretches that take only 5-10 minutes daily

This is Delay the Binge™
Delay the Binge™ explores the patterns behind burnout, Quiet Depletion, reactive coping, and the behaviors we return to even when we know they no longer serve us.
Through emotionally honest conversations and practical insight from experts in neuroscience, psychology, resilience, wellness, leadership, and human behavior, we explore why we do what we do, what happens when stress and depletion take over, and how small intentional choices can begin to change what happens next.
Because lasting change isn’t about getting it right every time. It’s about learning to recognize the pattern, create a pause, and choose your next right move.
Pause. Choose. Build momentum. Finish stronger.
