Wanna know a secret? 👇🤐👇🤐👇🤐⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Even after more than a decade of regular, committed personal growth work, uncomfortable emotions can still challenge me. Especially when they're particularly strong or intense.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Is this true for you too?⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Experiencing bone-deep sadness, red hot anger, or paralyzing fear can feel a lot like being stuck inside of a tornado. Overwhelming and super scary. It can feel impossible to breathe, hold on to your center, and maintain a connection to your own heart and body.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ This is why I created massage + heart session combination appointments.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Beginning with massage therapy helps ground and create a feeling of safety and relaxation so that it's easier to approach those difficult emotions with strength and non-resistance.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ As we move into the somatic dialoging and subtle energy work of the heart session, radical acceptance of and intimacy with your own emotions help reconnect you to YOU and allow for deeper clarity and forward movement.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ If these words resonate with you, if you feel a spark of something drawing you in like a moth to a flame, if part of you is whispering "yes yes yes," reach out in my DMs.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ I'd love to hear your story.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ #massagetherapy #therapeuticbodywork #selfcarematters #selfcarefirst #loveyourself #westmichigan #eastowngr #feelgoodinyourbody #energywork #holistichealth #radicalselfacceptance #personalgrowthjunkie #difficultemotions #getgrounded #connecttoYOU #littledipperlife #emotionalhealth #fullself #breathedeep #mindfulnesspractice #thisisyoga #gryoga #experiencegr #heartcentered #innerwork #socialmediawithsoul #thebodydoesntlie #embodied

Sooooooo… this is awkward.⁠⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ I just realized that I’ve NEVER properly introduced myself here. Let’s change that, shall we?⁠⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ I’m Kate Block — the quirky, nature-loving, dog-obsessed, honest AF rebel behind Little Dipper.⁠⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ Three things you MIGHT not know about me…⁠⁣⁠ (1) My husband and I just bought our first house in the North Park neighborhood of GR and we are IN LOVE. I’m especially jazzed about the big backyard complete with a fire pit and mature trees (yay!), the original hardwood floors, and the ginormous farmhouse sink.⁠⁣⁠ (2) I rewatch the entire Dawson’s Creek series probably twice a year. #teampacey, y’all.⁠⁣⁠ (3) I make a mean deep dish Dutch apple pie. Wanna know the secret? Use Northern Spy apples, if you can find ‘em (Courtlands or Jonagolds if you can’t), and slice them super thin. For an “OMG, what IS that?” surprise burst of spice, add a heaping 1/4 tsp of cardamom. 😉⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ But what really lights me up is helping people connect more deeply to their bodies and hearts via therapeutic bodywork and yoga so that they can breathe easier, move with less pain, and show up more fully in their lives — recognizing their own inner wisdom and aligning with their personal true north. Now that’s some powerful stuff!⁠⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ 💇 by @tiffanyhutchins⁠⁣⁠ 💄 by @wanderluxbeautyco⁣⁠ 📷 by @abbeylmoore⁠⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ ⁠#saturdayselfie #yogaeverydamnday #selflovefirst #bestlifeproject #grandrapids #adami #downtowngr #yogaandmassage #doglover #michiganyogababes #grnow #thisislittledipper #mygryoga #letmeintroducemyself #sayhello #feelinggood #findyourmagic #liveembodied #findyourtruenorth #babeswhoblog #thatauthenticfeeling #vibrantyou #littledipperlife #midtowngr #flashesofdelight #thatsdarling #lifeonpurpose #secretingredient⁠
💃💃💃 Ch-ch-ch-changes are coming, y'all! Wanna know more? 👇👇👇⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Lots of exciting stuff happening at Little Dipper this fall — policy and pricing updates, some new yoga offerings, and ***drumroll, please*** the first ever Little Dipper retreat this November (co-hosting with two of my favorite babes on the planet).⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ If you want to make sure you're in the loop (and are the first to know when a fresh blog goes live or the amazing @jennafeldie and I add new Somatic Sessions dates to the calendar), sign up for the Little Dipper mailing list here: http://eepurl.com/duO6cz or head to the website (thisislittledipper.com) and click the "Say Hello" tab.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ PS. I hate a cluttered inbox as much as the next girl, so I promise not to bombard you with emails (the plan is to shoot out an email once every 4-8 weeks, max). 😉⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ #getamassage #selfcarematters #therapeuticbodywork #betruebeyou #eastown #thisislittledipper #newontheblog #lifeonpurpose #wholeself #personalgrowthjunkie #heartcentered #liveyourtruth #yogajourney #beyondasana #trustthebody #experiencegr #feelgoodinyourbody #grmi #littledipperlife #mindbodyconnection #connecttoYOU #findyourmagic #takecareofyou #radicalselfcare #timetofeelgood #gryoga⁣ #grnow #getthescoop #hotoffthepresses
LOCAL LOVE: @bad.abs of @badmarketingcompany⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Anna VanAgtmael (the beauty and the brains behind @yourwanderingroots) introduced me to Abby last year and thank goodness she did!⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ I don't think it's any secret that being a solopreneur can be EXHAUSTING and before I started working with Abby, I was wildly stressed out.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Abby's process for social media coaching helped me uncover my WHY with social media so that I could develop an actual strategy and create my content without a bunch of drama and wasted time. And now I get to focus a lot more of my energy on doing what I really love (yoga + therapeutic bodywork, duh 😉).⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ If you're a small business owner too and you're feeling more than a little overwhelmed by social or web-related stuff (Abby does web design as well!), get in touch with Abby. It doesn't have to be this hard -- I promise.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ #socialmediawithsoul #locallove #localbiz #tryeasy #getacoach #greatlakesstate #grmi #localeconomy #takeyourtimeback #feelinggood #smallbiz #solopreneur #glowup #webdesign #minimalist #littledipperlife #supportlocal #bossbabe #batching #bizcoach #grnow #experiencegr #delegate #easypeasy #westmi #michiganawesome #dramafree #findyourhappy #bizmagic⁠
New life LITERALLY growing from the ashes.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ In 2014, I quit my grad program. And then I got divorced. It was pain and it was fire and it was, in many ways, one of the loneliest times to my life. But everything — EVERYTHING — that I love in my life now came out of the wreckage of the life that I burned to the ground five years ago.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ If the flames have scorched you, if you feel burnt beyond recognition, if your life is in ashes around you, know that death and destruction can be the precursors to beauty, magic, and freedom.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Watch for the green leaves, keep your eyes on the stars, and wait for the rising.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ #wellnessjourney #personalgrowthjunkie #myyogalife #lightanddark #reallife #phoenix #fromtheashes #findyourtruenorth #socialmediawithsoul #truthbomb #thisismyyoga #beyondasana #wednesdaywisdom #newlife #lifeafterdivorce #grgram #therising #grandrapidsmi #gryoga #tellyourtruth #selflovefirst #vulnerability #seebeauty #findfreedom #dontgiveup #westmichigan #lessonsfromnature⁠

And that's okay.⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ It doesn’t mean that boundaries are bad or that you’re "mean" for creating boundaries or for letting people experience the consequences that result from trampling all over them.⁣ ⁣ You're allowed to give yourself exactly what you need in order to feel safe, happy, and at peace.⁣ ⁣ What would it feel like to be as kind to YOURSELF as you are to the people in your life? 💗⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #westmichiganwellness #healthymichigan #grbossbabe #squadbettie #grandrapidsyoga #experiencegr #thehappynow #littledipperlife #forrealfriday #betruebeyou #fullself #realvibesonly #grmi #righthererightnow #thatauthenticfeeling #therealness #tellyourtruth #feelthemoment #liveyouryoga #findyourflow #healthyboundaries #selfawareness #emotionalhealth #bekindtoyou ⁣ #findpeace #betterboundaries
