Massage during and after pregnancy.
Celebrating our first year!
The Rustic Remedy reflects on our very first year,
and what a year it has been.
If ending a rocky business partnership after 5 years and deciding to completely rebrand my business wasn’t scary enough, less than 3 weeks after everything was official the world shut down. I was forced to close my doors on March 18, 2020 for an indefinite period of time. I was devastated and feared everything I had worked for the last 17 years was over. Who would ever want to seek massage therapy while living in a contactless world?
That question was answered when I reopened my doors June 01, 2020 and then learned that I was a finalist in “The Best Of Northern KY” for massage therapist. Something I couldn’t help but take as a sign of some sort. It was very apparent that this “new normal” has had, and still has a severe impact on our physical and emotional health and wellbeing. From long hours of poor posture behind a home computer to starvation from human contact, we are all doing the best we can to cope and keep moving forward during a time of uncertainty.
I am truly grateful for everyone that has been supportive and continues to believe in me and The Rustic Remedy as I cannot thank you enough! I aim to provide a safe space and have a table ready for those who come to heal and find their own R&R.
Here’s to moving forward and finding a little more “R&R.” - Amanda Snow

Common Myths and Essential Oil Safety
It seems like everywhere you look there is someone with “an amazing opportunity” just waiting for you. I wrote this research paper for my final grade in my aromatherapy certification program. I tried to sum up my studies the best I could, but with all the misinformation surrounding essential oils, I could have easily kept on typing. In my own experience with MLM oil companies, I’ve been booed and hissed at every time I would bring up safety issues. I watched moms apply undiluted oils to their infants, and watched the lemon essential oil eat through styrofoam all while being promoted for internal usage. I attended classes only to feel as if I joined a cult and heard medical advice from people who shouldn’t be providing medical advice! . So please forgive me if I rub you the wrong way. I only intend to educate so you can make an informed decision. Just as the saying goes “ there are plenty of fish in the sea,” there are more than just a couple reputable sources for quality essential oils without signing up, recruiting, or joining a cult.
