These two massages will CHANGE your life. But which one should you choose?

Next on my own journey of healing was Emotional Clearing Massage and Raindrop Therapy Massages by my Massage Therapist, Mary McDonald from Mt. Pleasant, IA. (DM me on instagram if you are local and are interested). Otherwise, research credible Emotional Clearing massages and Raindrop Therapy Massages in your area. Learn more below and decide which one is best for you. One time I accidentally booked them both and came out of the session with a hefty fee, but a renewed woman. I credit Mary with changing my life. And to her I will be forever grateful.

Emotional Clearing Massage

A soul-level reset using essential oils and intentional touch.

What it is:
Emotional Clearing Massage is a therapeutic experience that combines gentle massage, energy work, and specific essential oils to help release trapped emotions and stored trauma from the body.

How it works:
Practitioners apply pure essential oils to specific areas like the spine, heart, feet, and emotional reflex points. Using light touch, affirmations, and sometimes guided visualizations or breathwork, the session helps access old, buried emotional patterns—grief, shame, fear, anger—and bring them into conscious awareness for release.

Why people love it:

Deep emotional breakthroughs without needing to “talk it out.”
Often brings a sense of peace, clarity, and emotional lightness.
Helps reconnect the heart and body after periods of emotional disconnection or burnout.

The vibe: Safe, nurturing, sacred. Think: spiritual spa meets inner child healing.

Raindrop Therapy Massage

A detoxifying, immune-boosting technique inspired by ancient Lakota practices.

What it is:
Raindrop Therapy is a massage technique that uses a sequence of essential oils applied like “drops of rain” along the spine, followed by feather-light strokes and warm compresses. It’s designed to balance the body, reduce inflammation, and support immune function—physically and emotionally.

How it works:

7–10 essential oils are dripped onto the spine, feet, or neck.
Oils used include oregano, thyme, basil, peppermint, wintergreen, marjoram, cypress, and blends like Valor.
Oils are massaged in using special techniques (including Vitaflex) to stimulate energy flow and detoxification.

Why people love it:

Reduces pain, inflammation, and muscle tension.
Boosts the immune system naturally.
Helps release emotional blockages tied to the spine and nervous system.

The vibe: Grounding, purifying, and powerful. Like a sacred storm washing over you and leaving your soul clean.

Elevated Cowgirl Tip:

If your heart feels heavy and your spirit's been carrying too much—start with Emotional Clearing.
If your body feels burdened and your energy is sluggish—Raindrop may be the medicine you need.
