About Me

      

      Hi, I’m Yelena ~ mama to seven amazing kids and bonus mama to one sweet girl. I’m also a newlywed, a massage therapist, and someone who finds deep joy in nurturing others ~ whether that’s through therapeutic touch, conversation, or simply holding space.

      Our blended nest is lively and full of heart. Life looks different than it used to. I’m no longer homeschooling, and with a full massage practice and a busy family, my crafting time is more sporadic these days. But the love of making things, repurposing the old, and noticing beauty in the everyday still lives in me.

      I run Blossom Nest Massage, where I offer intuitive, restorative care with hot towels, thoughtful touch, and an atmosphere that invites people to breathe and soften. Helping others feel safe and cared for is what I’m most passionate about ~ whether it’s in the massage room or around the kitchen table.

      This blog is a place for stories ~ real, honest reflections on motherhood, stepmotherhood, marriage, healing, and the ever changing seasons of life. If you’re into cozy chaos, deep conversations, or finding comfort in the little things, you’re in the right place.

Welcome to my nest.

I’m so glad you’re here!
