From the brilliant, creative mind of Courtney Kelly comes this whimsical yet intimate portrayal of man’s furry friends. I have always been a HUGE animal lover.
Besides our baby, Keeley Bear, we regularly feed and care for neighborly cats, transient rabbits, and all matter of migrating birds. It was hard for me to express my love devotion for life’s most vulnerable and delicate creatures until I first laid eyes upon my favorite Courtney Kelly masterpiece, “Greyhound De La Muerte”. (pictured above)
Now, thanks to the wonders of the internet, you too can have your very own Courtney Kelly displayed prominently above your fireplace.
For a nominal price, CourtsArt (partnered with Etsy Art) will delivery a high-quality archival print of any one of her fantastic works, including “High Five Kitty” (pictured right) and many others. Visit http://www.etsy.com/shop/courtsart to view the entire catalog and let Courtney know how much you love her!
Spinal Flow by Isha is a heart-led healing practice that supports your nervous system through gentle touch, deep listening, and real respect for your body’s natural wisdom. If you’re tired of pushing through stress, pain, burnout, or emotional overload, this is a softer, more compassionate way to come back to yourself.
Based in Tucson, Spinal Flow by Isha proudly welcomes LGBTQ+ folks and allies. This is an affirming space where you don’t have to explain your identity, “tone it down,” or make yourself easier to accept. You get to show up as you are—and your body, boundaries, and lived experience are honored.
What Is Spinal Flow?
Spinal Flow is a gentle, non-force healing modality that works with the spine and nervous system. It’s designed to help the body release stored tension, stress, and survival patterns that can build up over time.
A lot of us carry stress not just in our minds, but in our bodies—especially if we’ve lived through trauma, chronic stress, long-term anxiety, or years of feeling unsafe or unseen. This work meets you where you are, without judgment and without pressure.
What to Expect in a Spinal Flow Session
Sessions involve light touch at specific access points along the spine and sacrum. The goal is to help your nervous system shift out of fight-or-flight and into a more regulated, grounded state.
When your nervous system feels safe, your body can begin to reorganize and settle naturally. People often leave sessions feeling calmer, more present, and emotionally lighter. Some clients also notice physical relief, better sleep, clearer emotions, or a deeper sense of inner safety.
Trauma-Aware, Consent-Based Nervous System Support
Isha—the practitioner behind Spinal Flow by Isha—offers an approach that’s trauma-aware, consent-based, and never rushed. Healing here shouldn’t feel invasive, conditional, or like you need to “perform” wellness.
This work isn’t about fixing you. It’s about creating the conditions where your body can remember how to heal and regulate itself.
Who Spinal Flow Can Help
Spinal Flow by Isha is a great fit if you’re navigating:
Anxiety or ongoing stress
Burnout or emotional exhaustion
Chronic tension or overwhelm
Life transitions, grief, or big changes
A desire to feel safer and more at home in your body
You don’t need to be flexible, spiritual, or “already healed” to benefit. You only need to show up.
A Tucson Healing Practice Rooted in Community
Tucson’s LGBTQ+ community thrives on authenticity, resilience, and chosen family—and Spinal Flow by Isha reflects those same values. If you’re looking for gentle nervous system support in Tucson, this is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect in a way that feels safe and empowering.
Reviews:
Client feedback: feeling lighter, more relaxed, and supported after a session.
I had an amazing experience with Spinal Flow by Isha. After just one session, my chronic back pain noticeably decreased, which honestly surprised me. Isha is incredibly professional and clearly knows what she’s doing. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable with her warm, welcoming presence. She took the time to explain the process and made sure I felt at ease the entire session. I left feeling lighter, more relaxed, and hopeful. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with ongoing back pain or simply looking for genuine, thoughtful care. – Marissa Love ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dr. Andrew Watley helps you find clarity and confidence with culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ & BIPOC-affirming coaching—online and flexible.
I’m Dr. Andrew Watley, a proud Tucson transplant originally from New Orleans, Louisiana. For the past decade, I’ve worked in the mental health field, first as a licensed therapist and now as a wellness coach. I founded Wellness Awaits when I decided to step away from the formalities of traditional therapy to create a space where I could show up as my most authentic self and help others do the same. My motto? No masks allowed!
As a Black and gay man, I bring both personal insight and professional experience to the table when working with clients navigating the intersections of identity, culture, and wellness. Representation matters, and my goal is to ensure that the mental health and wellness needs of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities are seen, heard, and supported.
I offer online coaching for individuals, couples, and families. While I specialize in BIPOC and Queer issues, Wellness Awaits is open to anyone seeking clarity, confidence, and personal growth, from young adults to elders.
Tucson has quickly felt like home to me. Much like New Orleans, it’s a vibrant melting pot of cultures, traditions, and creativity. Its openness to holistic health and healing is what first drew me here and it’s what continues to inspire me to stay and serve this incredible community.
The moment I walk into the building, I am at ease. The smells, the natural surroundings, and the pure intention of each practitioner in their healing art moves me. Grateful to see such a sanctuary thriving in what they do best. Samantha S.
Center 4 Self-Care welcomes you! All of you. The YOU you want to be. We are a queer owned, queer friendly wellness collective. All four owners found our way to Tucson from other parts of the country and felt drawn to opening a business here for the healing energy, welcoming community, and of course the mountain views. We have built a team of experienced, skilled, and informed practitioners providing heart centered services. We believe that self-care is a constantly evolving process as unique and individual as you are.
Our background and passion began with massage therapy and many styles of bodywork. Over the years we have expanded to include energy modalities, acupuncture, postural alignment, health and wellness coaching, all natural locally sourced skin care, yoga, meditation, education, and community wellness events. We are currently excited about partnering with local non-profit organizations to provide access to self-care services to those in recovery. Our hope is that this program will lead to successful outcomes including higher functioning, less dependence on our healthcare system, and improved mental health in our community. As advocates of mental health awareness and members of the Tucson LGBT Chamber of Commerce we enjoy working together to elevate humanity. We strive to connect each other with resources that are supportive in all things wellness. We are here for you and your best self!
Our bodies can hold so much trauma and massage therapy can facilitate healing in a gentle, effective, and affirming way. We believe in the inherent right of everyone to feel good in the skin that they’re in. We pride ourselves on creating a safe space and offering client-centered compassionate connection.

Pop Cycle is a retail gift shop that sells unique, green, fun things made from recycled items.
Fun, Campy and Gay Friendly, once you enter you’ll know why I love Pop Cycle. Find earrings and clothes and wall art and cards and all kinds of great gifts. Even some fun things with gay icons like wonder woman! There are so many cool things, I usually go through the store a few times to make sure I don’t miss anything.
I particularly love the letters made from recycled cans. I have the word “imagine” across the wall between my kitchen and great room. If you don’t see the letters you want, just ask, they can usually find you the letters to make your favorite word(s) or saying(s).
Also check Pop Cycle on 4th Ave for Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) stuff. I bought the awesome little green skeleton (see photo below) there.
Last time I was there they had some license plates that you could customize, I think. lol You’ll have to check and see.
Go in and play and have fun and remember to tell them you found them on GayTucson.com!
