Greetings!,
As Thanksgiving approaches, I could not resist sharing with you one of my new favorite dessert recipes--Sweet Pumpkin Custard. It's healthy, light and refreshing, and goes great with traditional Thanksgiving fare. And it's easy to make.
I also wanted to remind you that there are only three days left to take advantage of the "Connect With Yourself" Package that includes two Process Acupressure treatments and one Health Counseling session. This special offer ends Weds, November 25.
**Connect With Yourself Package:
--Two Process Acupressure treatments, plus
--One Health/Nutrition Counseling session
Special price just $199 until 11/25.
(regular price $335 if booked separately)
Please email me at dgallers@yahoo.com to book your package. More information about Process Acupressure is below (along with the recipe).
Use the package to gear up for the holiday season or to jump-start the new year with health and vitality. The 3-session series must be completed by 2/15/10.
Bodywork can facilitate greater awareness of core issues or blocks (as
well as core strengths), and can empower you to make significant shifts
in your health, eating habits, and mindset.
As always, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in your well being and personal growth. I wish you a healthy and happy Thanksgiving, nourishing, fu, and connected to your source and to those you love.
Warmly,
Donna

Process Acupressure
|
|
 Process Acupressure is a therapeutic, hands-on bodywork modality that uses traditional methods based in classical Chinese medicine to support the body's own balancing and healing processes at a very deep, core level. It's great for physical symptoms and specific health issues, as well as stress, trauma, emotional blocks or life issues -- which are all too often connected, anyway.
In 1998, a series of Process Acupressure sessions helped me get me "out of my head" about
my life and reconnect with my heart and body, to feel in harmony with
myself inside and out. It also helped me unravel and gain awareness about chronic pain and other health challenges I was facing. Process Acupressure enabled me to organize some of the loose ends in my life and get on a path that was aligned with what I can best
describe as my soul's purpose. I began
training in Process Acupressure in
1999 and have made it central to my bodywork practice ever since.
 Our bodies become storehouses for all our life experiences--physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. It often takes a multi-tiered approach to make lasting changes when we have a fundamental imbalance in one or more of these areas. Process Acupressure uses gentle touch at key points along the energy pathways of the body (called meridians) to release restrictions and rebalance energy flows in the body. The points are accessed via a style of touch called "interface" that contacts both the structure and energy of the body at once. This facilitates connection, revitalization, and healing on a "whole-being" level.
Sessions take place clothed on a massage table. Many clients report
going into a deeply grounded state from which they gain awareness about
key health or life issues, while at the same time experiencing an
energetic release that is often accompanied by relief from physical
symptoms that have been troubling them.
Sessions with Donna are
extremely relaxing and opening. The true magic in her work shines as
I experience the cumulative benefits for days. --CS, financial services manager

THANKSGIVING (or anytime!) RECIPE
|
|
PUMPKIN CUSTARD
This delicious recipe is vegan, as well as gluten, soy and sugar-free. It's easy to make and makes about 8 servings. You can make it a day in advance of serving.
Ingredients:
2 cups pumpkin, cooked, drained and firmly packed (or use canned pumpkin -- the plain kind, not the pie filling mix)
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp powdered ginger
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp sea salt
4-5 tbsp maple or agave syrup
2 cups water, cold or room temperature
3 tbsp kuzu root starch
Combine water and kuzu root starch in a saucepan. Stir to mix and let stand for a few minutes. The liquid will look milky.
Heat over a medium flame, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken. The solution will take on a gel-like consistency, like a thick sauce. Remove from heat.
Combine pumpkin and the remaining ingredients in a blender. Add the kuzu mixture and blend until smooth. Return the whole mixture to saucepan and heat over a low flame, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes until it thickens further but can still be poured.
Pour into individual custard cups and chill for 20-30 minutes until it sets to a custard consistency.
Serve plain or with a dusting of nutmeg. Or garnish with some crushed nuts or dried berries, or a drizzle of maple or fruit syrup. If you're not vegan, you can top the custard with a dollop of plain yogurt or whipped cream.
**Never cooked with fresh pumpkin before? Here's how:
Use small sugar pumpkins, not the large ones that become jack-o-lanterns! One sugar pumpkin will yield about 2 cups of cooked pumpkin.
Cut pumpkins in half cross-wise and remove the seeds and stringy stuff.
Place cut side down in a baking dish and add about 1/4 inch water to the bottom. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, until soft, then cool.
Scoop out the flesh and discard the skins. Place the flesh in a collander and drain for about an hour (or, for quicker draining, squeeze the excess liquid through the collander with your hands!).

ABOUT ME
|
|
 I am a Holistic Health Counselor, Licensed Massage Therapist, and
Certified Qigong Instructor. I work with clients individually or in
groups to learn how to eat and live well, address health issues
naturally and holistically, and set up their lives for optimum health
and happiness.
Nutrition, diet, and bodywork, along with exercise, mind-body
awareness, stress management, and detoxification have transformed my
life, helping me to heal from rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain,
allergies, and digestive problems. I've moved from worrying about my
health all the time to knowing that I'm in
charge of my life and have the power to create my own well being. I am
passionate about sharing my knowledge and especially that experience of
transformation and empowerment with you.
Warmly,
Donna Gallers, LMT, CHHC, AADP
