"Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?" mary oliver
This month at The Center we have even more to offer in the areas of counseling, health and renewal.
From new practitioners joining us in our space to vibrant and healing workshops and celebrations on the horizon.
So, as you plan your life this month, put CUP on your calendar under "good self care" --attend a workshop, plan a massage, get an acupuncture treatment, join our healing circle, drop in for a meditation class or stop by for yoga. If you can't stop by, be a voice for change as you plan your health savings accounts for 2010.
You have one wild and precious life, make the most of it.
Peace,
Betsy Bougie
Director of Marketing and Program Development

Flexible Spending Dollars - your voice for change
As the new year approaches it is time to consider the funding of flex accounts and other health savings plans.
Many companies allow the use of funds for preventative or wellness services such as Acupuncture, Massage Therapy, Cranial-Sacral Work, Rolfing, Dental Care, Yoga Therapy, Meditation, and Nutritional Consulting.
Some plans even allow for wellness or health related workshops and classes as approved expenses for re-imbursement. Requirements and inclusions vary widely so contact your human resources department for more information.
If your preferred providers are not on the list it is well worth your time to inquire what it would take to have your request approved. In many instances getting the coverage approved for wellness services is as easy as asking your physician for a prescription.
Successful health-care reform includes us taking responsibility for our own wellness programs and sharing information about what really works for us with our employers, co-workers, physicians and communities.
So in this busy season remember to plan ahead and empower yourself for a new year blessed with health and a renewed sense of well being.
