Greetings!
We send the blessings of Ease, Joy and Alchemy to you as April brings us the beauty and the showers of spring!
This month a couple of things are coming to mind. Detox - is coming to a lot of people's attention recently. Spring is an ideal time to cleanse, revitalize and renew your body and spirit. Amelia has developed a Detox Massage protocol that is a wonderful health and wellness support.
Babies! We love them! Babies and children are free of the "stories" and compensations patterns that adults often pick up along the way. With this freedom, they often shift and change with supportive bodywork quickly and easily. Laura's practice specializes in pediatric CranioSacral therapy, some of the benefits or indications for this gentle, non-invasive therapy are below. We also share some feedback we recently received from a Mom in our practice.
And finally, the end of your session. You will generally hear from us, "take your time, come up gently" why is this, and what can you do at the end of your session to multiply its benefits?
Thank you for spending some time with us this month, don't miss this month's special below!

Detox Massage
Amelia has developed a protocol that combines massage
techniques with Lymph Drainage Therapy and assists your detox by enhancing the
body's circulation, digestion, organ function and lymphatic flow.
 As the lymphatic system is responsible for the
removal of many of the toxins released during a detox, enhancing its function
and its impact on the organs means a better detox with fewer symptoms or
issues.
In addition, Detox Massage supports
digestive health with abdominal massage, castor oil packs and lymph drainage
for the major organs responsible for removing toxins from the body - the liver,
colon and intestines, stomach, kidneys and skin.
Amelia is a gentle and nurturing therapist who always customizes sessions to meet the
clients needs of the day. A series of Detox Massages are a perfect accompaniment to a detox diet or cleanse. See below for Amelia's introductory special.
Detox Massage is very
relaxing and soothing. It reduces stress
and the symptoms of burn-out while raising serotonin levels and enhancing the
body's natural ability to heal and detoxify. Amelia has also coordinated this program with the specialists at CHHC, so a full dietary and supplement detox program is also now available to you from your trusted therapists and counselors at Chesapeake Holistic Health Center.
To schedule or inquire further, contact Amelia at 410-570-8927.

 The day we discovered that Gillian really likes to be upside down. Amelia is now know as Aunt Monkey Bars.
 | Kelly H. shares her impressions of working with Ease, Joy and Alchemy Therapists.
"I could not ask for more
tender and loving care of my twins and myself. I can share that from
creation of the twins to the post care of my adorable daughters, Amelia
and Laura have been angels to our family.
"Their talent can not be explained in
words completely. You need to experience it for yourself to understand
the depths of their abilities. Their human touch of the soul and
spirit is resoundingly huge.
"The changes that I have had and seen within
my daughters physically has been a healthy and grounding start to a
better future. We will always be within their care, even if the drive
becomes longer than our current two hour excursion each way. It is well
worth every minute of our time and effort to be a part of their practice.
"May the fog and toxicity be lifted from anyone who wants to better
themselves with Amelia and Laura's treatments and care." Kelly H.
These days Kelly and the girls receive CranioSacral therapy with Laura and Therapeutic massage and Lymph Drainage with Amelia. Kelly has been a long term client and in addition to the other therapies, she also received fertility sessions with Amelia before the pregnancy. The twin girls, Charlotte and Gillian, born full term in December 2009 are happy, healthy and growing so quickly!

After Your Session
"Take your time getting up - move gently and slowly"
Why do we say this?
Because we want to help you maximize the benefits of your session.
So, before you get up, rest gently on the table for a couple of minutes, breathe deeply and simply notice. How does your body feel right now? What is different? What feels good? How could you move differently? How would you like to spend the rest of your day?
Take this time to notice and let the changes and the sensations sink in. It is a delicious time after a session, you are alone, it is quiet and peaceful and you can indulge yourself with a bit more me time.
If you are concerned you will fall asleep, let us know, we will set a gentle alarm or knock quietly in 2-3 minutes.
Let it sink in, you just had a marvelous bodywork session, let it permeate deeply into your body, move slowly, be gentle, honor how well you are taking care of yourself.
A few other after session thoughts. Consider handling scheduling and payment before your session so that you don't have to get back in your head too quickly. If you feel a bit ungrounded when you get up, sit quietly and press your feet into the floor. Have a drink of water to help you refocus before driving and to rehydrate.
Take your time.
