heartGreetings!

 
For February and Valentine's Day we are celbrating Friends and Friendship.
 

Remember elementary school, cutting out all those Valentine's for all your friends and classmates?  Are you still connected with any of those friends?
 

We find we are, all of a sudden, due to the phenomenon of Social Networking.  Whether you like it or not, Facebook has moved into our consciousness.  We are finding it a fun and entertaining way to keep in touch with people who we really have no other day to day contact with.  And for that, we are grateful.


To celebrate such connections, this month we are inviting you to become our friend on Facebook.  Simply head on over to our page and click "Like".  That's it, nice and easy.

 

On Valentine's Day, all of our Facebook Friends will receive a coupon worth $10 off your next session, and one Lucky Facebook Friend will Win a Massage.

Thank you for your interest!

Palms Out Relieves Pain
 

Neck, upper back and shoulder pain are very common these days.  Amelia often jokes that seems to be the "American way" to have pain in these areas because we hold so much tension there and we are so pulled forward.  Huh?


 

You are probably sitting at your desk right now - are your shoulders or head pulled forward? Are you leaning into the monitor, are your shoulders rotated forward?  This posture is really hard on all the upper body muscles.  Our pecs get shortened, rhomboids and traps get over-stretched, head goes forward, so neck muscles and upper back are all working to keep it attached.  And then we get in the car and it often gets worse.


Ouch!  What's a body to do?


 

A really simple thing to do and notice is where your hands are.  When you are sitting, resting or standing, simply rotate your palms out.  Feel your shoulders open. See if you can incorporate this into your day to day life, and throw in a few gentle shoulder rolls when you can.  You will feel better!


 

Beyond that:

Stretch and lengthen in front, open up your chest, rotate your shoulders back, tighten your lats, lift the back of your head and slightly tuck your chin to bring your head back in alignment.  Ahhh....


And finally, yes, get a massage.  Frozen shoulders and neck issues are one of Amelia's specialties, and Laura has worked wonders with CranioSacral therapy.

Recent Client Reviews, thank you!


Amelia's client Pam L. says:
"Having my first-ever post surgical lymphatic massage was not only a feel-good experience, but an educational one as well.  She provided insight about how my body worked/why it felt the way it did...something no surgeon had ever done.
Amelia offers a very comfortable, attractive and peaceful setting, without the spa 'fru-fru.'

She surpasses the standard spa experience with her very tuned-in massage and getting-to-know-you style. I'm looking forward to every aspect of my next massage."
 
 
Laura's client Adrianne W. says:
 

"First session of CranioSacral therapy for my son. I'm still wrapping my head around the technical terms of what CST is but to SEE what it did for my son in just that one session was wonderful.
 

He was so relaxed. And what a happy (and hungry) little boy afterwards! We are very excited to continue our sessions with Laura!"
