The pros far out-weigh the cons when it concerns your everyday health and well-being.
Here are just a few good reasons to make massage therapy a part of your regular routine to take care of yourself...

 October 2009
Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful Autumn weather and marveling at the spectacular color show that Mother Nature is about to bestow upon us.
October kicks off the Full Body Hot Stone massage season! With the weather being on the cooler side, it's time to treat yourself to an hour of the ultimate relaxation massage.
In recognition of National Massage Awareness week (Oct 25 - 31) I am offering my regular one hour relaxation massages for only $45.00! Call me to schedule your appointment and take advantage of this $20.00 savings.
Please make a note that starting this month, I will be working out of the Halsey Street location only.
I have added an essential oil promotional block to my newsletter (see below) to pass along valuable savings for essential oils and essential oil blends. I think this is a great way to convey the benefits and uses of these healing oils and perhaps pique your interest in exploring the world of natural remedies.
"Whoever has no time for their health,
will have to find time for their sickness."
 The big event is upon us.... the fall class that you have been waiting for will be on the 17th of this month @ Kiannaa Leighland's house where she has a larger conference/class room. I am very excited to be able to present this information to you. These classes are designed to help you achieve a better level of health and help optimize your internal organ functions to maintain a higher level of good health and longevity. Come discover a seasonal approach to cleansing the body using essential oils and other supplements. Learn how this unique approach to cleansing has helped relieve symptoms of chronic fatigue, lupus, allergies, fibromyalgia, overweight, constipation, candida
infertility, hormone imbalance, type II diabetes, arthritis, even many mental health concerns improve with colon care as well as other modern health conditions.
This presentation is FREE. You do not have to have your supplements to attend the class. Everyone is welcome to come learn how to restore life to your life!
Date: Saturday, 10/17/09
Time: 3:00pm
Location: 117 E. 38th Street
Vancouver, WA 98663
For those that are planning on taking the Seasonal Cleansing Class Part I and doing the Inner Transformational Cleansing, I suggest that you order your supplements now. I think the "out of stock" items are back and available and hopefully there will be enough for everyone that wants them to get them at Young Living . The first segment of this Seasonal Cleansing takes approximately two months for the average person. I have calculated out how much of each item that is needed for this two months. (keep in mind that some people will take a longer time to achieve their goal and others may take less than two months to achieve their goal.)
 Cleansing Trio Kit 2
ComforTone 2 *
ICP 4 *
* these are in addition to what is in the Cleansing Trio Kits.
Cleansing is probably the most important thing you can do for your health. This first stage of the inner transformational cleansing process begins with the colon, because if your elimination system has nowhere to dump toxins, you could become quite ill when cleansing the rest of the body's organs and systems.
"On my planet, we're all ponies, eat rainbows and poop butterflies." ~Horton Hears a Who
Please call or e-mail me if you are attending this course. Seating is limited to about 20 and I also want to make sure I have enough informational handouts for all in attendance.
 My summer was filled with busy hands. For those of you who like to get the holiday shopping list taken care of early, I have 10 hand knitted Christmas Stockings that can be customized with a name at the top of the sock by using the duplicate stitch. These are the old fashioned intarsia style knitted stockings made from a top quality wool blend (Lamb's Pride). The socks are approx. 20 inches in length and able to hold quite a lot of stuff. I always like how beautiful they are hanging off the fireplace mantle at Christmas time! They will last a life time if you hand wash and air dry. I am selling them for $75.00 each.
 I have 31 kitchen sets. These are hand made from 100% cotton and are machine washable and dryable. I have a variety of colors. The kitchen sets are priced at $18.00 each and consist of 2 double thick potholders and 2 dishcloths. These are the best ever kitchen sets you will ever find. Folks who get these from me always tell me they like them better than the kind you get at the stores....mine last a long, long time and can take lots of wear and tear.
 I also have 14 of the bath mitt and face cloth sets available too. These are also made from 100% cotton and are machine washable and dryable. You'll never want to use a regular terry cloth wash cloth again! This set has one bath mitt and one face cloth for $10.00 . A bar of my Lavender Therapy Soaps would be an excellent accompany gift for this bath set.
All these items make really nice holiday gifts. Stop by the Halsey Street location to choose the ones you want. None of these items are exactly alike. The designs in the Stockings are all different. The kitchen sets are all different colors as well as the bath sets.

Swine Flu and You
The CDC's web site has a list of things you should do to reduce your risk of contracting swine flu. These include washing your hands, covering your nose when you sneeze, etc.
What is astounding, though, is that our public health department doesn't give a single recommendation for ways to enhance your immunity and, thus, lower the risk of being infected.
While there are no pharmaceuticals that can boost anti-viral immunity, our own natural immunity is extremely effective at preventing infections. There are many nutrients that will specifically enhance anti-viral immunity. A few of those include:
Vitamin D
Vitamin C
Zinc
Garlic
Echinacea
Corydalis and Reishi mushrooms
Of course, when trying to optimize immune function it is always important to avoid sugar, stay well hydrated and get adequate sleep.
Drs. Eckel and Nigh recently posted a podcast on the topic of swine flu and the politics surrounding this latest media frenzy. Click here to listen.
Here are some other video sources to watch and articles to read :
Another Shocking Warning About Swine Flu Vaccine
A Very Important Question to Ask Before You Vaccinate
 I do wish to post a reminder here that if you are experiencing any cold or flu like symptoms a few days before or the day of your scheduled massage, please call me and let me know. I would very much prefer that you stay home and get well rather than exposing healthy people to the virus. Unless, of course you wish to request a Raindrop Treatment add-on to your massage! This is an excellent way to naturally boost your immune system for prevention of colds and flu. Raindrop Treatments have also been advantageous in helping to reduce symptoms and duration of colds and flu after you already catch them.
I will also be diffusing air purifying essential oils for all of our protection.
 I have no new additions this month to my sponsor partner list or to my favorite providers of other services list. Please visit my website and have a peek. However, I do hope you will patronize these most excellent service providers and while you are there, fill out a ticket for my monthly "Win a Massage Drawing". Every time you patronize my Sponsor Partners, you are eligible to enter another ticket for the monthly drawing. Good Luck. I hope you're one of the winners!
EVERY month at the end of each month I will draw one entry ticket from each Sponsor Partner facility. The winners of the drawings will be receiving a special e-mail with an attached certificate for a free massage.
Wishing you and all your loved ones continued good health and blessings in abundance.

(keep in mind that a massage therapist is NOT a physician. I am not qualified to diagnose or prescribe. I am however able to asses and provide self care suggestions and refer clients to specialists. So, with this in mind here we go...)
I'm not being lazy... This topic is so important that repeating it here for this month seemed like the right thing to do. I only wish to provide the information so that you can make informed decisions regarding your health and your family's health Pathology Insight: Common Sense Flu Prevention
There is so much scare-mongering going on in the mainstream media concerning the up-coming flu season. It is my intention to offer a practical view of how to take care of yourself and your family to minimize the possibility of exposing you and yours to this illness.
Many people contract Influenza every year. There is not an official "season" to catch this "bug". These germs are with us year round. What makes humans more susceptible in the winter time to get sick with the flu is that we have less sunshine (a drop in our vitamin D levels) and we are indoors and in close contact with other carriers (not outside as much, contact surfaces not kept clean).
I personally have never had a flu shot in my life. I have caught the flu twice. And from what I learned, my flu symptoms were far less debilitating than those that caught the flu AFTER taking the flu shot! It has been documented that those who develop antibodies from catching the flu naturally are way better health-wise in the long term scope of longevity than those that develop antibodies from the flu vaccine.
It is also fact that the elderly, the very young and those with already compromised immune systems are the people most likely to catch the flu. But it has also been documented that normal, healthy, strong children, teens and adults do sometimes catch the flu....
Here are some common sense tips that we hear EVERY year and I can think of no better advice today...
- Wash your hands. Keep them clean and away from your face.
- Cough or sneeze into your sleeve, not your hands if you do not have a tissue available.
- Avoid crowds if possible. When not possible, (as in airports and airplanes, hospitals, movie theatres, etc.) wear a disposable surgical mask)
- Keep your hands to yourself in and on public transportation facilities. (wear mask here too)
- Wipe down the surfaces of your work area with antimicrobial cloths DAILY (at the beginning of your day when you first arrive). This includes your computer keyboard, mouse, telephone(number pad as well as the hand set and the hand set cradle), door knob, chair arm rests, etc
- If allowable, use a diffuser in your office on low filled with an antimicrobial disinfectant that will keep your air pure and clean.
Children returning to school are being exposed to as much as 30X more germs. High schoolers up to 7x more than grade school kids....as each class is in a different room. Having your child be mindful of keeping their hands clean and away from their face and wiping down their desk before each class are good habits of prevention.
Eat healthy, wholesome foods. Stay away from the junk foods and fast foods. Increase your Vitamin D intake, decrease your white (cane) sugar intake. Stay hydrated. Dress accordingly for the weather. Layer clothing if uncertain.
Keep the home front clean and sanitary too. The bathroom, kitchen and common living areas especially.
Remember the SARS virus from 2003? As SARS is a coronavirus and closely related to the virus that causes flu and colds, it is recommended to blend (an aromatherapist can do this for you) the following essential oils:
Cymbopogon martini (palma rosa),
Ravensara aromatica,
Lavandula augustifolia,
Eucalyptus globulus.
Place a couple of drops on a handkerchief and inhale deeply every half an hour or so. This is particularly important when you are flying or in any crowded environment! --put a few drops on the inside of your mask and you are good to go with no worries.
Blend 5-6 drops into a spray bottle of water and spritz a few squirts onto a paper towel to use to wipe down surfaces that you are in constant contact at work. You may also use this formula in a diffuser (one that is not requiring a tea candle flame)
 An excellent pre-blended formula by the name of Thieves is perfect for prevention. It may be used in all of the above recommendations and you may also wear this as a perfume. One drop at the throat, over the laranyx 2 - 3 times each day is a constant way to keep your air and air-ways pure and clean and harmful microbial free.
Three Thousand years ago, essential oils were effective in the use of health care, they will be effective now, and for sure they will be effective far into the future.
It is becoming more and more important to take responsibility for our own health. Young Living Essential oils are therapeutic grade essential oils. Plants, Purity, Preparation & Potency is Young Living's "PROMISES" to you for wellness, purpose and abundance. Please visit Essentialeverydayoils.com to order your essential oils. You can get this ideal diffuser at this site too.  #4456 Ultrasonic Diffuser
