Greetings!
Even as the weather is so SNOWY, cold and dreary, some bright parts of spring are arriving. A client brought a beautiful pot of mini-daffodils today. Their bright warm yellow is certainly cheering. We are also quite excited to welcome two new therapists to Alchemy.
 Lynne Brummitt, MA, LMT, is a seasoned massage therapist with fifteen years of experience. She is also a professor and the Coordinator of Anne Arundel Community College's Therapeutic Massage program. In addition to being well qualified in Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, Lynne is also certified in Reflexology, and is taking Orthopedic Massage training, she happily integrates all of these modalities into her sessions. Learn more about Lynne and schedule here.
Shelby Smith, LMT is a second generation massage therapist who graduated from AACC in 2011. She is a bright and cheerful person with a big heart. While Shelby is quite able and happy to focus on stress reduction and relaxation, she often finds that she cannot resist working a bit deeper on the spots that need attention. She has great intuition and combines good skills with good touch. In addition to Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, Shelby also brings Hot Stone Therapy to Alchemy. Learn more about Shelby and schedule here.
We also bring you a thought provoking essay from Spain - thanks to Mia, as well as news about Laura and Amelia's recent certification in Lymphedema treatment and education.
As always, thank you for your interest. Please read on,
Amelia Mitchell, LMT
Laura Inman Mitchell, LMT

A Different Point of View
I have now lived in Madrid, Spain for four months, and it seems so much longer. As my husband says, there is the Romance of living in Europe and then there is the reality of it. I find that I miss my family, my friends, speaking English, and I missed the opening of Alchemy Healing Arts Center. Sitting in front of my computer in my old job back in Maryland, I spent a lot of time fantasizing about getting out from behind a desk and back into massage full time. I surprised myself by such a quick and dramatic manifestation of my thoughts. I suppose I should have been more specific in what I was asking for and imagined making such a shift within the state of Maryland.
But that particular episode also showed me how much time I have spent over the last
Great News! Mia will be in the states, and seeing clients on Tuesday May 21st,Thursday May 23th and Saturday June 8th, you can book online to schedule a session with her.

Lymphedema Treatment and Education
 | Amelia and Laura with
instructor Renee Romero, RN |
Laura Inman Mitchell and Amelia Mitchell recently received the news that they had met all of the requirements and we are proud to announce that they
are now certified in Lymphedema treatment and education. Thus, they will begin sporting some additional letters after their names: LLCC.
Complex Decongestive Therapy is the treatment for Lymphedema. It includes Lymph Drainage Therapy, compression and bandaging, education, and exercise.
At Alchemy, while we can provide the complete therapy, our focus is working with people who have mild Lymphedema or who are at risk of developing the disease. Although there are a number of ways that it can manifest, what we see the most in Annapolis are women who have lost lymph nodes during surgery for breast cancer. In this situation a woman will be at risk of developing Lymphedema for the rest of her life. As certified therapists, even if we are simply providing massage, we can do it in a way that protects the body and does not increase risk. We also welcome the opportunity to provide the education and work directly using Lymph Drainage Therapy with those who are effected.
Amelia and Laura are compassionate, informed, and well trained therapists, they have direct experience of this disease, and are happy to consult and discuss treatment options. If you, or someone you care about is living with Lymphedema or is at risk, please make a connection with Amelia or Laura.

Our individual practices have grown over the years, and we simply needed more space. Owners Laura and Amelia are looking forward to welcoming more highly skilled therapists in a variety of specialties to our practice, offering additional pathways to your health and wellness.
Our New Name: Alchemy Healing Arts Center
With this expansion, we have taken on a name that embraces our vision and goals for the center. We have illustrated this with our tree logo, drawn especially for us by a talented artist in England. Our tree has roots, is grounded and connected to both the earth as well as up to the heavens. Then owl showed up with all its wisdom.
We deeply appreciate your support, whether you are new to us or a long term client and friend. Please share our news, our new website and location with the people in your world who might be interested. We will celebrate later this year with an Open House and other events.
