Hey, it's been a great summer & it's been awhile, so I am just dropping in to say hello and to let you, know I appreciate you all as my clients & students and your health and wellness is my top priority at the clinic. I have updated my training for Craniosacral Therapy and am loving the results I am seeing. Craniosacral is a very gentle hands on technique that evaluates and enhances the craniosacral system which is comprised of the membranes and the cerebrospinal fluid that s...urround and protect the brain and spinal cord. CST uses a soft touch to evaluate and release restrictions and improve the functions of the centeral nervous system. CST can help with: migraines, headaches, chronic neck and back pain, tinnitus, dizziness, traumatic brain injury, chronic fatigue, memory issues, TMJ and mouth issues from accidents or dental work, neurological pain and issues, scoliosis, mouth and jaw problems, any neurological pain or disorders, Autism, Epilepsy and much more. CST is also great for babies and children and can help with: colic, constipation, sleep disorders, acid reflux, ADD/ADHD, learning difficulties, Down Syndrome. I have also implemented a 90 Wellness Challenge that helps you set a goal such as losing weight, more energy, getting healthier, better eating, quit smoking, no matter how small or big your wellness goal is, I will help you along this challenge to make sure you achieve it. We can discuss supplements, healthy eating habbits, exercise and what best suits you to achieve your goals. Yoga is still going on at the clinic in Riceville. We have been doing yoga for years now and have a great group and lots of fun. Classes are Wednesdays from 7-8:15, please bring your own mat, block or what ever you need for a great class. The end of the year is wrapping up and many still have unused benefits. You pay into your benefits, so you should take advantage of that and use them up. In my opinion our health should be at the top of our list, as if our health goes, life can lose its zest and correcting is much harder than preventing and living a healthy lifestyle. I encourage my clients to invest in their health in what ever way they can to maintain a healthy, happy and active lifestyle. With Christmas just around the corner massage and wellness treatments are always a great gift for those you love and those who are hard to buy for, everyone loves massage. Gift certificates are available at the clinic and I would love to offer my services to your loved ones. Visit my website at: ingoodhandsmassage.ca for services, hours, pricing, information and to book your wellness treatment. Have a great day & I look forward to seeing you soon. See more

Years ago in the U.S. orphaned babies were dying due to bottles being propted up & no touch, where is in Mexico in a very poor area the babies were thriving as each one was assigned a "momma"! A smile, gentle touch, a hug and kind words are so powerful & healing, don't under estimate something that may seem so simple! You have the power to lift someone up, brighten their day and give them the feeling that they are noticed & loved! I am so fortunate to be a Massage Therapist & Yoga Teacher, to be able to help facilitate healing in others. One of the best gifts is to give of yourself. In giving, we receive, we heal! How lucky am I!

I would like to say thanks to all my yoga students & everyone who has been donating clothes to me, so that I can donate them to clothes4souls, which distributes them to people who don`t have clothes or shoes! When the time is right I will travel with this organization to be a part of this. How lucky are we! Imagine not having clothes! We take so much for granted. I give thanks & gratitude for all I have & won`t ever stop helping how I can to make a difference in someones life! Even something like a pair of shoes can be life changing. Our good deeds don`t have to be huge, sometimes small things are the huge things <3 If you have some to donate, please let me know & THANKS!

Everytime we meet & talk to someone we can lift them up or bring them down. We can motivate, encourage and show love or we can be judgemental, critical and negative. Who are you when you meet people? Be careful with your thoughts, words & actions! I encourage you to be kind with yourself and the 60,000 thoughts you have each day. May your thoughts, words and actions come from love & raise yourself & others up! Prema & abhasa!
