Autumn Newsletter - https://mailchi.mp/888cc687a4d6/autumn-newsletter

It feels like autumn has arrived. Some people notice that they dont adapt to the change in season as well as they used to or they struggle with the cloudy, damp weather that fall brings. Take care to keep your toes dry, your neck protected from wind and rain, and take advantage of the vegetables being harvested right now and integrate them into the diet. If you need a little something extra, a great way to ease the transition is with a little self-care: herbal medicine, reflexology, and acupuncture are all great ways to treat body and mind. #autumnrain #selfcare #herbalmedicine #reflexology #acupuncture #changeinseason

Need some post-weekend summer self-care? There are still some spots for massage, acupuncture, or herbal medicine tomorrow. Call or book online (www.vcaspa.com).
