'TIS THE SEASON
Holidays really seemed to sneak up on us this year, didn't they? But here we are at the end of November already. Temperatures have been mild so far, but it's never too early to start thinking about winter care for your body.
I spent April – October of this year in an herbal medicine apprenticeship, studying with a pair of massage therapists and herbalists for whom wellness is a way of life. It was an amazing experience and truly inspiring to learn from teachers who have such passion for the plants and the medicine they bring. Having completed my apprenticeship, I'm now beginning to create custom teas and tinctures for clients for a variety of issues from general immune and women's tonics to remedies for symptoms of colds and flu, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, digestive issues, and more.
I'm looking forward to incorporating more hand-crafted herbal products and services into my practice in the coming year.
GIFT CERTIFICATES
Massage makes a perfect gift, and a package of massage sessions is a gift they'll look forward to long after the holiday has passed. Presented in a lovely gift-box envelope. Can be mailed directly to you or recipient.
MASSAGE PACKAGES
As a thank you to those who aim to make massage therapy a regular part of their lives, I'm continuing to offer package discounts. Buy any 5 services, and receive a 6th session free. Please add $25 to each package for Manhattan appointments.
HOT STONE THERAPY
Cold weather is the perfect time to experience warmth to the core with hot stone massage. Pressure is increased and muscle relaxation is encouraged when the body is massaged with a combination of hand pressure and hot basalt rocks.

FOCUSING ON WELLNESS
It's easy to get distracted by life and forget about taking care of ourselves. It's something I see in my clients – and, unfortunately, myself. We're always rallying against not enough time or not enough money or not enough focus. Instead of waiting until the New Year for a resolution, I'm making an effort to start focusing on wellness now. Planning a healthy meal before I'm starving, using remedies to avoid sickness rather than just react to it, resting before I'm exhausted, taking care of my body before it hurts.
I hope this serves as a reminder to be good to yourselves this holiday season, and into the coming year!
Be well,
