 You've heard me suggest drinking extra water after your session, but do you know why your body needs Hydration?
I may make an extra suggestion during your session that your body (usually the skin) is telling me you’re not hydrated enough? Keeping hydrated is a major keynote in getting your body to give you it’s best! Especially while venturing into the great outdoors through the summer months.

 The Hips allow for a lot of range of motion for our legs The Hips are amazing ball joints created through the union of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia of the upper leg and pelvis. A major weight bearing joint for the body, the Hip allows for great range of motion for our legs, when we look after it. The Neck. Neck pain is one of the most common complaints that clients come in to see me for. It's such an amazing, flexible part of the body but when it hurts...OUCH!
 Do you ever find yourself holding your breath, without really realizing it? You may be brought to realize it when your body, desperate for more oxygen, forces a sudden and deep breath. Unfortunately you've just triggered your Nervous System into survival mode. Your body needs to breathe!
So does your mind. What is considered healthy, or not, seems to be linked to fads that come and go. I've watched through the years as clients have embraced different ideas and diets based on what is current, only to spiral when they haven't worked. Alternatively, I have seen those clients who take the time to tune in to and listen to their bodies, and what "feels best for them", experience the most success with lifestyle changes. They are also the happiest and most content people that I know.
From a Massage Therapy or holistic therapy point of view bloating is seen as a symptom of something happening in the body. For example: a symptom of PMS and Menopause may include bloating, indigestion or inflammation in the colon may produce bloating. Regardless of the reason for the symptom, holistic health looks at the whole picture and works to reduce bloating through addressing the cause, while also reducing the discomfort that bloating can bring.
 One of my passions is gardening! I begin as soon as the weather is slightly warmer and keep going through to the first frost. Using all of those muscles definitely takes some extra selfcare! Some of the selfcare I practice, so that body pain doesn't grow, the garden does, include:
Following are some other helpful tips so that you enjoy your gardening season
 Through 30+ years of practice in Massage Therapy and other holistic modalities I have specialized in holistic therapies for women's health. Not that it was intended, my practice has just evolved that way. Throughout the life of a woman she faces a myriad of physical, emotional and hormonal changes. (and no, this is not to say that men don’t as well). I've watched those changes over the years in my practice and am always in awe, not only in how each woman's individual body deals with them, but the strength each woman has in resolving emotional and physical challenges.  A client, brand new to Reiki, shared the thought that the secret to Reiki was the time out from the world. That very rarely in this day and age do we take the time to completely remove ourselves, physically and emotionally, from having to be or do. That when we do take that time, even just for 30 to 40 minutes (or longer), that the quality of rest is so profound that the body and mind feel as though they have had 8 hours of sleep.  Holistic Sessions & Your Heart
Holistic Health sessions such as Craniosacral Therapy, Massage, Reflexology and Reiki are beneficial to your heart health in a variety of ways. They often reset the body, mind and spirit to a space of more harmonious physical and emotional balance. Each modality contributes in its own way. REIKI is an ancient Japanese healing technique that works with your energy or, universal life force. This beautiful modality focuses on harmonizing and balancing your Mindy, Body & Spirit. Reiki is equivalent to allowing unconditional love to flow through you, and I'm not sure what else could be healthier for your heart than that. |
