Holiday hours 🎄 We’ll be closed Dec 24–Jan 1 and back open Jan 2. Wishing you a joyful holiday season!
Your body has its own ways of regulating stress.
Somatic shaking is one of them — a gentle, natural response that can help release stored tension and signal safety to the nervous system.
Listen to your body. Go slow.
❄️ Winter Solstice • Dec 21 ❄️
The shortest day and longest night of the year—a turning point in time. Celebrated for thousands of years by cultures around the world, especially farming societies, to track the seasons and welcome the sun’s return and the slow lengthening of days—symbolizing rest, renewal, and hope 🌙✨
Wellness Wednesday comfort in a bowl 🥣✨
This nourishing, anti-inflammatory soup is courtesy of our very own massage therapist, Sophie. Packed with warming spices, veggies, and a little coconut milk magic—perfect for slowing down and fueling up. 💆♀️🌿
Slowing things way down so the body can soften and the mind can exhale 🤍
This mini yin yoga flow is an invitation to pause, settle into stillness, and gently release tension held deep in the body. Long holds, mindful breathing, and space to simply be.
✨ Follow along at your own pace — pause the video in each pose and stay anywhere from 1 to 6 minutes, depending on what your body needs today. Yin is about listening, not pushing.
Perfect for grounding your nervous system, unwinding after a long day, or reconnecting with yourself when life feels loud.
Save this flow for later 🌙
Follow for more slow, nourishing practices & drop a 🤍 if this kind of movement speaks to you.
Your body’s quiet clean-up crew 🧹💚
The lymphatic system helps fight infections, balance fluids, and transport immune cells—keeping everything flowing smoothly (without a pump!) 💪✨
From lymph nodes to the spleen, it’s all about defense, drainage, and detox.
Don’t forget to move, breathe, and stretch to keep your lymph flowing 🌿🫁

So much healing depends on whether the nervous system feels safe. When the body enters rest-and-digest, it can finally focus on digestion, nutrient absorption, immune support, and cellular repair. This Reiki session gently signals the body to slow down, soften, and shift into that healing state. It’s less about ‘doing’ and more about giving your system the space it needs to reset, recover, and restore from within.
Jumping for lymph flow! 💦🌀
Whether it’s jump rope or simple hops, this up-and-down movement acts like a natural pump for your lymphatic system—helping circulation, energy, and overall vitality.
You don’t need long workouts. Even 1–2 minutes of gentle bouncing can wake up your lymph and get things moving.
Jump rope = stronger, more intense lymph activation
Simple jumps = easy, accessible, low-time commitment
Move your body → move your lymph.
Your system loves consistent, gentle bouncing. 💙

Feeling drained but not sure why? The answer might be hidden in the 7 types of rest: physical, mental, emotional, sensory, creative, social, and spiritual. Resting smarter, not just harder, helps restore balance to your whole self.
Winter invites us to slow down, soften, and support our nervous system.
One simple way to do that? 30–60 seconds of cold water. ❄️
After the initial shock, your vagus nerve kicks in—helping your heart rate settle and shifting you into a parasympathetic state (your calm zone).
Try it as a face splash or the end of your shower.
A tiny winter ritual for a grounded week. 🤍

Wellness Wednesday: Your Stress Shows Up in Your Stomach
Ever notice your digestion acts up when life gets overwhelming?
That’s because your nervous system and your gut are deeply connected.
When stress rises, your body shifts into fight-or-flight, slowing digestion, increasing sensitivity, and making existing stomach irritation feel much worse.
The good news?
Supporting your nervous system can help your body handle stress more effectively — and that includes how your gut feels day to day.
At our office, we focus on gentle, restorative care that helps:
• Reduce tension
• Improve mobility
• Support a calmer, more balanced nervous system
• Boost overall stress resilience
Pair that with simple habits like breathwork, regular meals, movement, and good sleep — and your stomach will thank you. 💛
✨ Ready to support your nervous system and feel your best?

This November our office is focused on gut health 🌿
A healthy gut depends on more than just what we eat — it’s also about how well our body can detoxify and eliminate waste.
Ionic foot soaks use gentle energy currents to help pull impurities from the body through the feet, supporting circulation and the systems that keep digestion and detox in harmony.
When we support the body’s natural cleansing pathways, our gut, energy, and overall wellness can all benefit.
