Most of us are probably aware of the impacts of distress, which is the type of stress that leads to feelings of anxiety and overwhelm and often requires coping mechanisms to manage. Eustress is the type of stress that pushes us to pursue something we are passionate about and inspires us to grow and strive toward our goals. How we view our stressors can determine their impact on our health. Disclaimer: There are some negative stressors that even the most optimistic mental gymnasts can’t turn from negative to positive. Yet it’s a great cue to use when looking at managing the stress in your life.

We want to change the perceptions of aging. We believe that getting older doesn’t have to feel sad or helpless; instead, aging is something worth celebrating. As Atul Gawande wrote in his book, Being Mortal, “Our ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death but a good life to the very end”. Through our principles of Choice, Belonging, Respect, Autonomy and Purpose, we live Happier Aging. Happier Aging, at home, is our philosophy of care: for our clients, their families, our people and everyone we meet.

Regular cleanings are extra important for everyone to maintain the foundation around their teeth as well as maintain the health of the enamel. Reach out to us today.

“I’m stretching, but nothing is getting any looser!” Sound familiar? Sometimes, the problem isn’t tight tissues but rather an adhesion in the tissues. Nerves don’t like to be stretched! So, if you have an adhesion and you try to stretch it out, what will happen is the body will tighten up even more to try to protect the stuck spot. You need to undo the knot before you can pull on the strings! That’s where Rolfing SI comes in: Rolfing is an excellent way of removing those adhesions (knots) in your tissues.

Biofield Tuning is a sound therapy method that uses the frequency produced by tuning forks for targeted nervous system relaxation. Biofield tuning helps to alleviate a wide range of energetic, emotional, and physical issues. It is effective for anxiety & depression, energy renewal, fear & grief, adrenal fatigue, and more. Working on your body and in the area around your body, your biofield, I use the steady, coherent vibrational frequency of a tuning fork to assist your body to “tune” itself by relaxing, softening, settling, and releasing tension.
