Sharing Time and Holiday Memories

The holiday season often brings about the feeling of “home” and family traditions. Many activities can be enjoyed by everyone in the family. The holidays provide an opportunity to reminisce about special ornaments acquired over the years and decorations that have been part of many special occasions. It is a perfect time to bring out old photo albums so that you can re-live past gatherings through pictures. Sing along with traditional and modern holiday favourites is always a crowd pleaser. The gift of time is the most thoughtful present you can give! Spending time with family and friends is priceless.

Balance Hormones with an Endocrine Massage

An endocrine massage is a very relaxing soft touch massage using Young Living essential oils and crystals. We absorb so much stress from the world into our endocrine system. This stress can unbalance the body and deplete our energy centers leading to Adrenal burnout. Through the use of Young Living essential oils, we help cleanse the endocrine system and balance the body’s hormones. Crystals are used to balance the chakras in the body which run along the same paths as the endocrine glands. An endocrine massage helps to realign the energy centers in the body.
