Pregnancy involves a lot of change for a mom-to-be. Along with the excitement of having a baby, it can be a stressful time with various health and body shifts that can cause fatigue, mood changes, and aches and pains. Prenatal massage performed by a highly trained and experienced registered massage therapist is a safe and relaxing way to treat yourself during your pregnancy. Massage can help manage blood pressure; reduce headaches, backaches, and other body pain; help with proper posture; aid in getting better sleep; and decrease fluid retention that can cause swelling, digestive issues, and sinus pain during pregnancy.
Residential Care for a Loved One
It is hard to watch the health of your loved one decline. Making the decision to let someone else take over their care is often difficult. It is recommended that you begin the search for a care home before a crisis makes it necessary. Unfortunately, sometimes a medical emergency like a fall, takes the decision from your hands. Look for a place where they deliver genuine care and help residents to live life to its fullest and where they can feel at home. Exercising due diligence when choosing a home will pay off with a lot of peace of mind knowing that your loved one’s physical and medical challenges are met.
Healing with Reiki
Reiki Healing is effective on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. The very nature of Reiki Energy is such that it can do no harm. It is not good or bad energy. It is simply the energy of life. Reiki works by clearing and charging pathways within the body, bringing balance, and allowing life force to flow in a healing and natural way.
Reiki is not a replacement for medical treatment, but for many, it helps relieve pain and discomfort and has been shown to speed treatments and healing for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual conditions.
Ask The Expert
Q. How can I succeed with my new hearing aids?
A. Be patient and positive. Hearing loss usually happens over several years so getting used to hearing aids won’t happen overnight. Wear your hearing aids every day. Try wearing your hearing aids 8-10 hours/day. Remember, you’re training your brain to hear sound again. Follow up appointments. See your hearing care professional 1-2 weeks after receiving your new hearing aids. Settings may need to be fine-tuned as you go through your trial period. Have realistic expectations. Remember, hearing aids will help you hear better, but they may not be able to help you hear perfectly.
