π A little something to support us in February
/And we have arrived at February...
I hope this email finds you safe, healthy and well π
Always, but especially given the current quality of time, I hope you feel supported by your communities, your callings and your networks of care.
Itβs always time for Love
However you care for yourself daily or in moments of high stress will have a cumulative impact on your vitality and sense of well-being. Not only that, it will help you respond appropriately when certain actions are called for ππΌ
There are numerous ways to care for yourself: a deep breath, a brief moment of stillness, a glass of water, a home-cooked meal, a good cry, a good scream, a good chat with a friend or a trusted professional.
The return of the Heart-Shaped Cupsπ
This month, in the spirit of levity, frivolity, self-care and good clean fun, I wanted to offer the return of the Heart-Shaped Cups π
For folks who are already a fan of Cupping, you know the health benefits of the modality: it works to release muscle tension patterns and provide pain relief.
The procedure of Cupping involves suction which creates space in the fascia, allowing the tissues to find freedom from stagnant tension patterns. It also intentionally breaks the superficial blood vessels - leaving marks - so that blood flow increases to local tissues. When you improve blood flow to local tissues, there is more oxygen and more nutrients available for any necessary repairs.
I have used Cupping throughout the years to help people get relief from musculoskeletal pain, migraine headaches, sinus congestion, asthma, and tension headaches. Cupping can also offer relief from emotional tension and stress.
This month, because we can, the Heart-Shaped Cups are coming off the shelves π So if youβve got your Cupping appointments on the books, just let me know if you would like to incorporate them into your treatment! π₯°
Luminous Rose πΉ at Ahimsa Wellness Collective β¨
I am delighted to announce that I am carrying a select line of Luminous Rose skincare products at the clinic for sale!
I stocked a few of my personal favorites:
the Deep Hydration Facial Tonic,
the Vitamin C Brightening Serum,
the Renew + Restore Face Cream,
the Gentle Face Cream,
the Glowing Skin Facial Toner,
the Acne Relief Gel,
the Nourishing Facial Cleanser,
AND the Green Tea Hydra Milk Mask.
Maria and I also collaborated on a Facial Cupping Oil which I have been using very much to the delight of my patients! It has the most subtle Red Mandarin scent and works really beautifully for Facial Cupping and Gua Sha.
Products are available in limited quantities and everything is available for sampling in the clinic. I have yet to see anyone leave in a full Green Tea Hydra Milk Mask but I would very much encourage it. :)
