Stressing over the Fall Chill?

With the falling of the leaves comes the change of seasons! It also is time for a change for me and my business...I will be moving into my Eden Prairie location at 10360 West 70th St, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 exclusively, beginning on Nov 1st. I will continue to see clients in my St Louis Park location until Tues, Oct 25th.

Fall brings a change to the weather and also to people's spirits and attitudes. While it's been absolutely beautiful outside, it means that winter is on its way. I received an email this weekend talking about how the change into darker, colder days can mean that many people fall into feeling less energized, less motivated and even depressed. Now is the time to nip that attitude in the bud!

Massage helps relieve pain and eases tension. It also can help improve circulation, reduce stress and enhance your mood. Pamper yourself this fall (or give the gift of massage to someone you care about) by getting a massage. By stimulating the brain and the body, massage rids your body of distractions and helps you get in tune with both physical and emotional feelings, regenerating sapped power reserves to give you energy for the rest of the day.

So don't stress over the fall chill, but embrace the change and be sure to take time to care for yourself. Massage is a great way to take time for yourself and help minimize stress-related illnesses that can creep up this time of year. See how Frequent Massage Therapy Can Reduce the Dangers Of Stress. Having a massage puts the focus on you and the present, taking it from problems and the past or future.

Settling In to MN

Well, it's only been a few months that I've been here in MN. This winter is proving to me that I do still have some Midwest blood in me. After surviving the snowiest Dec on record (without any driving issues!), I can say I am now surviving the bitter cold. With a temperature of -15, and wind chills hovering between -25 and -30 today, I'd say I'm handling this winter pretty well. Granted, I don't like it much, but the sun is making things a whole lot better!

Thanks to all who came out to experience the free introductory 30 minute sessions I offered for the first 3 weeks of January! It was great getting to meet so many of you this month, and even better to have received feedback that I provided relief to the aches and pains that you were looking for.

Is It Time to Relax?

Summer is coming to an end as the kids go back to school here in Atlanta. What is top on your list of things to do once you have some "me-time" again? When is the last time you actually relaxed? Let me guess...is it those 5 minutes you have just before you fall asleep each night?

A little stress in your life is good. But chronic stress can cause a host of problems including health problems. This article goes into detail on stress...
Understanding Stress: Signs, Symptoms, Causes, and Effects

Managing stress is a different recipe for each person. You have to find what works best for you. Many people find massage is a great way to relax and lower their stress levels. A massage can help even the most stressed out, frazzled person feel a little more like them self.

With a Craniosacral Therapeutic Massage, you can have your entire body "worked" by just having a scalp massage. Don't worry...the hair won't be messed up! Small, gentle movements are made on the bones of the head and face that help free up restrictions in the entire body! In addition to the somatic or body benefits, the relaxation of this type of work is just what the Doctor ordered. It is so relaxing, many of my clients fall asleep during this work. Here is an article with more info on Craniosacral Therapy.
