Or home?

So often, so many of us do TOO much, and when we do – our bodies(and emotional well being) suffer.

Give your body some attention!

Get some bodywork, and GET A MASSAGE.

How to Strengthen (Not Strain) a Muscle

Posted on by

Hello Dear One!

OK!  Have you ever wished to create more strength in a muscle that already felt healthy?

Or one that indicated it needed strength by it feeling SORE and TIGHT all the time?

(If there is any confusion if a muscle is appropriate to be strengthened – please send me a direct message, or be in touch with your MD if concerned.)

Well if you’ve been unclear as to what is too much and what’s not enough the feeling of STRESS, but NOT PAIN is what will steer you correctly.

Watch on to get a slightly stronger handle (ha) on this concept if needed.

Working Out When Sick  (Should you do it?)

Posted on by

Hello Darling One!

Ok!  This great debate comes up OFTEN, but truth be told the end I typically hear does NOT involve additional evaluation and instead blind acceptance.

The fact is that NOTHING is really black and white, and so depending on a variety of circumstances something can be a great idea or NOT.

Please watch this short video to get a sense of WHAT you should do and WHEN.

Give it a gander if you’re in need of some, relaxation, rebalancing and full being restoration.
