Thought I’d share as we head into vacation season: actual science on the psychological benefits of vacation. (Who knew ☺️) Spoiler alert: plan often - the act of planning a vacation spikes dopamine. For best results, plan a minimum 4 days, but benefits peak at 8. You return to baseline about a week after you get back. Therefore, plan often, go often!!

Scientists studied what actually happens to your happiness before, during, and after a holiday. The answer has a minimum, a maximum and most of us are ignori...

Also, I always respect my client's comfort levels - if you don't want me to touch your abdomen, I won't (even if I think it might help).
