" Canaries in the coal mine" is  a reference to how coal miners would use birds to see if the air was safe in the mines as they react more quickly to polluted air--often resulting in dead birds! Many of us humans call ourselves "canaries' as we react quickly to toxins in our environment that many o...

Greetings and Happy Earth Day! I am now fully vaccinated (I had my second vaccine shot on April 8) and my husband is also fully vaccinated. I have also had Covid—so I should have plenty of antibodies now! I know many clients were waiting until vaccines were available in order to feel safer returning for acupressure and massage therapy. I will, of course, still be following scientific guidelines such as masks to be worn by me and the client. I have always been a bit of a “clean freak” but did amp up my cleaning with the pandemic. All surfaces that are touched are sanitized after every client, and I am allowing more time between appointments so I can open the window and air out the room. I am not offering water after the session like I used to—so please remember to drink plenty of water and herbal teas after your session to stay hydrated! I will continue the same policy I started at the beginning of this in regards to cancellations—if you feel the least bit sick or you have possibly been exposed to Covid, you can call and cancel even at the last minute and there will be no cancellation fee. I also ask that if you have stopped anyplace before arriving for your appointment (such as shopping) then make a stop in my kitchen or bathroom to thoroughly wash your hands(or if you forgot to do so before leaving home). Hand sanitizer is better than nothing but soap and water is the best!
I had raised my fees the year before the pandemic hit, so won’t be raising them again anytime soon. My prices are: $65.00 for an hour session, $75 for 1 ¼ session, $85 for 1 ½ sessions and $35 for a ½ hour session. If you have been adversely affected financially by the pandemic—you can take $5 off for paying in cash. Also let me know if you are truly struggling but need sessions and we can discuss different discount or payment options.

A note on Holistic health: As a holistic practitioner I go by the original meaning of holistic, which is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. For health this means considering the body, mind and spirit are one, and that we as individuals are connected to other people and to the environment. It does NOT mean eschewing modern medicine. All medical and health decisions must be made by balancing the risks vs. benefit for any procedure, medication or natural healing methods. I chose to have the vaccine mainly because it offers protection to those who I am in contact with in order to protect them (even more than I am doing it to protect myself). So many people have died or are suffering long term effects from having Covid infection that it is irresponsible in my opinion to not get the vaccine—for most people. There are of course always people who should be exempt from the vaccine because of serious health issues—in that case it is even more vital that they practice safe measures such as mask wearing and social distancing at all times –not just when coming for an appointment!
I also know that herbs and acupressure can be very useful for helping with the symptoms associated with Covid. I am sure that I made it through having Covid without any serious issues because of my use of herbal medicine and doing acupressure on myself, and doing Qigong when I had enough energy to do so. Reducing stress is a big factor for helping your immune system function well and acupressure and massage are excellent for doing that!
I hope to see you soon!
