Here's the affirmation for today. We are over halfway through this month. How are you feeling about this journey? Are you feeling more loving each day as you love your body a little bit more?

This month I am sharing one affirmation each day from Louise Hay's book, "Love Your Body".

In order to harness maximum benefit, the book suggests you read the affirmation 10 times, twice a day. Plus write the affirmation 10 times somewhere in the middle.

We're halfway through this month. How are you feeling about the different parts of you that we have given love to?

Let me know if there's an area you want to love extra and I'll share that affirmation for all of us.

Family isn’t just about bloodlines or shared history.

It’s about how it feels to be in someone’s presence.
Whether your guard can come down.
Whether you’re met with warmth instead of judgment.
Whether your nervous system softens instead of bracing.

Real family is built on safety.
On respect.
On people who make room for your truth without asking you to shrink or perform.

Sometimes those people share our DNA.
Sometimes they don’t.

But the ones who offer us steadiness, kindness, and a place to land —
those are the ones who become our home. ❤️

Most people underestimate walking because it feels too simple…but inside your body it’s doing the exact things people try to hack with extreme diets and workouts.

When you aim for about 7–10k steps a day, every step activates hundreds of muscles, especially your legs and glutes. Those muscles pull sugar out of your bloodstream without needing extra insulin…meaning you’re lowering blood sugar just by moving.

At the same time:
👉 Your body starts burning stored fat for fuel
👉 Inflammation drains through the lymphatic system
👉 Cortisol drops, so cravings and belly fat storage go down
👉 Mitochondria increase, so you naturally burn more calories at rest

Now here’s where it gets powerful…

After about 6 months of consistent daily walking:
✅ Insulin sensitivity can improve up to 40%
✅ Your metabolism rises even when you’re sitting still
✅ Your body becomes better at switching between burning carbs and fat
✅ Hunger stabilizes because hormones regulate themselves

In other words…weight loss stops feeling like a constant fight.

Walking isn’t just “light exercise.”
It teaches your body how to function normally again.

It has been said that someone will develop Alzheimer’s disease every 66 seconds in the United States. When you combine the other forms of dementia, the global prevalence is every 3 seconds!

One theme that is central to most research studies is that brain health is rapidly declining across the board, and taking simple preventative measures is paramount.

But what about when dementia settles in? Is there anything that can be done to slow or reverse its progress? And, if so, are there natural solutions?

The quick answer is, “Yes,” and one of the hidden secrets you won’t hear much about at your doctor’s office is the power of essential oil therapy.

Our Story

Veteran Owned & Operated! Here at Body & Mind Therapeutic Oasis the goal is to help the client find a balance that benefits both their body and their mind. I utilize the Cayce/Reilly Holistic Massage technique which is a combination of the multiple practices to help the body heal, repair, renew, and return to its natural state of homeostasis. This is my foundation. I integrate myofascial release, deep tissue massage, acupressure, and trigger point therapy, as needed, to individualize each therapeutic session based on the clients needs and goals. Additionally, I am a certified practitioner in Reiki (which I can integrate in a bodywork session or offer on its own), Basic Acupressure, and Reflexology.
