Full Circle Wellness

Hi friends! I just wanted to let you know that I have the kind of strange problem of being completely booked and not being able to accept new clients at this time. If you or a friend are interested in receiving some therapeutic bodywork, let me know and I can refer you out to some incredible practitioners in the area

Hello friends! I just wanted to let you know that I am taking the next 5 weeks completely off. Not only due to the rate of COVID cases in Johnson County, but also some much-needed time off and some immune issues. That being said, starting mid-January, I'll be available distance Reiki/sound healing sessions. They are super cozy, and in the comfort of your own bed :) Sending all my love out to you, and please know how much I miss seeing your faces regularly! Have a safe and healthy holiday

Hi Friends! I am taking a quick 3 question survey of my clients (or those who would like to be). If you already received this in your inbox and filled it out, no worries! if you haven't, i'd greatly appreciate your feedback on my tentative reopening. THANK YOU!!

I'd love to hear how you are feeling and how you would like to proceed with your wellness routine

This is fascinating (and unsurprising)...70% of your immune system lives in your gut...the more diverse gut flora, the overall healthier you are as a human being, and the more you an ward off the icky bugs. Common fermented foods here in the U.S. you can easily find at the grocery store are: yogurts, kefir, traditional saurkraut, miso, kimchi, and veggies/pickles.

PRO TIP (and if you'd like instructions on how to make your own, i'll find some!) but with all of the produce of the summer, it is SO EASY to make your own fermented veggies. if you have 1) a big jar 2) water that's been boiled 3) salt, you have everything you need to ferment your own within 24-48 hours. nature is so cool.

An intriguing new study by researchers in Europe suggests that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mortality rates are likely to be lower in countries where diets are rich in fermented vegetables.

Dear clients. First of all, I miss you. Second, you might have heard the state is re-opening, and that includes massage therapists, if they feel comfortable in doing so. At this point, I do not. :(
We are taking steps to ensure our office has the right protocols for safety in place, but I myself will be starting a medicine in early June which will make me severly immuno-compromised/suppressed for at least a month, if not longer. I'm estimating sometime in mid-late July to be the earliest I'm contemplating a reopening. Please know that I appreciate you, and miss you, and when we might be able to see eachother again might be a bit different, I can't wait for that day.

As of today, the Governor of Iowa has said that massage studios like mine could (possibly) re-open mid-May. I honestly think that is too soon for Johnson county, but please know I'm keeping a very close eye on the news and our collective health and safety is my highest priority...will keep you updated! and I am sending you a huge *virtual* hug and hope you are well

I've asked myself this question regularly this past month. Good information that's validating, and helpful. At the end of the piece, there's an encouragement to find a 'word' to focus on. my word (so far) has been 'Surrender' but im also leaning to this idea of 'grace'.

    For the last two weeks I have heard one question more than any other. Whether clients, friends, or family members, over and over again I have heard asked some version of the same question: “why am I so tired?” This question is usually prefaced by the perceived lack of energy each person fe...

Dear ones: I am now offering (Distance) 30 min Reiki and Sound Healing sessions. Let me know if you'd like to try this, or feel like this can support you at this time (typically, my evenings are open and available and portions of the weekend as well). Flexible payment options are available, as I know how COVID is also affecting people's incomes

Really good list of things to think about for strengthening your body and removing stressors right now, so your immune system can be strong:
