Thank you to Alex at Bliss for providing a fun night for our crew. It was tough to find time for everyone to get together for a long dinner and gift exchange. We ended up settling for a drink together. “I had the new mushroom cocktail” it was great!” Our one drink together with time restraints ended up being 2 1/2 hours of us chatting. Great to reminisce about the year together. All the challenges of running a small business. But the love we have for each other and our community is truly special!

It’s amazing working with people who all have the same goals. To keep building this community and provide a safe space where you can separate and focus on yourself getting healthy and stronger in multiple different ways! We will always be learning and improving our services. We will just keep getting better. And our love for our community and all the things we enjoy doing will continue to grow. That’s why this place is different.

72% of self-employed people say their biggest regret is not taking bigger risks earlier.

Why?

Because comfort tricked them into playing small.

Comfort costs more than failure ever will.

Get to have a little reflection since I feel I’m out of the woods and feeling good. Last Monday when the parking lot was full of snow and ice at 5:45 am I went to this garage door to grab a shovel and salt. Half awake thinking my fingers were on the garage handle and looking down making sure I wouldn’t slip. I realized my fingers were actually in the fold when I slammed the door shut. The garage door is actually dented where my fingers were sitting! With the door completed shut and my fingers wedged in between I let out my very best Daniel Stern in Home Alone scream. Very much like when the tarantula was set on his face.

Massage therapy is my main source of income and this is my strongest hand so I knew immediately how devastating this could be for the business and my family. I blocked off the rest of the day but did manage to work on one client for 30 minutes to try to help him with some back pain before going to get a x ray. X rays were negative but the fingers were swollen and lacking strength. So Monday I did red light therapy and the sauna just to promote healing and get as much blood pumping as I could.

Tuesday ran on the treadmill and red light therapy with almost 4 hours of massage booked. Fingers weren’t nearly as swollen and already was feeling better. I was still able get as deep as I needed to for effective deep tissue.

Wednesday 4 hours of massage booked and did red light therapy and Suana . Fingers were sore but strength was coming back.

Thursday treadmill, yoga, then had the client from Monday come back because I had the strength to do what I needed to do relieve the back pain.

Friday 5 hours of massage booked, Red light therapy sauna, and had very little discomfort and had very little issues with my grip strength.

Saturday 2 hours of massage early and felt no limitations at all.

Strength training isn’t always about how well you can do a max rep. Or what you can do when you’re feeling your best. It’s about how well you can do things when you’re not at your best! How well you can recover and keep doing the things you need to keep doing. And I’m very prideful I can still break scar tissue with my barehands when I’m not at full strength. 😆

Infrared saunas deliver gentle heat that penetrates the body directly, allowing longer, more comfortable sessions with unique wellness perks.

UCSF studies reveal full-body infrared heat beds, when combined with cognitive behavioral therapy, can lower depression scores by 16 points after multiple sessions.

Traditional saunas remain unmatched for cardiovascular health, longevity, and passive cardio advantages that mimic moderate exercise.

Pairing workouts with post-exercise sauna heat has been shown to amplify VO2 max, blood pressure, and lipid improvements.

Strategic timing—morning to build resilience, evening for sleep quality—unlocks even more benefits for mood, memory, and stress management.

Perpetual stew—often called “forever soup” or the “hunter’s pot”—was one of the most practical and enduring culinary traditions of the medieval world. Rather than preparing a fresh meal each day, households and inns kept a single pot of stew simmering continuously, sometimes for months or even years at a time. As ingredients ran low, cooks simply added whatever they had on hand: cuts of meat from a recent hunt, garden vegetables in season, handfuls of grains, dried herbs, or leftover scraps that would otherwise go to waste. Over time, this created a stew with deep, layered flavors that grew richer the longer it cooked. For families living through periods of scarcity, war, or harsh winters, this method was a lifeline—an efficient way to stretch ingredients and ensure there was always something warm and nourishing available. Travelers stopping at medieval inns often found comfort in these ever-simmering pots, which symbolized both hospitality and survival.

Beyond its practical value, the perpetual stew carried a strong social dimension. It became a communal undertaking in which everyone contributed what they could, turning the pot into a shared resource that reflected the rhythms of daily life. Historical accounts even speak of legendary stews that lasted for centuries, such as a pot-au-feu in Perpignan, France, said to have simmered from the 1400s until it was finally extinguished during World War II. Remarkably, the tradition has not entirely faded. In parts of the world today—including Bangkok’s famous century-old broths and long-running stews in Asakusa, Japan—the concept continues to thrive, linking modern cooking to a practice born in an era when resourcefulness was essential. The enduring appeal of perpetual stew lies not just in its flavor but in its ability to bring people together, reflecting a timeless blend of necessity, ingenuity, and shared human experience.

Did you know if you come to one class a week you can book the recharge station for $25! That includes yoga, chair yoga or a fitness class. If the classes don’t interest you. You can book for $45 for a hour. Many times people will book this before or after to complement their massage session. The session usually consists of 20 minutes of the red light therapy panels, 1/3 of the power is red light, 2/3 of the power is 810nm near infrared which consists of penetrating down into the muscles to help with soreness, stiffness and inflammation. Then hop into the Full Spectrum infrared sauna to finish out the hour. The red light doesn’t give you vitamin d. But it makes your cells more efficient in absorbing it! It will also help with seasonal depression. And it just feels really nice! Please reach out if you have any questions! We are conveniently next to Interstate Batteries!
