Meet my new office mate. This happy little Cheshire Cat will be hanging out with me at A healing haven from now on.

His mission is to bring a dash of unexpected delight to the office. His arms, legs and tail all move.

I have been adding fidgets and little sensory experiences to the office to bring some added comfort to my neurotypical clients.

This little guy also offers somatic experiencing and trauma clients something to react to. I imagine that some will love to see him, while others might find him a little unnerving. Either way, he is something in my space that they can interact with other than me that they can control and play with as part of their healing process.

If you see him there feel free to pick him up and move him around in the studio. He can be an encouraging smile or you can turn him away from you if you want. He can sit and stand.

Stay tuned for other friends in the space. I am hoping to get a weighted huggable Cheshire friend for those that need a little extra grounding and want something other than my rocks to hold.

All about fascia.

I’m participating in Art-A-Whirl in NE Minneapolis this weekend.

I am offering chair massage and selling my herbal first aid salves. I made a fresh batch of burn salve in anticipation of this summer’s sun burns. It works great! Takes the pain away, heals the burn and isn’t sticky like aloe.

Come on over for a visit if you’re in the area. I’m located at 1119 5th St. NE.

Cheers!

If you book your service online, just select pay at time of service. I will give you the discount when you come in.

Remember, you can buy as many of each 1-hour-long service as you want at the discounted price as long as you pay for them during May.

Also, keep in mind that the $10.00 off a 1-hour treatment is available all the time on most services if you do a monthly membership. Just check out my website for details and shoot me an email or text if you have any questions.

Being out in nature is one of the best things for our physical and mental health. I have been trying to get out in nature a few times a week. There are many great places in the Minneapolis area.

Today I went to Westwood Hills Nature Center in St. Louis Park. This place doesn’t allow dogs, however there were tons of different birds to see and hear and I got up close to a couple deer and turkey showing his feathers
