Ever notice how your body seems to “speak” when words fall short?
The tightness in your chest that shows up with stress…
The flutter in your stomach before big decisions…
The heaviness that lingers even when you’re at rest.

Polarity Therapy works with that language — the subtle flow of energy that connects body, mind, and emotion. Through gentle touch and intuitive awareness, your practitioner helps your system find its natural rhythm again.

Clients often describe it not as a treatment, but as coming home to themselves.

🌿 For grounding.
💫 For clarity.
💗 For deep rest you can feel long after the session ends.

Curious what balance feels like for you?
➡️ Book a Polarity session at Chez Gabrielle and reconnect with your own energy.

Your skin’s craving more than moisture. It wants protection.

Cold air + indoor heat = barrier damage.
Here’s how to defend your glow:
✨ Use a gentle cleanser — avoid stripping.
💧 Layer hydrating serums (think hyaluronic acid).
🪷 Seal it in with a rich, occlusive moisturizer or facial oil.
🌸 Regular professional facials will keep your skin healthy and glowing.

Ever wondered why that knot in your shoulder gives you a headache?

Those tiny, tender spots—called trigger points—form when muscle fibers get stuck in a mini-contraction. This limits blood flow, traps waste products, and sends pain signals that can travel far beyond the original area (hello, tension headaches 👋).

The good news? Focused bodywork can release them, improve circulation, and restore balance.

💆‍♀️ Therapeutic massage helps flush out pain-causing chemicals.
🌿 Acupuncture calms overactive nerves.
🌸 Polarity therapy resets your body’s energetic flow.

➡️ Your body’s chemistry might just need a reset. Book your session today.

Take a deep breath.
This is your reminder that rest is productive too.

Self-Care Sunday isn’t just about bubble baths and candles (though we love those). It’s about pausing long enough to listen to what your body and mind truly need. Maybe that’s quiet time, maybe it’s movement, maybe it’s booking that massage you’ve been putting off.

Let today be soft.
Let it be slow.
Let it be for you.

If you’ve been feeling wired, tired, or just out of balance, ashwagandha might be the gentle support your body needs.

This powerful adaptogenic herb has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to help the body adapt to stress and find equilibrium. Think of it as a calm anchor for a busy mind and an overworked nervous system.

Ashwagandha can help by:
✨ Calming the stress response by supporting healthy cortisol levels
🌙 Encouraging deeper, more restorative sleep
💪 Promoting steady energy throughout the day
🧘‍♀️ Easing anxious thoughts while improving focus

It works gradually, building balance from the inside out. It’s not a quick fix, but a quiet helper that supports long-term wellness.

You can find it in capsules, tinctures, and herbal teas. As with any supplement, it’s best to check with your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you’re pregnant or taking medication.

Sometimes healing begins when we give the body what it truly needs: calm, care, and consistency.

Have you ever noticed your shoulders tightening when you’re stressed, or your stomach turning when you’re anxious? That’s your body talking to you.

Our emotions don’t just live in our minds, they’re felt and processed throughout the entire body. When feelings are unacknowledged or suppressed, they can manifest as tension, discomfort, or even chronic pain over time.

Here’s how some common emotions often show up physically:
💭 Anxiety — Tightness in the chest, shallow breathing, racing heart
🔥 Anger — Tension in the jaw, neck, and back
🌧️ Sadness — Heaviness in the chest, fatigue, lowered energy
⚡ Stress — Stomach upset, headaches, muscle tightness
💔 Fear — Gut discomfort, trembling, feeling “frozen”

Becoming aware of these signals is the first step in restoring balance. The next step is creating gentle release — through deep breathing, movement, massage, or mindful stillness.

Your body and mind are always in conversation. When you listen with compassion, healing begins.

Tiny beads. Big benefits.

Ear seeds are a beautiful blend of ancient medicine and modern self-care. This gentle, non-invasive technique is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. By gently stimulating points on the ear, they can help regulate your body’s energy, calm the mind, and support emotional balance.

Red light therapy has made its way to the skin-care obsessed masses: While it was once a treatment only at the doctor’s office, the number of devices you can now use at home has grown at a viral pace. Red light therapy is one form of multiple light-emitting diode (LED) therapies—but of all of them, red light penetrates the deepest into the skin.

Red light therapy is thought to work by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation. More specifically, certain cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work.

Red light therapy may work in skin health to:

✨ Stimulate collagen production, which gives skin its structure, strength and elasticity.

✨ Increase fibroblast production, which makes collagen. Collagen is a component of connective tissue that builds skin.

✨ Increase blood circulation to the tissue.

✨ Reduce inflammation in cells.

Do you struggle with tight, painful jaw muscles? Self-massage can offer some relief! Here's how to perform a masseter cross fiber massage:

1. Make a fist with both hands.
2. Place the knuckles just under the cheekbone about an inch away from the ear.
3. Press firmly and move forward making continuous semi-circles. Continue for 30–60 seconds.
4. Take a break and repeat the entire motion but with the mouth open.

Have you heard of Pranayama breathing? Through Pranayama techniques, you focus deeply on breath control, working to extend your life force through inhalation, breath retention, and exhalation patterns. There are a few different Pranayama exercises that anyone can try, such as:

1. Ujjayi. Also referred to as “victorious breath,” this type of yogic breathing involves gently narrowing your throat to create resistance as air passes through the body. Ujjayi breathing creates a snore-like sound that can be soothing for some practitioners.

2. Nadi Shodhana. Also known as “alternate nostril breathing,” this technique involves alternating inhalations and exhalations through the right nostril and left nostril, which correlates with the emotional and logical halves of our brain. The balancing aspect of this technique can be calming and aid in concentration.
3. Kapalabhati. Kapalabhati, often called “skull shining breath,” involves gentle inhaling and forceful exhaling. This technique is used to purge the body of toxins and clear your energy channels.

4. Bhastrika. Bhastrika, also known as “bellow’s breathing” or “stimulating breath,” is a form of Pranayama that involves aggressive inhalation and exhalation patterns, which can have an energizing effect and help calm the mind.

5. Bhramari. Bhramari breathing, also referred to as “humming bee breath,” involves taking long, deep inhales, coupled with a “humming” exhalation. The humming sound and gentle vibration can give the practitioner a calming sensation to focus on, helping calm a busy, buzzing mind.
