Magnesium for wellness

Hi! I hope you’re feeling well and taking great care of yourself!
Since so many of us experience stress, muscle tension, trouble sleeping, or low energy at times, I wanted to share some helpful information on a simple but powerful nutrient: magnesium.

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of functions in the body — especially muscle relaxation, nerve function, sleep quality, stress response, and energy production. Many people are depleted in magnesium (50% of Americans) because they aren’t getting enough in their diet or aren't absorbing it well because of coffee/caffeine/alcohol(if not hydrating enough to balance) high sugar intake(which causes the magnesium to excrete through the kidneys) and chronic stress (the body uses magnesium while stressed to regulate the nervous system). Lack of magnesium can contribute to muscle tightness, restlessness, headaches, poor sleep, or feeling “wound up.”

Why Magnesium Matters:
-Helps muscles relax after activity, stress, or long hours of sitting
-Supports deeper, more restful sleep
-Plays a role in calming the nervous system
-Helps regulate energy, mood, and circulation
-Works with calcium and vitamin D to support bone health

Food Sources of Magnesium:
You can increase magnesium naturally through whole-food choices such as:
-Leafy greens (spinach, Swiss chard, kale)
-Nuts & seeds (almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, chia)
-Whole grains (oats, quinoa, brown rice)
-Legumes (black beans, lentils, chickpeas, edamame)
-Avocado, bananas, figs, dark chocolate, and tofu
-Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines)
-Supplementing

*I use this supplement from New Chapter (not an ad, just a fan)
newchapter.com/products/magnesium-ashwagandha

Different forms of magnesium supplements are used for different goals:
Glycinate → calming, sleep support, muscle tension
Citrate → digestion & regularity
Malate → energy, muscle recovery
Threonate → focus, brain support

**If you try a supplement, start with a low dose and listen to your body. Everyone responds differently. Everyone’s body is unique, and this information is for education and wellness, not medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have kidney issues, chronic illness, are pregnant, or take medication, talk to a provider before supplementing.**

Easy Lifestyle Add-Ons
-Warm Epsom salt/magnesium flake baths (I like this one by ancient minerals a.co/d/aQiRQ9k)
-Breathing practices and nervous system resets
-Consistent hydration and mineral balance
-Regular movement + bodywork (massage, stretching, fascial release)

Grounding - Reconnect to Nature and Restore Naturally

Hi Mosaic, fam,

Sending this to you midweek because I just couldn’t get it together earlier this week.
I just want say thank you so much for those of you who read these emails and give me encouragement to keep doing them. It really means a lot! I know there’s so much daily information overload and so much to keep up with. Ashamed to admit, I have 42,000 unread emails 🫣, I wish I was kidding lol
(Most of those are spam and notifications, I'm sure because I do keep up with Mosaic’s emails!)

With all the screens, constant notifications, and technology surrounding us, our bodies and minds are often overstimulated. It’s easy to feel unbalanced or disconnected from the world around us.
One simple and restorative practice that can help is called grounding (also known as earthing). Grounding is when you connect directly with the surface of the earth — walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil, or even sitting outdoors with your hands in the dirt. This direct contact allows your body to interact with the earth’s natural electrical charge, which may help calm your nervous system and support your overall wellbeing.

🌱 Why Grounding Matters More Than Ever
Our modern environment — filled with Wi-Fi, EMFs, and artificial light — can subtly affect our stress levels and energy. Grounding acts like a natural reset, helping your body rebalance and unwind.
Research has shown that grounding may:
✅ Reduce inflammation and muscle soreness
😴 Support deeper, more restful sleep
💓 Calm the nervous system and ease stress
⚡ Improve circulation and energy flow

While the science is still developing, no one can deny how refreshed and centered they feel after spending intentional time outdoors and connecting with nature. I have seen images

💆 Integrate Grounding into Your Self-Care Routine
-Try taking a few minutes each day to step outside barefoot, breathe deeply, and let your body and mind unwind. Sometimes the simplest moments bring the greatest sense of renewal.
-or for the winter months when the ground is painfully cold, I recommend using a grounding mat. I bought one for my bed, which is a sheet that goes on top of your sheets. And I also bought a grounding exercise mat. Both of these plug into the circular grounding port at the bottom of your standard 3 prong electrical outlet.

earthing.com (https://www.earthing.com)
(I got mine for Christmas last year, just at idea to add to your Christmas list!)

🌿 Evidence & Research
• Chevalier et al., 2015 – Journal of Inflammation Research: Found grounding reduced inflammation markers and supported immune function.
• Brown et al., 2010 – European Biology and Bioelectromagnetics: Reported improved sleep and balanced cortisol levels after grounding.
• Chevalier et al., 2013 – Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine: Participants experienced faster muscle recovery and less pain.
• Sinatra et al., 2017 – Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine: Showed improved circulation and heart rate variability.

I hope to see you this week!

Warmly,
Meagan Sterling

Your body’s built-in detox system (lymphatic) — and how to love it daily

Hi everyone!
I'm breaking my Sunday technology fast to come on here and send this email because I spaced on it yesterday. After massaging I came home and was feeling inspired to do a bunch of meal prepping (a venison roast, Italian wedding soup with extra meatballs for other meals, homemade bread and some yummy healthy treats for mosaic) so that took up my evening.

I know we can all use a reset button(in the form of a massage/facial/sauna session)during this busy season and we happen to have lots of availability this week!

As we get closer to winter its a good idea to do whatever you can to boost your immune function (through nutrition, limiting sugar, exercise, sunlight) and keep your lymphatic system flowing the way it should.
If you've ever felt a little puffy, tired, or just run down, your body might be asking for some lymphatic love.

Your lymphatic system is your body’s built-in detox and immune support network — a system of vessels that carry waste, excess fluid, and toxins out of your tissues. Unlike your heart, your lymph system doesn’t have a pump. It relies on movement, breath, and gentle touch to keep things flowing.
When lymph flow slows down (from stress, sitting too much, dehydration, a build up of heavy metals, or even tight clothing especially synthetic material like polyester), it can leave you feeling bloated, heavy, or more prone to inflammation and sluggishness.

The good news is, supporting your lymphatic health is simple and deeply nurturing.
Here are a few ways to get things moving:
• Gentle daily movement like walking or stretching
• Staying hydrated with mineral-rich water (or coconut water)
• Dry brushing before a shower to stimulate circulation
• Deep breathing — the diaphragm helps “pump” lymph fluid

At Mosaic, we take this a step further with our Lymphatic Massage(also known as Manual Lymphatic Drainage), which includes dry brushing and very light, pumping and rhythmic movements designed to move stagnant lymph and reduce puffiness, water retention, and inflammation. Clients often describe it as deeply relaxing yet energizing — like hitting “refresh” for your body.

🌿 The Anatomy & Function of the Lymphatic System - your crash course

What It Is
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and organs that runs throughout the body — like a hidden river system supporting your immune and detox pathways.
Its main jobs are to:
1. Drain fluid (lymph) from tissues back into the bloodstream, preventing swelling and puffiness.
2. Filter waste and toxins through lymph nodes.
3. Support immunity by producing and transporting white blood cells (especially lymphocytes).

⸻
Lymph Nodes
• The average adult has between 500 and 700 lymph nodes throughout the body.
• These nodes are clustered in key areas — especially the neck, underarms, chest, abdomen, and groin.
• Each node is a tiny, bean-shaped structure packed with immune cells.
• Inside, lymph fluid is filtered — bacteria, dead cells, and toxins are trapped and destroyed by immune cells before the fluid returns to circulation.
⸻

Why Movement Matters
Unlike blood, which has the heart to pump it, the lymphatic system has no central pump.
It depends on:
• Muscle movement (walking, stretching, deep breathing)
• Manual stimulation (massage, dry brushing)
• Hydration (lymph fluid is mostly water)

⸻

🌿 Where do toxins go after lymphatic drainage?
The lymphatic system collects waste, cellular debris, and excess fluid from your tissues.

Here’s the flow:
1. Lymph fluid collects waste → It moves through lymph nodes, where bacteria and toxins are filtered and broken down by white blood cells.
2. The cleaned fluid returns to the bloodstream near your collarbone.
3. From there, the liver and kidneys take over — filtering out what’s left.
4. Finally, your body eliminates those filtered wastes through:
• Urine (kidneys)
• Stool (via the liver and colon)
• Sweat (through the skin)
• And even breath (via the lungs)
So while lymphatic drainage doesn’t make you “detox” in a direct, instant way, it supports the organs that do — by helping your body move stagnant fluid and waste toward the pathways of elimination.
⸻
💧 After a lymphatic massage:
• It’s important to hydrate well, since the kidneys need fluid to flush waste efficiently.
• You may notice an increase in urination (a good sign that drainage is happening).
• Supporting your digestion (fiber, hydration, movement) also helps complete the detox process

If you’ve been feeling drained or heavy lately, this is a beautiful way to support your body’s natural detox process while giving your nervous system a chance to reset.
✨ Your body knows how to heal — it just needs the right flow.
Hope to see you soon for some lymphatic love!

Rest to Rise: The Science of Slowing Down

Hi Mosaic Fam,

You all are intelligent and informed so I know I'm not telling you anything new here but we can all use a reminder to prioritize rest.
We tend to see rest as a reward — but truthfully it’s a requirement for a healthy, balanced body and mind.

When you slow down — which can be through quality sleep, massage, sauna sessions, facials, red light therapy, meditating, reading, crafting stretching, grounding, strolling outside— your body activates the parasympathetic nervous system, also known as “rest and digest.” In this mode, your heart rate slows, your muscles relax, and your body shifts into deep repair.

✨ Lets talk about sleep, here’s what science tells us:
Getting fewer than 7 hours of sleep per night can lead to:
-Increased insulin resistance, making it harder to manage blood sugar and metabolism
-Higher cortisol (stress hormone) levels, leading to inflammation and fatigue
-Slower muscle and tissue repair
-Weakened immune function
-Reduced focus, memory, and emotional regulation
-During deep sleep, your brain’s glymphatic system clears out toxins — including beta-amyloid, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Your body also releases growth hormone, which repairs cells and supports healthy metabolism.

Massage and other restorative practices help activate these same healing processes by calming your nervous system and improving circulation — setting the stage for better sleep, better recovery, and better balance.

💡 Rest isn’t laziness — it’s self-care that helps you think clearer, feel stronger, and show up better in every area of your life.
If it’s been a while since you’ve slowed down, this is your reminder to recharge.

🗓️ Book your next session — your body will thank you for it as well as the people in your life who you want to show up for.

have a great week!
warmly,

Meagan

Day of Rest

Hey everyone!

Last Sunday I put my phone in a box on my wall and successfully left it there for the whole day. That was my first time being completely unavailable in over 10 years; even when I was in labor I was still answering the phone and texting clients back. Hopefully you're a bit more balanced than I have been at times.

It’s healthy and necessary to unplug on a regular basis. It’s still my goal to be off grid on Sundays but I didn’t get a chance to write the newsletter yesterday since it was a very full day with hosting my dads birthday party at my house and going for a family hike.

I’m just popping on here to tell you the availability for the week because we have quite a lot of openings. I hope you can carve out some time to take care of yourself this week! The mosaic phone is going back in the box and I'm heading to my sister in law's baby shower, so I’ll do another email tomorrow talking about the importance of rest for our health.

Happy Sunday!

Meagan

Sweat-er Weather is here!- Benefits of a sweaty sauna

Normally I send these emails on Sundays, but I'm trying to refrain from work and being on a device on Sundays to be more present with my family.

This is our third week on the very broad topic of “health” on our IIN circle of life- helping us to find areas in our lives that can be more balanced. We talked about how meditation and red light therapy can both help calm our nervous systems.

Another great addition to your wellness routine to regulate your nervous system is the use of saunas. We cannot help you with the red light therapy just yet(sometime this year though) but we can help you with providing a beautiful traditional Finnish sauna for you to sweat in.

Theres some great science behind why it’s so beneficial. Here are a few ways regular sauna use supports your health:

🔥 Supports heart and circulation health – The heat gently raises your heart rate, much like light exercise. Over time, this can improve circulation, lower blood pressure, and support overall cardiovascular health.

🧠 Protects brain function – Research from Finland has shown that people who use a sauna several times a week have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The improved blood flow and relaxation may help keep the brain healthy as we age.

💧 Encourages natural detoxification – Sweating helps your body release built-up toxins through the skin. It also supports your lymphatic system —which works closely with your immune system — to keep everything flowing and balanced.

😌 Relieves muscle tension and stress – The heat relaxes tight muscles, reduces soreness, and helps your body absorb the full benefits of massage therapy. It’s also an excellent way to unwind and calm the mind.

Even a short 15 minute sauna session before your facial or after your massage can make a noticeable difference in how your body feels — more relaxed, refreshed, and renewed. Our sauna sessions are reserved for 45 minutes so you can take your time going between the sauna and taking a cool shower but if you are short on time, you’re not required to stay that long.

We provide robes towels, cold, lavender face cloths in a mini fridge and room temp water and cold seltzer waters. You will have the sauna all to yourself which can be booked with or without a massage/facial session or you can invite up to two guests to go with you. If you book your sauna with a massage/facial, it is at an automatic $5 discounted rate.

***We have just added a sauna package for the 1st time!!***

"Sweat-er Weather Package"- 10 solo sauna sessions for $250(saving $50)

(there's a link below to purchase)

If you’d like to book a sauna session your next visit, just let me know and I’ll help you schedule it. Or you can book online with me for Mondays and Thursdays.

Hope you see you all more during these cold months.

Come get your sweat on!

Red Light Therapy: wellness boost during the colder months

Hi Mosaic fam,

This rainy weather might've changed some plans but made for a nice cozy, slow Sunday, which is so needed. Today I picked from my garden for possibly the last time for the season. I'll be bringing in more fresh flowers tomorrow.
I'm really going to miss that, it was really rewarding for me to cut home grown flowers and bring them into Mosaic for more people to get to enjoy them.

As we settle into the colder, darker months, it’s common to feel a shift—less hours of sunlight and vitamin D, less energy, changes in mood, dry or dull skin, and even trouble sleeping. One gentle, natural and relaxing way to support the body during this seasonal transition is with Red Light Therapy.

Red Light Therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that pe*****te the skin without any heat or damage. These wavelengths energize your cells, helping to support skin health, reduce inflammation, and promote healing at a deeper level.

How It Supports Us in the Colder Seasons:

It mimics the calming light of a campfire or candlelight which is obviously how humans used to function after sundown humans before electricity. Warm, red-toned light that signaled the brain it was time to wind down. Red light therapy taps into that same spectrum. Unlike the blue light from screens and overhead lighting, red light doesn’t interfere with melatonin production, the hormone that helps us sleep. In fact, it may help support deeper, more restful sleep, especially when used in the evening.

Supports mood and energy

During the darker months, reduced sunlight exposure can throw off our natural circadian rhythm, contributing to fatigue or low mood. Red light has been shown to help regulate these rhythms and gently stimulate serotonin production—our “feel-good” chemical.

Relieves tension and supports circulation

The colder it gets, the more our muscles tend to tighten up. Red light helps increase blood flow and reduce inflammation, which can ease muscle and joint discomfort.

Nourishes your skin

Harsh weather and indoor heating can lead to dry, irritated skin. Red light encourages collagen production and cell renewal, supporting a smoother, more hydrated complexion.

Even just sitting under red light for a few minutes can feel like a cozy pause—like a moment by a fire or like laying on the beach.

**I have been thinking about adding this therapy to Mosaic this for at least 3 years. Be on the look out for Red Light Therapy on our list of services!
Im just doing a little bit more research to find the best fit for Mosaic. I want the best quality with low/no EMFs and large enough cover the whole body and face. I think I have found the right one but just doing some more comparing before jumping in. Hopefully I'll have good news for you all in the next email!**

We have plenty of massage/facial spots left open but they tend to fill up fast after I send out the emails so take the leap and book online if you've been thinking you're in need of some TLC.
The sauna is available as well and can be booked with your massage online but if you'd like to book a sauna session without another treatment, just message me 401-617-9989 and I can coordinate that.

See you soon!

Improving your mental health through Meditation (and Meditation massage)

Hello from the Dominican Republic!

I’m here until tomorrow, on a quick family trip celebrating my husband’s college graduation as well as my mother-in-law and sister-in-law’s birthdays who live here. As much as going on a vacation, especially somewhere warm and tropical is so beneficial for your mental health, it doesn’t have to be something extra extravagant.

Even just pulling yourself out of your routine to go get some fresh air somewhere is so refreshing. Thankfully in Rhode Island we have so many beautiful places to go for free in nature. Trail, beaches, ponds, farms, vineyards. Being in nature is like letting out the biggest exhale.

We are still working our way around the IIN circle of life, now onto the very broad topic of health. Today we'll talk about one proven way to improve mental health: Meditation. Maybe you’ve dabbled in it before. I personally haven’t really done much of it, but I did use guided meditations while pregnant when I was doing my birth prep. And that really helped me a lot with anxieties that I was feeling about labor.

Research has proven that meditation reduces stress related symptoms by up to 30%, lowers anxiety and depression, and enhances emotional well being. Just 10 min a day can lead to over 19% reduction in anxiety. In various studies, 65% of individuals with chronic pain reported improved pain management.

Now, imagine combining meditation and massage. I can’t really think of many things that are more relaxing than that!

Our talented massage, therapist, esthetician and trained meditation, instructor Elena Carr has created a very unique experience for us to really quiet the chatter in our minds.

I haven’t heard of this type of treatment being offered anywhere yet, so to my knowledge this offering is exclusive to Mosaic. (Available starting Oct 20th)

Here’s a message from Elana to you all:

Hello Mosaic Wellness Community!

I’m excited to share something close to my heart my newest offering at Mosaic: The Unwind Meditation Massage.

Over the past year, I completed a meditation teacher training program with the Philosophy of the Eight Guided Paths and became certified in Jhana 1 Meditation at the Heron Education Center in Westport, MA. This practice focuses on calming the nervous system and guiding the body and mind into deeper states of peace.

In the past, I led relaxation and meditation groups at Butler Hospital in Providence, where I witnessed firsthand how mindfulness and stillness can help people reconnect with themselves and find calm even in stressful times.

Through this program, I’ve not only gained new tools, but I’ve also grown personally, learning how stillness, breath, and awareness have helped me.

I began this journey with a question: How can I help my clients sink even more deeply into relaxation during massage? I noticed how muscles respond differently when the mind is calm and how true healing often happens when both the body and mind unwind together.

The Unwind Meditation Massage blends intentional massage with gentle singing bowl tones, guided meditation, stretching, and breath work to calm the nervous system, release tension, and help the body let go on a deeper level.

I can’t wait for you to experience it!

With gratitude,

Elana Carr, LMT & EST

**the Unwind can be found on our online booking but please book for any dates after Oct 20th, that will be her official start date with this service**

Growth Mindset Vs. Scarcity Mindset

Happy autumn everyone!

I took the last two weeks of summer off from sitting down to write a real email and just sent the availability instead. As someone who lives with lots of room for spontaneity; definitely not type A, not quite type B either (more like a type C?) routines have always been a big struggle for me. But jumping back in.

I hope you are soaking in this gradual change of seasons. At home, we still have flowers blooming and watermelon that we're waiting on to ripen, making me feel like summer is not fully over. But then I see the leaves changing already and have to accept the reality but embracing change is what life is all about. Exciting things on the horizon this fall at Mosaic involving a new massage treatment blended with Meditation (Elana will be introducing her creation with you all next week), a new hydrating facial treatment available for booking in November and Body Deli products hitting our shelves for sale in November as well.

I'm feeling a shift and desire for growth and preparation this month. As we transition from the warm, fun, busy months to the colder months, it's a good time to reflect, think of what you're grateful for, reprioritize, set goals, forgive and let go of the past to make room for growth. I have a journal I bought maybe a year ago and haven't used but its a great resource and I'm using it for the first time today. Its called the Big Life Journal and its focus is the train your mind to have a growth mindset rather than a scarcity mindset.

Scarcity Mindset looks at the world through the lens of there not being enough for everyone. It stems from negative feelings of fear, limitation, jealousy, being stuck, worry, regret, greed, and hopelessness. Growth Mindset is formed by optimistic feelings of possibility, hope, power, determination, trust, calmness, generosity, and encouragement. Obviously the latter is the mindset that will be most beneficial for ourselves and those around us and we don't want to waste space in our brains with thoughts that are holding us back from our potential. The goal here is to become a self-compassionate observer, understand yourself a bit more and replace old thoughts with new thoughts.

This will be our last week on the subject of relationships. It was insightful hearing our massage therapists responses to the questions and their perspectives. I’m sure I’ll revisit that again someday asking them to share about different modalities of massage that they have learned. The relationship I’d like to focus on today, is the relationship we have with ourselves and our mindsets. So if you’d like to take some time to grab a notebook/journal/notes app in your phone and think about and write down your answers, I’d like to interview you. Some of these questions will be taken from the "Big Life Journal" and some just from my brain.

-try to describe your life right now in 3 words

-what 3 words do you want to describe your life in the future?

-what is your biggest motivation currently?

-what are you afraid of?

-What are some things that you believe to be impossible for you?

-What are the underlying beliefs you have about yourself and your capabilities that are behind these negative thoughts?

-How are these thoughts affecting your life right now? (how its benefitting you and how its costing you)

-what is something you find yourself complaining about and ruminating on?

-Is there anything you can do to make that problem any smaller?

-Write down some things that you can see in abundance in nature

-Write down things that you poses in abundance (can be physical things or relationships, time, money etc)

-what are 5 values you try to live by ?

-name a few encouraging people in your life who share similar values?

-who is someone who you admire?

-what are some accomplishments you've done his year that have improved your life (can be as small as organizing your room)?

-What is something you can do today that will make this new week better than the last one?

That was probably too many questions but I could've kept going!
I'll just leave you with a couple quotes as final thoughts.

"Old habits can take years to form. Forgive yourself if it takes more than a day to break them" - Mel Robbins

"And now dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise" - Paul the apostle (Philippians 4:8)

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will"- Paul the apostle (Romans 12:2)

Be bold, be grateful, embrace shifts and don't be afraid to grow.
