Sadly (for us), Tensegrity has moved to a new space.

That means we have a room available for a new practitioner. Please reach out if you are interested in sharing space in this integrative, cooperative, and holistic clinic! Must be a health practitioner.

Rent includes basic office supplies, a front desk space, shared access to the classroom space for professional use, a metal storage cabinet for extra supplies, shared kitchen space, laundry, and waiting room. The room itself is approximately 8.5'x10'. $550/mo.

The Melrose Center, like many buildings that need renovation, continues undergoing small transformations - like our "classroom" that finally got a door! Stay tuned for community classes and other offerings in this space.

If you are looking for a small classroom space for a project, we also rent the space on occasion, so please reach out to us! 509-240-5183.

Make an appointment with Katie to learn more about how your nutrition can support your health, and make a plan to implement lasting changes.

🟠 Turmeric + Boswellia for Joint Health

Turmeric has long been used to calm inflammation and support joint comfort. Clinical studies in people with knee osteoarthritis show that turmeric works even better when combined with Boswellia, with greater improvements in pain and mobility than either herb alone.

One challenge with turmeric is absorption. That’s why many formulas include black pepper extract (piperine) to boost bioavailability. But for some people, black pepper can cause digestive upset — which makes it important to choose the right form for your body.
