One of my most favorite things to do is to work with people to create their perfect day.  Sometimes it is for the person I'm speaking with, sometimes it's for one or a few of their loved ones or friends.  Always it is fun and rewarding and makes people happy.

A story....
Just the other day we hosted two lovely women.  One had called to create a relaxing day for her sister-in-law who needed some stress reduction and pampering. 
Both women started out with the "Two-Step" a 60 minute service that is 1/2 reflexology & 1/2 Thai Leg Massage.  Then one of the women received an Energy Balancer and the other a Zen Facial Massage.  After that was complete they met up to finish their morning in the Salt Room soaking in their relaxed space and letting it settle in so they could keep it long after they walked out the door.

They left looking relaxed, happy and refreshed.

I love that. 
I love to help you plan the perfect day. 

Here's to more people feeling true relaxation, wellness and happiness.
Enjoy your day...and always let me know if you want to plan your perfect day!

Good Thoughts,
Tracy

In 2012 all my hair fell out.

Do I have your attention?  Yea, that kinda got my attention too.

Turns out my body had been trying to give me hints and ask for help in a myriad ways - but finally settled on dropping all of my almost waist length hair as the way to get me on board. (Like ALL of it.  I was golem. Then I was in a wig.  For real)

It worked.

I found out that I was pre-diabetic and also had an autoimmune issue.  
I found out that I could reverse the pain and other issues, such as, but not limited to, complete hair loss...

With Food.

I'm personally not a pharma fan. (not judging, just saying why I did what I did)
I also really like to understand actual cause.  So I went the route of food.

The learning and figuring out was a 6 month process.  It was not easy, but it was the most valuable thing I have gone through.  I learned so much about how my body functions.  I learned how my body likes to be feed and treated to function at its best - and to let me have hair - and my health - thank you very much.

I told you that to mention this. - FOOD is the most powerful tool you have for (or against) your health. I should say one of - but I won't.
Food can heal.  Food can help your body do a better job.  Food can prevent. Food can improve.

It varies from person to person.  The menu is not the same.  But it is more than worth the trouble to figure it out.

So I am beyond excited to have Marisa Mangiameli of Eat.Love.Live.Heal. teaming up with Complete Wellness.
Marisa is knowledgable as hell. She's a beautiful, fun, super-real person and she will be leading a fully supported "30-Day Reset"
and then a full years worth of "Wellness 101" workshops. 

If you really are ready to feel better. If you really are ready to experience what it is like to be well.

Here it is - Your golden ticket people.  

I say this because I KNOW from experience.

It's been 11 years since my body told me off.  I learned what worked.  I did it for a good 3, almost 4 years to the "T".
I stepped off the wagon for a second....got run over by the wagon and then the wagon exploded.
I did things kinda 1/2 way for a few years and in the last 2-3 I TOTALLY lost my friggin mind with my food choices.

Now, I have bald patches and pain.
Now, I know what to do and am listening earlier than I did before.
Now, I am VERY excited to know I can restart my healthy relationship, decision making and planning with food (and more)
in a super supported way.

It's your holistic health loving, Reflexologist shouting from the rooftops about something personal and dear to her heart.
If you've seen me more than once you've heard at least parts of this saga. 
Learning about what foods serve you and what foods don't is HUGE and I can't capitalize and bold it enough.

OK.  I'm thinking maybe ya get what I'm saying.  lol,  Maybe? 

Just a little Food For Thought...

So, it's been a year.  Ok.  Maybe it's been a few years.  Things have been weird, intense, way way outside the realm of the usual and truly kinda tough.

Perhaps I understate things? 

Last weekend my hubby took me away for a long weekend.  We recently decided that snowshoeing would be something cool to do.
We were absolutely correct - but that is another story. We went to Colorado, to Rocky Mountain National Park.  There truly are no descriptive words that do that majestic part of this world justice.

But truly....talk about perspective.  

We all exist in our own world of joys and trials and day to day....well, stuff.  I know from my own experience and listening to decades of clients experiences that our day to day stuff can just drown us and get us stuck in places where we can't even function.  

A change in perspective - this weekend gave me a BIG change in perspective.  Different air, activity, temperature, sights and heights! 
It is the change in perspective that bumps us out of the stuck.  That allows just a bit of breathing room for new ideas, for a reprieve...
for a chance to come at things from just a little different mindset. 

It doesn't have to be a big trip.  It may not even need to be a burst of nature (although if asked I would encourage that method). 
Being immersed in something different for just a little while.  Or a long while.  Enough to be jostled from the one sticky place you've been.

During the trip it felt like every direction I turned was scenic.  Astounding.  I stood by almost every stream and just stared.  Something about the water making its way under the snow and ice.  Over the rocks and branches. 

The sound. The motion.  The water just making its way.  Relaxing.  Reassuring.  Inspiring.
Couldn't package much from this trip - but this - I brought a little back so I could jump in again when I needed it. 
Headphones and a video loop my friends.  :-)

I have been bumped.  I feel different.  Like I can breathe a little better, see a little more.

What will bump you from the rut?  Where can you get lost a while?
A book? A trail? A recipe? A meditation?
​A great reflexology session or massage? (<-- of course!!  who could leave that out. lol)

I would truly love to hear what helps you move forward. And if you don't know what moves you I send you all the good juju to find it.
Be Well. Be Happy.  Be Here.

​What is your SUPERPOWER?

While doing massage, a client sometimes asks – “Can you feel that?” (Their problem area; their tension spot; their pain points.) Or they ask “How do you know what area has the issue?” I have my responses, which are genuine, to which they then reply, “That’s amazing you can feel that”, or that I know where to look or that I know what their issue may be. My answer to their amazement is… we all have our gifts and mine is human touch. It is how I make a difference in someone’s life or day or my day or contribute to humankind. It is my purpose and how I thrive. It fills my happy meter.
It is my SUPERPOWER.

Now here we are facing another New Year. Woohoo!! But, how many of us put those expectations out? What are we going to  accomplish? What changes are we making? Big strides and big ambitions. And although it is fun and important to learn new things and expand our endeavors, let’s not set goals to perfect those endeavors in a short time. Or to have expectations to change who we are. Or make an objective of creating a whole new us.

Let’s embrace and acknowledge what makes us special.

What do you already do well?
What are you already accomplishing?
What are you already achieving?

I don’t ski. I am really bad. Like painfully bad. I also don’t build things. My measurements are not precise enough. It comes out lopsided. I like to sing, but there are no record producers signing me. I would like to learn to play the piano, but I have no expectations of selling out the Met. I love to bake. I love to take pictures.

I know human touch. I love to help people feel and function better. It’s my thing. We all have our thing. Let’s live in the moment of what makes us happy and fills us up. I say, embrace your passions, your gifts, your purpose and live there. Celebrate it. Share it.

So what is YOUR SUPERPOWER? Seriously, honestly, we want to know.

I'm a co-owner here at CW and sometimes ya just have to take one for the team.  When we have new services I try my best to try them out so I can really understand who it may good for and how to describe the service.

It's tough - but someone has to do it.  :-)

Well last week I tried the Zen XL Facial & Body Massage.

Now I have to find words for it.  This is hard because it was SUCH an experience....just wow. 
But that's not enough.  Not nearly enough.
(BTW if you've met me you know speechless is not usually my issue, yet here we are!)

This is a 90 minute service with our super talented therapist Lori.
It is a full body massage combined with the Zen facial massage.  It has beautiful oils that are good for your skin.  It has a warm honey & brown sugar scrub.  It has Hot Towels on your face...and neck....and back.
And, And, And...

I was silent for 90 minutes. 

I don't even think I was HERE.  This was an escape. 
​I literally walked into a room, closed the door and was transported away from all the STUFF of daily life.

Relaxed.  Pampered.  Void of all the thoughts and lists in my head.  There was just too many soothing things to feel to be thinking.  

Then there was after. 
​My body was happy.  My skin....oh my....I am very upset with myself for not taking before and after pics.
The dark lines under my eyes were gone.  My complexion - color, tone, vibrancy - was 1,000% improved compared to looking tired, pale and droopy.

I looked alive again and I felt that way, too.

Clearly I still need to hone in on how to describe this - it's too good for words really.
So, who needs this experience?  Let's see...
If you need a break from all EVERYthing, if your body needs to feel better, if your skin and its appearance needs a refresh. THIS is for YOU.

Who doesn't need this?  I don't know. I don't know anyone who doesn't need this in their life.

If you have lived through the past 3 years - you deserve this and ya probably need it too.

​These are a few of my favorite things...

My family has a lot of traditions. I won’t bore you with all of them, but know that many of my
memories come from family gatherings. Over Thanksgiving I was trying to spur some dinner
table conversation and asked, “What was your favorite Christmas gift you ever received?”
Have to say many of the answers were subpar. Were your gift givers lousy? Do you not
remember who gave you what? Or did you not commit special moments to memory? Or maybe
we process special moments differently – special people, special foods, special gifts, feelings,
smells, the weather, the place.

I have a few special gifts come to mind – the kitchen set my dad built for me, the bench my
uncle built for me, games, games and more games, the first holiday Barbie my husband tracked
down for my aunt to give me, the pillow and blanket Nanna made for each of us. Maybe you
noticed the theme here. These were all special because of the people who created, made the
effort, took the time FOR ME. Every year my mom would give me a new game and that New
Year’s we would play it until the ball dropped.

But beyond the gifts were the cookie baking with Christmas music, the red velvet cake and
homemade fudge, the exact same dinner every year, hosting the extended family holiday party,
hosting the New Year’s bash, Christmas caroling around the neighborhood. Not sure how my
mom didn’t combust, but it was her favorite time of year and she passed that to us.
Special moments, quality time, memories made, keepsakes forever. We have a few pictures (no
cell phones clicking away and posting.) But pictures are limited compared to the memories that
evoke feelings. You can almost hear the laughter, wrapping paper ripping, the parade on TV.
Smell the baking. Know it was cold that year it was a white Christmas. Hold those close my
friends.

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, my message is to be present in the memories being
made. It translates to any time and with anyone. Make the effort to be with family and friends.
Spend the time more than the money. These are the things that make memories. Make
traditions.

Thanks for another wonderful year from all of us at CW. You are in our hearts and we have
special memories spent with you.
