Whoa! How are we already into December? It has been quite a few crazy months, has it not? Reflecting on that, there was a definite energy shift happening since August. Did you experience it? What messages did the universe reveal to you? What lessons were presented to you? Did you give yourself grace while immersing yourself in learning from those lessons? Did you love yourself through this transitional period? What fell away making room for something new? May this last month of the year be filled with love, compassion, and hope as we embrace the coming of a new season. Peace be with you this December.

Christmas in Strafford; Gifts of Selfcare; Reflecting on the Year

Town-Wide Artisan Craft Extravaganza
You are cordially invited to this annual town-wide event. The residents of Strafford open their homes and showcase their amazing talents of handmade crafts. I'm not talking about potholders and doilies. I am talking about seriously talented woodworkers, metalworkers, knitters and crocheters, potters, painters, felters, candle makers and jewelers to just name a few. the talented artists in this town blow my mind! Visit christmasinstrafford.com (http://www.christmasinstrafford.com) to download a map of vendors and descriptions of each stop. My little spot is #32 on the map. Come and say hi while perusing all of your selfcare needs. Cozy crocheted blankets and hats as well as home decor items, wooden and felted ornaments, crystal intention candles, beautiful reiki infused crystal bracelets, soothing lavender chamomile eye-pads, and luxurious herbal bath salt footsoaks. My stop is open both Saturday and Sunday from 9-4! Also.... bring a canned good to donate to the food pantry!

Gift-giving
One of the biggest complaints I hear from people is about not taking enough time for themselves. Do you fall into that group? I know I have a hard time with that. Do you know how to fix that? Schedule the time into your day or evening. If you treat it like an appointment, it becomes a natural part of the routine.
Giving the gift of selfcare shows that you care about someone's well-being. It shows you care enough to give them time to breathe, time to focus on just themselves, and time for them to rest. It shows that you want to give them an experience of memories.
I have giftcards to purchase online through my website or handwritten gift certificates you can purchase and pick up here at the studio. Show the people in your life that you absolutely care about them by giving them a soulful break from life.

Hello December
Well, on more month to practice whatever you asked of yourself this year. "Practice" was my word for 2024. However you chose to move through this year, I hope you reflect back on it with grace and understanding. And if you set goals, I wish you success in completing those. Life has been quite interesting this year, not anything like I would have expected. This month brings closure to the year, but a new beginning to some bigger and better things! Join me in reflection and celebration for what is to come.

Take a breath, focus on the air that fills your chest. Notice the sensations as you inhale and exhale. Release your shoulders, feel the connection of your feet to the earth below you. Turn your head from side to side a few times, nod your head up to the sky and down to your chest a few times. You've got this.

I invite you to book some time with me in my studio to help regulate your nervous system and find that relaxed calm state to move through the month. Holistic facials, reiki, personalized sound healing, and foot soaks are my signature offerings. Find some renewal and serenity.

REMINDER.... take care of YOU.

This season is supposed to be filled with joy and giving. For many it is a season of stress and sadness. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Love and do for yourself first.

You are a priority.

How are you selfcaring this week?

Which road are you going to take?

Energy Touch is a modality to regulate the nervous system and stimulate the relaxation response through gentle intentional touch and energy work.

Each session includes a guided meditation, breathing exercises, and a warm "tuck-in" with heated wraps and a weighted blanket. We find a mind-body connection of security, 90 minutes of feeling grounded.

Imagine 8 weeks of feeling safer in your body, being nurtured, and experiencing a sense of balance and ease.

Trauma recovery is a journey. There are many tools required to manage that process. Energy Touch is a beautiful way to support the release of the painful experience.

We all have an opinion of ourself and what we see in the mirror. Society has taught us that our aging self isn't worthy. Med spa's make millions of dollars on that pain point that looking younger is the way to be.

Erase my wrinkles, lift my eye lids, reduce my sagging, whatever it takes. Fill my skin with weird substances to paralyze my muscles and fill in the 'cracks'. Gah!!!! Why? What does that prove?

We are strong, beautiful people that don't need to spend our lives grasping onto unrealistic outcomes. Aging is natural and it is beautiful. Taking care of your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual self will ultimately give you a stunning glow. Keeping your nervous system in check will keep your mind, body, and soul in balance. Using appropriate products on your skin will help nourish and protect it from harsh environmental damage.

Thank you for your service, for protecting our freedom.

If your body is a constant state of fight or flight, constant dysregulation, blood flow is directed away from the skin, gut, fingers, and toes. Anxiety disorders cause an open floodgate of stress hormones sending all bodily systems into overdrive. Since the skin is the largest organ, the stress hormones (like cortisol and adrenaline) are surging into the nerve endings in the dermis creating sensations like burning, itching, aand needles. needles. Many sensitive skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and even acne are exacerbated or even caused by anxiety.

Many people with sensitive skin avoid spa treatments and facials because of the fear of their skin's response to products and fragrance. They are truly missing out on an experience that may actually help their anxiety.

Understanding skin sensitivity is imperative in my practice. More recently I have reduced my product lines to accommodate and treat compromised and sensitive skin. As a holistic practitioner, I make it a priority to treat your mind, body, and soul, as well as your skin. My treatments are designed to reduce stress and anxiety. Have questions? I have answers. Let's work together.

Do you have sensitive skin? Did you know it may be due to anxiety and stress levels? Share with us below.
