We spend a lot of time taking care of and thinking about our bodies in the physical sense. We even spend some time on the mental part talking with a therapist or doing regular meditation, and yet sometimes it feels like there is still something missing. There is a new therapist among our suites and she has something a little different to offer, she is not a massage therapist. Her name is Cristin and she is a holistic energy healer. What does this mean and how do you know if you need it? Energy healing allows for the releasing of unhealthy patterns and beliefs that can result in physical or emotional issues. When these belief patterns are released and processed, clients experience powerful breakthroughs and a profound sense of peace and wellbeing. Cristin uses a variety of methods to shift energy including gentle supportive approaches including vibrational sound therapy. Energy healing takes you from where you are to where you want to be. You will focus on working through all body systems (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual) to achieve personal balance. This is an ideal choice for someone who seeks support going through major transition or assistance getting out of a rut. Cristin is a very down to earth person who is easy to relate to. Welcome Cristin with Good Vibes Energy Works if you happen to see her and book a session with her in addition to your massage to experience total mind, body, and soul healing. A link to her website is provided in the links section below.
Rose
Indulge this month with Rose. Rose essential oil is usually steam distilled from the petals. Source Vital’s rose is a rose absolute, this means it was extracted by a solvent method. Solvent extraction produces a highly concentrated oil. Rose is a delicacy when it comes to essential oils. It takes 5 tons of rose petals to make just two pounds of oil. Don't worry it's benefits are well worth it! Rose is known for its warm rich floral aroma. Rose is a very diverse oil, it is found in many skin care products due to its antioxidant properties. It is especially great for eliminating wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks by improving the firmness of skin. Rose is also an emotional healer especially after shock or grief, and it can boost self esteem. Rose is an antidepressant and helps to alleviate anxiety. Rose is perfect for Valentine's day as it also helps to bring the trust to be able to love and can help with the feeling of loneliness. Physically rose relieves muscles spasms in limbs, respiratory spasms, convulsions, and muscle pulls and cramps. It is an antiseptic, antiviral, and bactericidal. It can sedate inflammation making it great for arthritis, gout, and even for lowering fevers. Rose can help to purify blood which helps with heart disease, cancer, and liver health. It also soothes stomach aches and digestion. Rose is not recommended during pregnancy as it can help to encourage and regulate menstruation. Fun fact: rose is an aphrodisiac. Rose is not a cost effective oil so it will not be available for purchase this month nor will it be available in a roller ball. A link is provided below to order from Source Vital and you will get to experience the oil during your February massage! ***Information provided on essential oils not a substitute for medical advice.
