Welcome!
I love helping people to slow down and decompress.
After doing massage for 30 years, I still enjoy slowing down, honoring the healing spirits, and helping my clients to release tension.
In our fast paced society massage is a blessing that helps us go within to our own peaceful place to become more aware of our body's needs.
Here's my February Newsletter:
Fitness: The condition of being physically fit and healthy. Strength, Robustness, Vigor. "disease and lack of fitness are closely related"
"Effort is one of the things that gives meaning to life. Effort means you care about something, that something is important to you, and you are willing to work for it. It would be an impoverished existence if you were not willing to value things and commit yourself to working toward them."
-Carol Dweck
Hello friends,
I had a fantastic week in southwestern Mexico leading my second Yoga Retreat. It went so well that I will do it again same time next year! The food was so good that I ate a little too much. We savored all of the sunsets. Swam, Biked, walked the beaches, kayaked, birdwatched, and of course did Yoga!
To increase my fitness level this month I will do Spin class 2-3X/week, do PT for both of knees, do basic weight lifting, and decrease my calories. I want to focus on gaining muscle and weighing 15 pounds less. I feel better and can move more easily when I am fit! So making the effort is worth it! I have benefited from using the Noom App. It has great psychology lessons regarding health and weight loss. It also has the other info on food and calories and exercise etc....
Are you feeling fit? Any changes you want to make to feel better? For great coaching and accountability try Kate Honegger of Clementine Health Coaching.
Hope you have a fabulous month of fitness in February!
In honor of my 30th anniversary I raised my prices beginning February 1. My new prices are listed below.
Love, Niki

"Listen with ears of tolerance.
See through eyes of compassion.
Speak with the language of love."
-Rumi
Anything that is not love
is only a visitor to your body.
You are not anxious
stress is simply flowing through you.
You are not permanently depressed,
sadness is simply visiting you.
You are not lost,
confusion is simply wandering within you.
And you are not broken,
pain is simply passing through you.
-Tahlia Hunter
Inspired by Rumi's poem "This being human is a guesthouse"
