April news and more...

Tips for reducing stress:

Drink Green Tea: Drinking green tea produces calming brain waves in as little as 15 minutes. An amino acid in the tea ups the production of alpha brain waves by 38%!

Orange Juice: Drinking just two glasses of orange juice a day can lower stress induced cortisol levels by 300%! It also increases the production of collagen, a protein that strengthens connective tissue and helps prevent cellulite from forming.

Whey smoothies: Drinking 15 grams of whey protein can raise testosterone levels by 25% for up to 48 hours. This increases metabolism and improves muscle tone. Drinking a post workout smoothie may double fat loss and increase muscle gain by 63%. Add variety to your smoothy by adding various fresh fruits. So delicious your kids will beg for more.

Get a massage! Not only does routine maintenance of massage therapy help reduce stress, it improves flexibility, increases circulation, strengthens the immune system, improves mood with the production of serotonin and dopamine and reduces pain naturally through the production of endorphins.

What's New at the Office??

Staring in May I will be phasing out of weekend hours. I will take appointments from 10:00am to 6:00pm Monday through Friday and will have one Saturday a month that I will work. I will have some other therapists on call for Saturday and Sunday hours, by appointment. So if you are looking to book an appointment with me please keep the new days and hours in mind. ~ Thank you!

  5. People are very much health conscious nowadays they want overall fitness and I feel, it can be achieved through massage chair therapy. Many Therapy Association said “massage is not only a way of takeover your body from disease, it's also a way of taking care to your health.”
