Metta Wellness, Ayurveda, Massage & Wellness

Yes a new year, means a  fresh start!   As we move forward and quickly in this new year, its a time to reflect, and create the space we want. I love taking this time of the year, to see what I have learned in the past year, what I want to take into this new year and what did not work in the past. Metta Wellness will be spending this year settling into our new work space and looking at new ways to bring you more. More herbal tips, new choices in the massage and treatments along with healthy eating and living tips. Throughout the year we will look at ways to create a balanced mind, body and spirit through our everyday routines. In my personal space I have added many new herbs to our diet and working to add yoga back into my daily routine. I look at what we have found to work in the past year and what area that I need to work on, and start to slowly make the adjustments that I need. Enjoy the process of moving forward with your goal and what you can do to ...

The Holidays are a wonderful and busy time of the year, friends, family, holiday parties and so much more... During this time of the year, it's important to take time for yourself. Finding ways to stay stress free will help you go through the season and make for a joyful time. Meditation: take some time for yourself everyday.

Yes, Thai Yoga Massage! The massage style, type of massage, pressure and even down to the music: everyone is a little different. Massage is beneficial to the the body mind as a whole. This is why it is so important to find the massage that is best for you. When a client comes in,  I will asses where they are(how you are feeling, how is the body) and what the goal is for the massage for the day. Most clients come in due to an injury and quickly find that sometimes bringing them back into balance is the first step. Thai Yoga Massage has long flowing stretches to help move the muscular system, help tone the inner organs and balance the nervous system. Thai Yoga massage is part of an ancient healing system, getting its roots from Ayurveda , one of the oldest holistic healing techniques So why not take some time and re-balance the body through Thai Yoga Massage at Metta Wellness .

As I move Metta Wellness into its new space this week, I am guided by the simplicity of change. I went to a Buddhist Temple this weekend, and was given a light, a small candle to sit in front of the Buddha, and as I did I stepped back and observed in calm and full of peace. It was then explained that the candle is a symbol of guidance( as you enter your home at night, you turn on the light, now you can see) this is the candle left behind. Inside you you have that light, and you can clearly see.This was a powerful time, as any change, we fell fear, anxiety and excitement and moving your work is no different. This calm in this move, the candle just reminds you that you have the light to see clearly inside of your self. With this change, I have come to appreciate that vulnerability, in myself and the people around me. As I move forward and move Metta Wellness into our new space, I welcome this change, this is a time to reflect, learn and grow with this change in front of us. ...

As fall is officially here, I start to think about baking, family, and wrapped up in warmth. I love the cool crisp mornings, making pumpkin pancakes before heading out for the day.   Blending of winter herbal teas, heated massage tables, and preparing to settle into the cold nights. At Metta Wellness we fell change is good, and as we move into the change of seasons, stop by,, see what we're doing to help you go through the seasons.
