FARMaceutical First Aid

Last summer my dog nearly died after chasing a wasp, ingesting toxic venom and going into anaphylactic shock. Without my homeopathic first aid kit, she would no longer be here. From emergencies to bumps and bruises and even allergies, homeopathy comes to the rescue. This all-natural medicine needs to be in everyone’s homes; and we are here to teach you what you need to know in order to use it! Homeopathy is safe, can be used alongside over the counter or prescription medications, and is economical. An $8 tube of Arnica can ease the pain your child endures after falling off his bike this summer. Join us for a live class to learn how you can incorporate and create your own FARMaceutical first aid kit!

Product Review: Utrition

Utrition allows you to take action on your nutritional needs, based on your own DNA. This simple and affordable, personalized nutritional formula is made for you using your own SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), which are DNA sequence variations that are unique to you. These are then used to analyze and build a nutritional formulation exclusively for you, by your unique genetic code, built into your DNA. Utrition takes the guesswork out of which vitamins and supplements to take by using your DNA, which can reveal your body’s precise nutritional requirements. Those nutritional requirements are then used to create your own precise nutritional formula.

Empowering youth in sport skills, pro-social skills, and motor skills provides them with confidence in themselves and their abilities to do well in life. The confidence they build to try something new, possibly fail, try again, and succeed is a trait that will grow and blossom in their most important years of development and stay with them for a lifetime. Sportball builds confidence in children that they are capable of anything and the organization understands that everyone learns at different rates and has different abilities that should be celebrated.

Are your feet ready for summer? Pedicures are the perfect way to help your feet look their best especially with sandal season now underway. It is not all about looks. Pedicures help your feet stay healthy. During a pedicure, calluses that can cause infection and pain are removed. Signs of nail disease can be detected and stopped before becoming problematic. A pedicure includes a foot and leg massage which can help relieve tension in your muscles and joints. Treat yourself to a pedicure, guilt-free, for your health and wellbeing.

Be Still…with Reiki!

Reiki is a gentle but powerful energy healing technique used for relaxation, stress reduction and balance that can promote healing on many levels. It is typically given by ‘laying on of hands’ as you lie on a massage table fully clothed. This higher frequency, positive energy flows through the hands of the practitioner into your energy field releasing ‘energy blockages’ by lifting and transforming lower frequency energies such as worry, fear, anger and anxiety. The deep relaxation experienced with Reiki can have many beneficial effects including more calm/stillness to the body & mind, better sleep, reduced stress & pain and reduction of overwhelm and anxiety.
