People talk a LOT about self care, what it is, what it isn’t.

I maintain that self care is not just a thing you do but a way you live. It involves planning for maintenance, survival, and honoring of yourself as a physical, emotional, and spiritual being.

Some forms of self care are spontaneous, others responsibly scripted, and still others can be incorporated as a spiritual practice while caring for our peace of mind and physical and mental health. Those of you whom I have had the pleasure of treating know that I include self care teaching as part of each appointment, whether it is specific physical, spiritual, or emotional practices. Your own health care needs to be handled by YOU, so, in effect, all your real health care should include self care.

I’ve created some new classes which are all about self care and complement the care I provide in the office, preparing you to support your own glorious self to whichever degree you want. The first classes I am introducing are Ancestral Abdominal Massage and Self Care, Breast Health and Self Care, and Self Care Rituals. Each class will allow you to honor self care as part of your daily routines. They involve physical care, herbs, emotional and spiritual care, and rituals you can create and do yourself. Through these classes you will learn to foster and nurture your own health on every level. Ancestral Abdominal Massage and Breast Health Self Care classes also include a private personal bodywork session with me in my office with instruction for your specific self care needs.

Stay tuned…..there is still more to come!
