I have for years honored this period of the year for a "long winters rest". It just seems so natural, so necessary, to do so, in contrast to the often frenzied pursuits from days of yore. So while I'll attend to any select matters, now through January 4 is time to disengage, do deeper self care, reflection, restoration.

I wish for anyone who needs this time, themselves, to go for it!

A few people have asked about this 🙂. We're getting a renovated porch! Crew out there now working. Of course, it will be spring before all is ready. I'm looking forward to doing a one -day a week Tea Porch, to share herbal teas, share a little respite on the porch, bring back the comfy easy chairs ,tables, and so on. I have so many unique tea blends to share. This will be just lovely when done! 💐 And yes we still have safe entry doors!

CASTOR OIL MUSCLE AND VISCERAL PACKS - $135.00

This is an amazing, full session of several castor oil packs applied to various muscle and visceral areas, for a sustained and therapeutic amount of time. Once they are in place, I may be able to do foot or cranial work while they work. Benefits include ease of muscular and visceral restrictions , nervous system support, and immune system care,.

GINGER KIDNEY POULTICE may be added to this bodywork session.

​Clients will notice obvious ease of restrictions in orthopedic areas. I employ this treatment for intestinal, pelvic, liver/gallbladder, and pectoral issues.
Adding one Castor Oil Pack to a regular massage session: $15 .

I have Certification through my own massage and Naturopathic Diploma Training in Hydrotherapy, and it is an effective Naturopathic Physical Medicine treatment sustaining use for decades. Personally, for my own care, I am never without my Castor Oil Pack supplies when I need an application!
Castor oil packs are warming and comfortable, sustaining to the nervous system, may miraculously ease muscle restriction, are employed to support the colon , liver and other viscera which may be sluggish and compromised- truly a manifestation of Naturopathic Physical Medicine.
