Autumn has arrived, and with it comes a gentle invitation to slow down. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, many of us feel the pull to reconnect with what grounds us—quiet moments, nourishing rituals, and time with the people we love.
This season reminds us of the preciousness of our time. It’s a chance to listen inward, savor simple joys, and create space for deep rest. If you’re feeling called to reset and restore as October begins, here are a few offerings we recommend:

✨ Seasonal Facial Special – Glow into fall with a personalized facial, crafted with Eminence Organics and Circadia products to renew your skin and spirit. Enjoy 10% off Monday through Friday all month long.

✨ Hungarian Moor Mud Body Wrap – A deeply detoxifying and grounding treatment that draws out tension while replenishing hydration—perfect for seasonal transition.

✨ Therapeutic Massage – Release what you’ve been holding, ease into stillness, and return to balance with the help of our skilled massage therapists.

This October, carve out time to restore your rhythm. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you. 🌿

Protect your skin beyond the sun with Circa-Shield Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30! This powerhouse sunscreen does more than block UVA and UVB rays—it shields your skin from blue light emitted by digital devices, helps prevent oxidative stress, and forms a physical barrier against environmental aggressors.

Daily screen time can accelerate aging by generating free radicals that break down collagen, resulting in wrinkles and loss of elasticity. It can also trigger hyperpigmentation, causing dark spots and an uneven tone, and weaken your skin’s natural barrier, leading to increased dryness and inflammation.

With the Circadia Circa-Shield, your skin gets superior protection and support, keeping it healthy, resilient, and radiant—even in front of screens.

True relaxation begins with presence. When was the last time you allowed yourself to fully inhabit your senses, to be completely aware of this very moment? Try this:

👣 Feel the earth beneath your feet, grounding you in stability.
🌿 Inhale the fresh air or your favorite essential oil, letting the scent awaken and soothe you.
🧘‍♀️ Breathe deeply, drawing life into your body, and exhale tension you no longer need.
💆‍♀️ Release everything except this moment, letting your mind and body become one with the now.

When you are truly present, your nervous system relaxes, your mind becomes clearer, and your body enters a state of restoration.

Now booking by request - Energy Balancing with Shura G*t 🕊️

Shura is a Certified Advanced Practitioner of Eden Energy Medicine who has been immersed in energy healing since 1995. Her approach centers on creating welcoming, affirming spaces for healing, honoring the uniqueness of each individual, their identities, and their journey.

A lifelong learner, she brings curiosity, compassion, presence, and honed intuition to each session.

This gentle, restorative, session begins with a brief and thoughtful conversation about your physical, emotional, and energetic state. As you rest comfortably clothed on a massage table, the therapist uses a combination of hands-on techniques, crystals, and Himalayan singing bowls to assess and shift energy patterns. Rooted in a deep respect for your body’s wisdom, each energy balancing session is a unique co-creation during which you are welcome to dialogue or rest quietly. Sessions conclude with a reflection on insights gained and personalized self-care practices to support ongoing energetic goals, such as an improved ability to manage stress, better sleep, greater resilience or reduced pain.
