Hot flashes. Insomnia. Mood swings. Brain fog.

Metta partner Annick Barker presents:
When hormones shift, it feels like everything else does too. Please join us for this 6-session group, where we'll be talking about the impact of perimenopause on your health, your relationships, your work, how you think & feel about yourself & how to cope with it all. The group will be small - we're limiting it to 8 people.

The fee is $275 for the series (payment options available). Metta members receive a 10% discount!

For more information or to register, contact Annick directly at 443-961-7950 or annick@annickbarker.com (Please note: you must be in the State of Maryland to join the group)

On August 1st, Metta Integrative Wellness Center will become a worker-owned cooperative! The new owners, (therapists you already know) are committed to preserving the essence of Metta as we know it – but there will be some changes...
⠀
Here’s what you can expect:
⠀
1) Rates for our integrative therapeutic massage will remain the same. Some of our most senior therapists will be increasing their rates for massage and other services.
⠀
2) We will reintroduce a massage membership to benefit those who visit us monthly or more.
⠀
3) There will be NO exceptional changes to our staff or their schedules. (But we hope to be growing soon, so you may see some new faces.)
⠀
4) Our website will re-launch, but our booking system will remain the same. Link in bio.
⠀
5) Some unused gift certificates and credits WILL EXPIRE. Please see details (link in bio) if you wish to preserve your funds.
⠀
Visit https://msha.ke/mettacoop/ to read more about our cooperatively owned business. We look forward to continuing to see you in our new chapter!

Dear Beloved Metta Family,

I know many of you have been wondering about our status as we have been quietly considering our options during this emotionally and financially complicated time. We greatly appreciate your patience as we have been slowly moving through the decision making process around re-opening in a limited capacity at our Avenue location.
In many ways it feels like authentic face-to-face connection has never been more needed, and we are so excited to be gearing up to bring safe and caring touch therapy to our community once again!
Please check out the link below for a detailed message about all of the safety precautions we are taking as well as some other changes we have made at Metta. We so look forward to seeing you in the coming days weeks and months!

Here’s this link to all the info-
