Society has a way of compelling and influencing us to think and behave in ways by default that aren’t necessarily healthy and helpful.

Coming across this insightful graph I realized when it came to relationships I had to learn the skills in the second pie chart on my own with the help of a book or from a friend pointing me in the right direction.

In a follow-up post later this week I’ll briefly explain the importance of each the 5 areas on the chart and some tips and resources for actualizing these goals.

Good news! Acupuncture for migraine reduction works!!

In a systematic review of 22 studies done by Cochrane Library researchers, it was found that people who had migraines six days per month on average before starting treatment reduced to 3 and a half days with acupuncture. In the placebo acupuncture and prophylactic drug groups frequency reduced to 4 days. Those in the usual care group reduced to only 5 days of migraines. The acupuncture group had their days of migraines nearly halved!

The review also showed that the therapeutic effects of acupuncture was still present after 6 months and a minimum of 6 treatments were needed to obtain these results.

Suffering from migraines or tension headaches? Consider booking a session to live more pain free!

L+A Healing Studio to Reopen JUNE 1st!

I'm pleased to report that Illinois is projected to enter Phase 3 of Restoration by May 29th, which means coronavirus infection rates, hospitalizations and demand for ICU beds are stabilizing or declining. This will allow manufacturing, offices, retail and services, including hair salons, to reopen. So let's continue to practice social distancing, good hygiene, and immune enhancing nutrition to keep the ball rolling!

And so with that, L+A Healing Studio plans to reopen on Mon June 1st.

No doubt this has been a very stressful and uncertain time. I'm glad things are starting to stabilize, and that we, at the Studio, will soon be available to help you de-stress, recalibrate, and find relief!
