Winter is not a time for doing.
It is a time for dreaming, inventing, & reimagining.
It is a time to turn inward, to be cozy, to contemplate.

Of course, the world and our jobs and all the other things we need to attend to don’t stop in winter - but when you do have time for yourself, don’t feel pressure to be as active or productive as you were in summer.

TIPS FOR WINTER:

🔹SLEEP: more!

🔹EAT: warm! Raw foods are for summer - minimize them in winter (or choose only easy-to-digest ones like salad greens). Roasted vegetables, stews, soups, sweet potatoes, and squash are the way to go. Baking, steaming, or slow-cooking are the most nourishing and warming cooking methods for winter.

🔹EXERCISE: with intention. While cardio is still important in winter, take this time to focus on weight training, yoga, or other slower-moving, focused practices. Try to get outside at least once a day during daylight hours— most people are vitamin D deficient in the winter, and sunlight helps to boost mood and energy.

🔹INNER WORK: prioritize mental and emotional health. In the winter, trees shed their leaves and pull their energy inward. We do the same - and sometimes we find it uncomfortable to be in our own internal world.
There’s no one-size-fits-all for mental and emotional health… but chances are, you know what feels healing to you: a walk outside (even if it’s cold), laughing with friends, exploring with a therapist, relaxing into a massage, ice skating, playing music, cooking a meal, cleaning a closet, reading a book… take your time, whatever form it takes.

Nature looks different in each season and we too are nature: be sure to vary your routines, food, and exercise habits with each season.

And remember, every season has its own flavor of magic and fun ☃️

Scenes from a session:
Cupping with Jada
🔥
We offer both fire cupping and non-fire cupping (using a plastic suction device), but both have the same function: breaking up knots in the fascia, increasing circulation, and relieving pain.
🔥
Cupping can be included for free in any bodywork or acupuncture session, or can be booked as a standalone treatment (link in bio to book).
🔥
Thank you to for the photos!
