Have you tried our TAJ mat yet?!
💎TAJ stands for Tourmaline, Amethyst & Jade which is what the mat is made of. These gemstones are effective conductors of infrared heat that reaches deeper than conventional heating pads.
☀️The mat also offers red light therapy which is especially helpful in our climate & winter season and supports skin and connective tissue health
🧲And of course my personal favorite feature - Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) which supports the body’s natural healing processes and has been approved by the FDA for healing bone.
💆‍♂️The mat is complimentary with all therapeutic massages. Just let us know in the notes when booking your appointment. (Subject to medical restrictions)

BOTANICA IS NO LONGER AT THE BLOOMFIELD!

All future appointments will be in our new location inside the
Commonwealth Commerce Center
Suite 256a
on the second floor,
nearest the WEST entrance.

The SOUTH entrance is where you will park and enter the building to take the elevator. There will be a waiting area in the hallway outside of our suite.

Don't worry, we haven't gone too far!

I know, I know, many of you were told that I wasn't going to move again for another 3 years...wellll... that didn't turn out as expected.

In a short version, I've been forced to terminate my lease after excessive flood damage that was not addressed since the first major flooding event in mid June. After catching (soo many) buckets of rainwater during hurricane Beryl and experiencing more ceiling damage from flooding from the roof and storefront window, it became very obvious there was no plan to fix any of it. I never heard another word from management and no one ever showed up to do any kind of remediation of the damage.

With the threat of mold, mildew and asbestos, I knew it was time to leave and to leave QUICKLY. I have never moved a business so unexpectedly and urgently, so please bare with me as I get it all situated!

I appreciate everyone's support & understanding, especially to anyone who had to reschedule in the last few weeks due to the ongoing situation.

The schedule will be opening back up with more availability in the next week. I will be reaching out to those who had to reschedule first, but check back at a later date or use waitlist feature if you're trying to get something scheduled.

Thank you so much for your patience & cooperation!

Be Well
~ Danielle Barski, LMT

Many people don’t realize that massage therapists are trained in anatomy, clinical reasoning and a variety of manual therapy techniques. These techniques produce biochemical and neurophysiological effects that can reduce pain and help the body recover. Safe and natural approaches to pain mitigation are so important since chronic pain is common among adults. Chronic pain and injuries alter one’s lifestyle and affect their quality of life. In fact, 85% of those with chronic pain develop depression. Many clients of ours have had back surgeries and severe life altering injuries. The relief they get from each session makes us an important part of their symptom management and improved quality of life. Book your session today (before rates increase!) and experience the effects of integrative massage therapy.

We strive for a high level of excellence and standard of care and we hope every client recognizes that.

The work we do isn’t easy by any means, but many of you make it feel like it is! We are so grateful for your support and that you chose us to support your journey to wellness 🫶🖖

✨Magnesium is crucial to overall health and plays an important role in chronic pain and physical recovery. Magnesium levels can get depleted during times of stress, illness & injury and from consumption of caffeine and alcohol. When used topically, magnesium chloride directly targets the muscles, tendons & ligaments where it is applied, differing from oral supplementation. Topical magnesium is a useful option for treating repetitive strain injuries, nerve related conditions, and during recovery from surgery, injury and illness. Apply to tired feet at bedtime and see if it helps you sleep 💤

🍞🤎I highly encourage baking your own bread. It’s easy, satisfying and much healthier than store bought options. Check out one of these sourdough workshops and maybe you’ll see me there!

This summer we are partnering with the Jackson District Library to host Sourdough Saturdays at all of the JDL branch locations.
At this event we will talk about the benefits of sourdough. We will hopefully be able to answer all the questions you have about starting your own sourdough journey. We will be demonstrating how to mix dough and how to feed your starter. You will walk away with your very own piece of DoughNation Sourdough Starter that will eliminate the task of developing your own starter, but we will discuss how that process works in case you want to try starting your very own.
Contact your local JDL branch to sign up.

🌳 Tree oils & resins: Elemi essential oil

Elemi essential oil is steam distilled from the resin of Canarium Luzonicum, a tall tropical tree native to the Philippines, that grows up to one hundred feet tall.

Elemi has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory & analgesic qualities and has been traditionally used for skin care, respiratory health, musculoskeletal support & in spiritual practices.

It is rich in monoterpenes (like Limonene) and similar to Frankincense. It makes a great addition to your moisturizer, toner or added to a salt bath. It blends well with citrus oils, Lavender, Rosemary and Frankincense, to name a few.

⚠️Make sure to use proper dilutions when using essential oils and keep away from children & pets!!

Elemi essential oil is steam-distilled from the resin of a very tall tropical tree that grows up to one hundred feet tall. It is native to the Philippine Islands and the Moluccas (a group of islands in Indonesia), where it is also cultivated.
