Community is an extension of self care 🤍
When self care comes to mind we oftentimes think of journaling, meditating, healthier food options and exercise. But at Dharma, our founder believes self care extends to the human connections you create and maintain, too.
We’re social creatures- it’s one belief both philosophers and scientists can shake hands on. That means we’re meant to connect. Who and how many people you connect to is up to the individual but there’s a truth that connection builds resiliency, purpose and belonging. It’s a huge indicator to your overall health and wellbeing. In a way, a healthy community is like a healthy immune system.
This week we found our way into Chantelle’s continuing education class. She’s a long practicing educator that brings high quality, local (and zoom options) education for massage therapists and bodyworkers. Shes also been a mentor of ours as we prepare to launch our own classes 🙏 .ed
We spent some time at Deep Wellness dialing down our nervous system in the float float. The sensory deprivation is a favorite treatment of ours and we love all of their staff. (We believe in its power so much we sometimes refer clients there to experience the same benefits.) .center
And, because it’s our founders birthday this week, we had a real treat by having Molly bring her Thai massage skills to the garden. (Think sunset, under a cottonwood tree, with cicadas buzzing and Hermanos Gutierrez playing in the background with a cozy fire) Molly is an incredibly gifted and humble practitioner but you should know this sweet being won the Siouxland Massage Therapy Championship this year. I know she’s honored to carry that title but this gem works even harder to bring a skillfully curated experience to each of her clients.
The Hills are packed with good therapists and therapy and we’re so grateful to be part of that community 🤍✨🙏
