In about an hour, there will be a worldwide collective meditation to help us move as a planet into a more evolved collective state. Whether or not you dig the new age 'movement', it has been proven many times that mass meditations can have profoundly beneficial effects toward the betterment of mankind. Please consider taking 20-30 minutes out of your day/evening to contribute your focus and intent to this shared effort.

During this outbreak of the Coronavirus, we ask that if you have flu-like symptoms or a lingering cough, that you please reschedule your appointment. Because we see a wide range of patients, we must keep both our guests and our staff safe.

For our monthly members: if you need to skip this month, we will be more than happy to rollover your massages. We will continue to follow this story and keep you updated. Thank you and have a happy Thursday!

By sharing our stories that is how shame and guilt stops. You may be asking, how do I know I’m in a space where we can feel safe sharing in our shame?

The truth is you're never going to have a 100% safety net underneath you when you decide to be vulnerable. Therapy offices are a great space to start. But also, think of friends, family, or partners that you feel that you can be your most vulnerable self with.

Preface the conversation by telling them that you're about to be incredibly brave and vulnerable and ask if they feel comfortable holding space for you in the moments after you share what you'd like to share.

It's certainly not easy, but once you say what you're feeling shame or guilt about out loud, you've taken an incredibly large step forward in not letting that shame have a disproportionate impact on your headspace and your life.

We're rooting for you 💗

April is National Child Abuse Prevention month.

Our number one goal at AOH is for everyone to have the experience of unconditional safe healing touch. Something we feel is too few and far between in our community.

At its core, touch is the fundamental of massage therapy and aesthetics. Since touch can convey so many things, both positive and negative. Our goal is to help those affected by trauma, specifically those affected by domestic and sexual abuse.

Because massage offers safe and healthy touch, we can provide them relief from physical, emotional, and mental stress. They can let go of their stress response, obtain a calmer state of being, and create healthy boundaries.

However, we cannot do this alone; the endowment service allows you to help us help others.

The AOH offers two ways to donate self-care. If you are feeling called to help, you can purchase and donate one of our services to one of the local organizations that help those dealing with trauma. The second way, for every 90-minute massage or spa service that is purchased, we will donate 30 minutes.

Doing what we love and working with local organizations and businesses that share the same vision and commitment, we can offer a sanctuary to relax, recharge, and revive those who don't feel allowed to because they feel guilt, shame, and oppressed.

Lets heal Rowan County. 💞
