The Full-Body Benefits of Massage

Massage is best known for easing muscle tension, but its impact reaches far beyond that. Increased circulation from massage supports the body in clearing metabolic waste from tissue damage and inflammation, while also improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells.

Massage can also:

*Support digestion
*Reduce blood pressure
*Calm the body’s stress response

It’s a holistic practice that nurtures both body and mind.

Do you wait for s*x to spontaneously happen with your partner? You’re not alone. Sometimes a sudden spark can lead to connection and pleasure. Other times, desire grows in response to quality time, romantic gestures, or non-s*xual touch. These reflect the two types of s*xual desire: spontaneous desire and responsive desire—both of which can support intimacy and fulfillment.

S*x therapy can help you and your partner build awareness of your desire type(s), strengthen intimacy, and navigate challenges related to s*xual desire or s*xual functioning.

Because intimacy doesn’t exist in isolation, couples therapy also supports partners in improving communication, practicing vulnerability, sharing perspectives, and resolving conflict—skills that strengthen both emotional closeness and s*xual connection.

🚿✨ What’s hiding in your hair care?

Your scalp absorbs so much more than you think… and some products load it up with:

🚫 Parabens → Hormone disruptors + skin irritation
🚫 Sulfates → Strips natural oils, dries out hair
🚫 Phthalates → Linked to hormone + reproductive issues
🚫 Synthetic Fragrances → Hidden chemicals that trigger allergies + headaches

💡 Your scalp is one of the most absorbent parts of your body — what goes on your hair goes into your body.

🌱✨ Ready to switch to cleaner hair care?
Here’s what to search for when shopping:

🔍 “Clean shampoo + conditioner”
🔍 “Sulfate-free hair care”
🔍 “Paraben-free hair products”
🔍 “Phthalate-free styling products”
🔍 “Fragrance-free hair care”
🔍 “Organic hair products”
🔍 “Vegan + cruelty-free hair care”

🌿 Your hair (and body!) will thank you. 💆‍♀️✨

Is Your Child Struggling With Any of the Following?

• Feeling worried or anxious most of the time
• Low energy or always feeling tired
• Trouble focusing at school or home
• Difficulty falling or staying asleep
• Losing interest in favorite activities
• Feeling sad, hopeless, or down
• Talking about wanting to die or harm themselves
• Scary or upsetting thoughts or memories
• Negative thoughts about themselves
• Startling easily or feeling on edge
• Big emotions, irritability, or frequent outbursts
• Struggling to get along with family or friends
• Repetitive thoughts, urges, or behaviors that feel hard to control

Our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners can help your child and family explore treatment options—often a combination of medication and therapy—to support emotional health and resilience.

We often see the best outcomes when psychiatry and counseling work hand-in-hand. If your child isn’t currently working with a therapist, we’d be glad to connect you with one of our caring counselors:

Food is Fuel – But Also Medicine

Did you know that what you eat directly impacts your mood, energy, and even how well you sleep?

🍓 Nourishing foods = Nourishing body & mind

🧠 Whole foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants give your body the tools it needs to thrive—supporting everything from digestion to brain health.

🥕 Small shifts make a big difference
Adding one extra serving of veggies, swapping soda for water, or having a protein-rich breakfast can boost your energy and help you feel more balanced throughout the day.

Remember: Nutrition isn’t about perfection. It’s about making choices that support your health, one meal at a time.
