The research linking alcohol to breast cancer is deadly solid: Alcohol, regardless of whether it’s in Everclear or a vintage Bordeaux, is carcinogenic. But boozemakers are working overtime to downplay the link.

Mother Jones reporter, Stephanie Mencimer, has experienced this firsthand.

"I thought I’d done everything right: breastfeeding my children, a careful diet, plenty of exercise. I wasn’t overweight and didn’t have a family history. I bought BPA-free bottles for my filtered water. But on a visit to the radiology department last spring, a pair of red brackets highlighted something worrisome on the ultrasound monitor.

Invasive lobular carcinoma—a malignant breast tumor. This spidery little beast measuring nearly three centimeters meant I had stage 2 cancer.

At 47, I was a decade and a half younger than the median age for breast cancer diagnosis in the United States. Was this just bad luck? Maybe, but the journalist in me was still curious to know: Why me? So I dug into the literature on risk factors to see where I might have fit in.

Then I saw one that gave me pause: alcohol consumption. I’m not a heavy drinker, but like most women I know, I have consumed a lot of alcohol in my lifetime.

I quickly discovered that way back in 1988, the World Health Organization declared alcohol a Group 1 carcinogen, meaning that it’s been proved to cause cancer. There is no known safe dosage in humans, according to the WHO. Alcohol causes at least seven types of cancer, but it kills more women from breast cancer than from any other.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer estimates that for every drink consumed daily, the risk of breast cancer goes up 7 percent."

2025

It's a new year.

For some of us, there's been more than a few of these.

Many of us know, but it's worth being reminded, it's not the years (honey), it's the mileage, made famous by Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Your sessions are purposefully created for your state of being in the moment, for your physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing,

for you to feel connected, grounded, centered, cared for, listened to, heard

for you to feel human

and for you to remember

that in the midst of the passing years, to be kind to yourself, that you matter,

that during this precious time we spend together, you are all that matters.

My sessions take you far from the maddening world, and as far as you can be from pampering'.

In the candlelit warmth of my room, I bring a presence and a curious, thoughtful, sensitive touch that invites a deepening, a place where you can experience your dreambody, where your muscles unwind, your body unfurls and your nervous system resets.

This is optimizing your mileage.

This is my offering to you this year, 2025.
