Getting to know your massage therapist: Elana Carr

I think the last month of summer is always my favorite. Although, Ive been spending a tad bit much much time indoors because I'm still working on organizing and decluttering at home and at Mosaic. Over the weekend, I gave our kitchen at Mosaic some fresh paint, did some organizing and a drop off at Savers and stained the sliding door of our couples room. I love projects like that that are quick and rewarding.

I’m going to try to make myself take a pause from being in my project mode and get some more beach days in and finish our farm scavenger hunt, which we’ve been doing this summer. It has been a great motivator for us to get to go to different farms that I’ve never been to before, many I’ve never heard of before.

There’s 26 farms on the list and they give you all year to visit them, shop their local goods and get a sticker from each place on your map. Me and my girls have been enjoying these little ventures to farms in all corners of our state. (I guess technically I’m not a Rhode Islander since I moved to Swansea a couple years ago, but I always will be at heart). I picked up our scavenger hunt map at Arrudas Dairy Farm in Tiverton, they might still have some left.

rifb.org/rhode-island-farm-scavenger-hunt (https://rifb.org/rhode-island-farm-scavenger-hunt/)

This week our spotlight will be on our massage therapist Elana Carr. She started at Mosaic June 2024. I don’t think I was officially hiring at the time, but it was perfect timing that Nicole Archambault, who used to be one of our massage therapist connected us because they worked together at Bohdi Spa.

Because of Elana and her determination, we have facials offered at Mosaic, which is a dream come true. She left her own massage studio in Providence that she had opened, to work with us as her full time. She brings a lot to the team, and I feel so blessed to have her with us.

I know that you will feel encouraged reading her answers to the interview questions, like I did.

Elana's Interview:

One person you miss and think about often:
My Dad, he passed away in October of last year. I see signs of him often that he’s still with me and my family. He had an adventurous side and a love for nature that he passed down to me and my brother.

What's your Myers Briggs personalty type?
ISFJ (introverted, observant, feeling, judging)

*This is Meagan adding things I'm reading about this personality type which checks out. Known as the "Defender" personality type. Efficient, responsible, gives careful attention to details. Hardworking, devoted, sensitive, caring, loyal, perfectionist, humble, dedicated, thoughtful, and have a deeply social nature.

What do you consider your biggest accomplishment?
My greatest accomplishment has been building a career in Massage Therapy where I can help people, and feel truly fulfilled in the work I do, while still being able to raise a family.

If you could only use one essential oil for the rest of your career which one would it be?
Lavender (but if I could add 2 drops of Vanilla to the lavender I’d be set for life.)

One "life hack" that you've tried and it works:
Changing your perspective. I put this into practice this week after having some unfavorable circumstances occur. I promise you it turned my week around to change my thoughts into positive ones.
If you’re not into mindset hacks, here's a more practical one: I recommend rolling your lemons and limes on the counter before cutting them to maximize the amount of juice you can squeeze out of them.

Fun family tradition:
Camping and family beach days. My girls love to fish as a family too.

Small goals for this year:
I’d like to finish and follow through on some of the accomplishments I’ve started this year. One being to launch my meditation massage treatment I created.

Massage training that you’re planning on taking this year:
I’m interested in taking a stretch class so I can incorporate more stretching into my massages.

One new tool you've added to your wellness tool belt:
Morning stretch and a gratitude journal.

Favorite way to wind down after a long day of massaging:
Taking a ride to the beach or taking a walk.

Book you're reading:
I’m currently waiting for the book: The let them theory

I loved how she was able to turn her rough week around ,after changing her thought pattern. Still the same circumstances but she was able to see the good and the blessings in the unexpected, not so good things that happened.

It reminds me of a verse in the Bible Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind"

and Philippians 4:8 "Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things."

Whether or not you hold the Bible as truth, there’s no denying that our minds are so powerful and if you can change your thoughts, you really do change your life. This can apply to relationships as well. Its so easy to start picking someone apart but if we start looking for the positives, we'll find that there's many.

My challenge to you this week is to think of someone who you are truly grateful for and tell them (in person, text, card, letter). I’ve had friends do this for me and I always will remember it and the thoughtfulness behind taking the time to express that.

I hope you all have a wonderful week and remember to count your blessings and fixate on gratitude. Like Elana said it can really turn everything around.

Getting to know: Jamie Boiani LMT

The summer is rolling on with its long fun days at the beach and tending to our garden. I harvested carrots today for the first time which were nothing like I've ever seen. If anyone has gardening tips, I'm all ears.

Today, we celebrate my daughter’s 2nd birthday at the zoo, so so fun! It was a joy filled and mildly hectic day, the kind that you don't realized wiped you out until you get home and want to crawl into bed while the sun is still up. It reminded me of the importance of self-care amidst all the excitement. I might have to book a massage this week.

I'm happy to introduce one of our amazing massage therapists, Jamie Boiani for anyone who hasn't met her yet. She started at Mosaic almost 3 years ago. She is such a genuine person, generous, and hardworking. Our interview was pretty concise, short and sweet (I'm sure due to the fact that she's a dedicated mother of two young children and time is precious).



Interview : Jamie Boiani

-What's your Myers Briggs personality type?

"INTJ"

-What do you consider your biggest accomplishment?

Making a career as a medical massage therapist at the VA and publishing evidence based science on how massage therapy is medically beneficial. Being a part of our Veterans Care is an honor to me. Im currently working on how massage therapy can be beneficial for chronic pain as maintenance. Instead of taking an ibuprofen, medical massage therapy could be prescribed. That's my goal! This excites me for the future of massage therapy in the medical field.

-If you could only use one essential oil for the rest of your career which one would it be?

"Vanilla"

-One "life hack" that you've tried and it works

"Duct Tape for everything"

-Fun family tradition

"Camping"

-Small goals for this year

"Traveling"

-Massage training that you’re planning on taking this year

"Becoming a certified Lymphedema Specialist."

-One new tool you've added to your wellness tool belt

"Foam rolling"

-Favorite way to wind down after a long day of massaging

"swimming in the ocean or hiking in the woods"



I'm confident that if everyone did more of loving their families well, going in the ocean, hiking in the woods, and camping (like Jamie) the world would be a better place. Nature is God's gift to us (minus mosquitos). I hope you all have a great week and set aside some un-rushed time to spend outside.
I forgot that I had wanted to give you all a relationship challenge every week. So that's my challenge for you: go for a hike, bike ride, or beach walk with a friend or family member.

Be well and have a great week!

Vacation week - coming to an end

This week I'm in Quebec City with my nieces and daughters, a different take on a girls trip. We've been having so much fun despite all the toddler meltdowns.

I didn't do research and planning for this trip besides booking our airbnbs and talking to clients who have been there. Everything has been a delightful surprise! It's a gorgeous city and so much to do just outside the city as well. We've done a bunch of hiking, seen a massive waterfall(Montmorency), a canyon, a marsh, gone on a ferry ride, ate lunch at a cat cafe, went on rides at an actual amusement park inside of a mall and lots of other adventures that my daughters won't remember(but I will). If you haven't been, its worth the 6-7 hour drive!

If I'm able to give deeper pressure when I get back from this trip, its because this week my arms have gotten the hardest training I've ever had. I forgot the baby carrier so my arms have been the baby carrier (she hates a stroller) and yesterday we did over 18,000 steps.

Next Sunday we'll be picking back up with our massage therapist interviews, getting to learn a bit about LMT Jamie Boiani.

Have a great week!

Getting to know your LMT- Rachel Neimic

August is here! I'll be leaving to go on a little roadtrip this week but you are all in the best hands and my hubby will be holding down the fort with all the background invisible labor. I'll still be answering the phones, emails, texts though but if I'm ever slow to answer this week, thats why.

This week of our relationship topic from the INN circle of life will be spot lighting Rachel Neimic who has been melting stress away at Mosaic 5 days a week for over 3 years now! I have known Rachel I think around 6 years now because she was my client for at least a few years before I was able to wear her down and get her to join our team haha. To know her is to love her. I hope if you haven't met her yet, that you will soon. Have fun reading her answers to my interview questions!

LMT INTERVIEW:

One person you miss and think about often

My grandmother. She passed about a year and a half ago. She grew up in tiverton on middle ave... or st? 🤔 haha. I think about her a lot when I drive to work, imagining her running up and down Main Street as a girl.

What's your Myers Briggs personalty type?

INTJ. I took the test twice, once in 6th grade and once in my mid twenties. Both times INTJ. About 98% introverted, anything more is clinical haha.

Reading about my MBTI as an adult really changed my life because I’ve had some huge struggles in life that the Meyers Briggs taught me was actually quite normal for my personality.

For example, the INTJ death stare. Apparently this is quite common and I’ve done it my whole life, just stare at people with an intense glare. Totally weird I know.

Depending on which information you read, the female INTJ is the rarest personality type and that in and of itself explained a lot to me. I’ve always felt like an outsider with my peers and that makes sense, if my personality is less than 1% of the population of course I’d be misunderstood by many. And that’s alright! I’ve grown to love being a female INTJ!!

What do you consider your biggest accomplishment?

Becoming a massage therapist. I finished a demanding program with a 3.8 GPA, received the academic achievement award and had zero student loans. Through the massage therapy field, I’ve learned how to heal myself and strengthen my spirit. This has profoundly impacted my treatments and I try to give as much of that knowledge to my clients as possible.

If you could only use one essential oil for the rest of your career which one would it be?

Eucalyptus.

One "life hack" that you've tried and it works

If I had them I’d be thriving and not just surviving 😂

Fun family tradition

Fourth of July cookout, on July 3rd.

Small goals for this year

To give my cat the best possible life I can. She is getting older and I don’t know how much longer I’ll have her and every moment I want to show her how much I love her and how thankful I am to have her. She changed my life and she taught me how to be strong and resilient. I found her outside about 5-6 years ago and watching her transform has been the most beautiful experience.

Massage training that you’re planning on taking this year

Exploring energy work.

One new tool you've added to your wellness tool belt

Abdominal work. The root of a lot of evil resides in our stomachs/abdominal region. Working on my own abdominal has been life changing and I try to get as many clients to explore/consider it as possible.

Favorite way to wind down after a long day of massaging

A 45 minute shower.

Book you're reading

The seven spiritual laws of success by Deepak Chopra.

I'm probably not alone this, but I was surprised that Rachel is a fellow introvert. So far all 3 of us who've answered these questions are introverts, might be a massage therapist prerequisite lol. If you've met her, you know already that she's very fun and friendly. But that goes to show you that introversion/extroversion doesn't necessarily mean the same as shy/outgoing.

Thanks for reading, I hope you all have a great week! I'll see you when I'm back, hopefully a bit recharged (but i will not be getting a break from mom-ing so chances are slim).

Getting to know your LMT - Vanessa Botelho

I'm having a hard time believing we're in the last week of July, especially because that means my August baby will be 2 very soon!

This is our third week on the topic of relationships. We all know it is well worth it to put effort towards building relationships with people. I don't really think I need to do any convincing on that but I'd like to give you an attainable challenge each week to encourage you to foster healthy relationships.
Challenge: If there's anyone that comes to mind who you haven’t talked to you in a while but you think about, send them a text today to check on them and make actual plans on the calendar to hang out.

Today we are highlighting Vanessa Botelho, who was one of my clients just one time before starting as one of our massage therapists. I was getting ready to go on an extended trip to the Dominican Republic to spend time with my sister who was living there at the time and to also visit my long distance boyfriend (who is now my husband) and once I found out she was also a Massage therapist, I threw it out there that I could use some extra hands at Mosaic. That was 8 years ago! She has been with me ever since bringing her enthusiasm, quick wit and humor to the team.
This was fun to get to hear her answers to these questions and get to know her even more.

Interview:

One person you miss and think about often:

"I miss my brother, I don’t get to annoy him as much as I use to."

What's your Myers Briggs personalty type?

"INFP (introverted, intuitive, feeling, prospecting)"

What do you consider your biggest accomplishment?

"Giving birth to my son."

If you could only use one essential oil for the rest of your career which one would it be?

"This is hard one, it’s between Patchouli and Vanilla. But I’ll go with Pachouli because it reminds me of being outside when the weather is best."

One "life hack" that you've tried and it works

"I put a white board on my fridge and write down every ingredient or left over (I skip condiments). It’s really helped cut down on food waste."

Fun family tradition

"We use to do “Fakes Giving” it was a turkey dinner in either February or July. July one was my favorite because we would also have lobster and potato salad."

Small goals for this year

"To get back on the mats grappling (jujitsu) and hopefully get a stripe on my belt."

Massage training that you’re planning on taking this year

"Either aishiatsu or Thai Yoga Massage."

One new tool you've added to your wellness tool belt

"Diaphragmatic breathing, really helps my whole body feel better."

Favorite way to wind down after a long day of massaging

"Going for a walk and endlessly talking to my partner while we scroll through memes."

Book you're reading

"Women in Clothes by Heidi Julavits, Leanne Shapton, and Sheila Heti"

*I would have liked to include a photo of Vanessa but I'm not tech savvy and have been having trouble uploading photos on here so you'll just have to book in with her this week to put a face to the name if you haven't met her yet haha

Have a great week! I hope you have some outdoor fun squeezed into your schedule. Im planning on blueberry picking at Berry Hill Farm in Westport
townfarmtonics.com

See you soon :)

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MOSAIC TEAM

Happy Sunday everyone!

Im just going to jump right to it because I'm letting my daughters watch Paw Patrol while I'm writing this but I have a screen time timer on.
So going back to our "circle of life" we're on the subject of relationships. We all know how much good healthy relationships can add to our lives and even to our longevity and boost our immune systems (since our stress response system is connected to our immune system).

I'm sure most of you have heard of the "Blue Zones" those 5 regions of the world that hold the most amount of people living to over 100 years old (Okinawa- Japan, Sardinia - Italy, Nicoya -Costa Rica, Ikaria - Greece, Loma Linda - California)
One of the cornerstones for their long lives is social connection and community, a sense of belonging. They have strong family ties and participate in social activities with friends especially like minded people(such as a church or volunteer group).

To have a village, you have to be a villager. You have to show up for people when invited and help when you can. Obviously sometimes we cant be everywhere and can get stretched thin but to be someone people can count on, ultimately benefits us too because our village will be there when we need it. As an introvert, sometimes I have to force myself to go to social activities and I'm always glad I did after.

As promised each week for the next 6 weeks we'll have a written interview with one of our team members. I'm going to kick it off by interviewing myself, thats not weird right? haha. Here we go...

One person who you miss and think about often
my late gramma Carol Sencabaugh, obviously because I wrote my whole email last week about her which wasn't my plan when I sat down to type lol We were kindred spirits (she wrote that one time in a book she gave me)

What's your Myers Briggs personalty type?
"INFP (introverted, intuitive, feeling, prospecting) sensitive, creative, empathetic, spontaneous, strong values."

What do you consider your biggest accomplishment?
" Becoming a mother. Everything else I've done pales in comparison to being the vessel that brought souls into existence and getting to be the one to build up and guide those people"

If you could only use one essential oil for the rest of your career which one would it be?
"Chamomile, its so warm and comforting and reminds me of my time living in Spain when I first started drinking chamomile tea because the kids who I worked as an aupair for, used to drink it after school everyday."

One "life hack" that you've tried and it works
"If you have weeds growing on a stone path or through cement, sprinkle baking soda and then boiling hot water, wait 24 hours and it will be all dried up and easy to pull out and they wont come back the rest of the season."

Fun family tradition
"Birthday breakfast at midnight. I come from a family of night owls"

Small goals for this year
"Knitting a scarf, working out more consistently, going on dates with my husband and going to bed at a more reasonable hour"

Massage training you are planning on taking this year
"a more advanced lymphatic drainage course. detoxing the drainage pathways is something Ive very interested in, in our environment of micro-plastics and heavy metals."

One new tool you've added to your wellness tool belt
"Ive started taking a supplement by Primal Queen
primalqueen.com
which is meant to help balance hormones and improve energy. Its too soon to tell, but I think I am feeling less bloated and less brain fog. (Not getting paid for this because I don't know how to do that haha)"

Favorite way to wind down after a long day of massaging
"Going to the beach with my daughters and even better if my sisters and their kids or friends come too."

Book you're reading
"The Bible, currently in the book of Philippeans. I'm reading by using a new testament in a year reading plan called The Bible Recap
thebiblerecap.com/start (https://www.thebiblerecap.com/start)
on the you version app. I highly recommend it, its helped me to more deeply understand the history and context behind what I'm reading and holds my short attention span.

If you read all the way down here, I hope you have a great week and check your email next Sunday to read Vanessa's interview answers!

Relationships

Hello! I had a really full day yesterday, hosting my nieces' birthday party at my house. It was my favorite kind of day just being in the moment with the people near and dear to my heart, laughing, enjoying each other's company, eating good food.

We're moving from our topic on the wheel of life, that was home-cooking, onto relationships. In the wake of those tragic floods in Texas, I've been thinking about the fragility of life a lot and how important my family and friends are to me. The reality we all know, but easily forget is that tomorrow isn't promised, and accepting that truth can really help anyone to get their priorities in order.

One of my most treasured possessions is a journal I have from maybe 12 years ago. In it is my grandmother's memoire. For her birthday one year I sat down and wrote every question that popped into my head that I wanted to ask her and then for the next year or two we would sit down together and I'd ask her some of the questions and write down her responses.

Her life could be made into a movie, from being brought to an orphanage as a baby and bouncing around to a few different families before being adopted by her loving parents in Minneapolis when she was 7. Her father was a chiropractor/reflexologist/professor which I'm sure was rare back then. As a young adult, she traveled and lived all across the United States and her last decade and a half was spent surrounded by love at my parents house.

Even before she moved into our home, we were always very close. My daughters didn't get to meet her but they sing the songs that she made up and used to sing to us on car rides. She loved to travel and whenever me or my siblings went on a trip she wanted to see all the photos and hear about every detail. As much as she was fun-loving, she was always a worker bee(my grampa used to call her "Sarge") and I was influenced by her ability to overcome obstacles.

She lived through so many unimaginable tragedies(including 5 of her children passing away during her lifetime, having a rare autoimmune disease, and surviving breast cancer) but remained warm, funny, generous and joyful. It was really fun and meaningful for both of us to spend time together writing in the journal and I am so glad I did that before she went to her eternal home in 2018. She was my biggest cheerleader and I remember her encouraging me to write, I know she would be proud of me even just with writing these emails.

Everyone has such complex and beautiful stories, if we're curious enough to listen and ask questions. For the next 6 weeks of emails, I'll do a written interview with each of our members of the Mosaic team (including myself). Im looking forward to getting to know them even more and I hope you'll stick around to see what we can learn from them.

I encourage you to deepen your relationships and not assume that you already know all there is to know about a person. Hope to see you at Mosaic soon!

COLD SWEET TREATS

Hi everyone!

I hope you had a fantastic 4th of July being physically and mentally present with your friends and family.

The long days of summer make for the best memories. And what kind of summer would it be without sweet treats? One thing I’m craving almost everyday in the summer (and I don’t think I’m alone here) is ice-cream, lemonade, popsicles or smoothies. It makes sense to crave cold sweet things when it’s hot out because our bodies are seeking something to cool it down and give a quick burst of energy.

We can still satisfy these cravings in a way that will actually nourish our bodies.

We are so fortunate in our town that right up the hill from us on Stafford Rd, there is a new all fresh and natural smoothie and juice bar called Soul Juice. It’s a small family owned business and they have a great menu of smoothie bowl, smoothies, juices, and wellness shots. Next time you’re craving something refreshing definitely stop over there! (Open Wed-Sun)

souljuiceri.com

Here’s some recipes of cold sweet nourishing treats you can make at home:

PINEAPPLE MINT SORBET

INGREDIENTS

1/2 of a pineapple
1 cup mint (fresh)

-Blend 1/2 of a pineapple and mint in a food processor or blender and put in bowl in freezer (it should take around 2 hours to freeze). Save a few chunks or a ring for garnish, also keep a few mint leaves aside.
-After a couple hours in freezer, blend again. When nicely mixed, place in bowls and garnish each with the remaining chunks and leaves
-Serve immediately or put back in freezer until craved.

SIMPLE BERRY SMOOTHIE

INGREDIENTS

1 frozen banana
1 cup of your favorite type of milk
1 cup frozen berries of your choice (e.g., raspberries, strawberries)
1 tbsp unsweetened coconut shavings
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
(optional) 1 scoop of either protein powder/collagen/beef liver powder

INSTRUCTIONS

-Combine all ingredients in a blender.
-Blend until smooth and creamy- optional to add more nut milk to blend.
-Pour into a glass or bowl and top with coconut shavings, cacao nibs, or berries

MANGO FROZEN YOGURT

INGREDIENTS

4 cups frozen diced mango
1 cup plain Greek yogurt

INSTRUCTIONS

-Let the mango sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before starting.
-Add the mango and yogurt to a food processor.
-Blend until very smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. It may take a minute or so.
(If the mixture is hard to blend, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes or you can add ¼-½ cup water or apple juice, starting with a little liquid at a time. It usually just takes a bit to get going in the food processor, so I would try letting it sit at room temperature or continuing to grind before you add any liquid.)
-Serve immediately or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months until ready to serve. (If serving from frozen, let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften.)

That's all I've got for you today,
Stay cool and hope to see you soon!
