As a functional medicine certified health coach, I spend a lot of time making people think. The questions I ask don't have "yes" or "no" answers. We might not get to the true answer in our current session. Lowering your blood pressure, reducing stress, making time for more exercise, or improving nutrition might be part of what you're working on. Those are obvious health goals, but they might not be involved in your goals in any way. A bit less obvious and equally import might be balancing work and personal life because being out of balance is affecting your health. Perhaps you need to work more or less but don't know how to find the proper balance.

My question to myself was, "Why do I feel like this?" Not how do I feel, but why. I'm working a lot. The questions go deeper from there.

Working with someone on our health and wellness requires a degree of vulnerability. A lot of people make themselves vulnerable when they're on one of my massage tables, nearly n**e and covered with a sheet and light blanket. The degree of trust between us is incredible. Others open up their lives to tell me what's wrong in their bodies, why somethings are off, and work through goals and plans to correct issues. I don't at all mind showing you my vulnerabilities.

My work and personal lives are out of balance at the moment, so I'm on a bodywork break. Mentally, I'm ready to go back to work (I'm only on day two of my 12-day break...) in massage and stretching, by my neck and shoulders are not. I absolutely LOVE what I do in massage, but my body needs a rest. I'll be touching up the paint on the studio. Later this morning, and I'll dig holes and plant perennials shrubs and flowers. These are things that make my neck and shoulders ache more. For balance, I'll see Amanda for a deep tissue massage.

I don't have a good balance of work and home life right now. That's caused me to lose a lot of the time I need outdoors to stay physically active, sleep well, and get grounded. There's a balance to this, and I'll figure it out.

Think this through. No answer required here, of course, though you're most welcome to share. In what ways are you out of balance?

Wishing you a great day!

Be well,

Robin

Good morning!

I have book recommendation! whole woman health: A Guide to Creating Wellness for Any Age and Stage by Carrie Levine, CNM (certified nurse midwife) has been in the sauna for months. I leave it there for others to read while they're relaxing.

Carrie is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Her belief in and strong practice in functional medicine is what initially drew me to her. The book is and easy read that's full of information that's easy to understand. If you're interested in understanding more about your body and your health and how different things affect it, this one's for you!

Hello Everyone,

I realized recently how little I share info on Facebook. A fresh introduction is long overdue!

I'm Robin Follette. Most of you know me as a massage therapist and reflexologist. I'm a functional medicine certified health coach - functional nutrition specialist. I trained at Functional Medicine Coaching Academy Inc. After graduation, I continued on to add functional nutrition specialist. Nutrition has been a molding aspect of my life. My father was in the Air Force so I started life eating foods in different parts of the country as well as in the Philippines. I do love good food! My ideas of "good food" has changed a lot over the decades. I had a very unhealthy relationship with food for most of my life, and it took a lot of work to get myself in healthy place. Our relationships with food are sometimes more complicated than we realize.

I'm not a dietician or nutritionist. I can't tell you how to eat. I do help people reshape the way they think about food and create lifestyle changes that lead to long-term, long-lasting changes.

Lifestyle changes include food, exercise, what we can do to help us cope with anxiety, mind-body medicine, habit change, goal setting, improved sleep, and much, much more.

I work with clients individually and in small groups. If you'd like to learn more about working with me as a coach, please reach out. You can message me here or text/call me at 207-214-5194.

Be well!

Robin

Hello!

The entire morning on Thursday, April 9 and all day on April 24, 30, and May 1 are open in Talmadge. Modality is your choice - massage including TMJ massage, reflexology, functional medicine health coaching information (about 20 minutes), and assisted and passive stretching are available. 207-214-5194 for an appointment.

The studio in Talmadge is closed next week. I'm practicing what I preach by taking care of routine medical appointments. Later in the week, I'll be away. The infrared sauna won't be available.

Functional medicine health coaching is available in person and via Zoom. The next group session is on lifestyle changes that lead to better nutrition. Why is it important? How do you get started? And then stick with it? Lasting changes make the long-term difference so many of us are looking for. This is a great group for people who are using a GLP-1 and/or have an eating plan or diet to follow. The built-in support from group coaching is helpful to most of the people I work with, and it often comes with some laughs. I can't tell you what and how to eat. I'm here to help you make the lifestyle changes! 207-214-5194

Individual functional medicine health coaching is always available! I'll be part of your support system, and I'll help you learn to become accountable to yourself so that you no longer need me. It's my job to work myself out of a job by helping you improve your health and wellness. It isn't always easy, but we can make it fun.

Take good care!

Robin

I don't have enough appointments open for them!

The windows have privacy film so they can't see me through the glass. They've been around all day.

Laying on a massage table can be uncomfortable for some people. For others, being on the massage chair for scalp, neck, shoulders, and back massage is preferable to the table.

Chair massage works well for 30-45 minute sessions. What do you need? Let's talk! 207-214-5194

I have two openings in Talmadge for bodywork (massage, assisted stretch) next Friday, February 27. 11 am and 1 pm are open for 60 or 90 minutes.

The sauna will be available first thing in the morning and again at 5 pm. If one of the massage slots doesn't fill, that can be used for sauna appointments as well.

It will take me a little time to figure out how using one space for two very different things, but it will smooth out quickly!

Good afternoon!

I've done some rearranging to make the best use of space and create a smooth workflow in the studio. Adding the sauna drastically changed the space but it's been worth it!

UPDATED: There is room for sauna appointments -
Wednesday, February 25, all morning is open
Thursday, February 26 at Noon and 1:30 pm

The intro price is 30 minutes for $20. There's a waiver to sign before you step into the sauna. You'll need to bring a bath towel to sit on and another towel (hand towel is large enough) to dry off with. I take mine into the sauna with me to wipe my face. No nudity, please and thank you! A bathing suit or similar is okay!

Text or call if you'd like to make a reservation. 214-5194.

SAUNA UPDATE -

It's been a comedy of errors. I was given a FedEx tracking number and a delivery date that didn't exist. A trucking company had it on an 18-wheeler that can't turn around on my dead end road. They were great and we made it work. I met them at Waite General, and they moved the 300 lb box that's somehow attached to a partial pallet into my truck. It's in the studio, but it's still in the box on the pallet wrapped in miles of plastic.

I'm coaching today with clients and in a seminar on helping clients turn their specific lab results and PCP's recommendations into lifestyle changes. As soon as I'm done, I'll start working on the sauna. I hope to have it ready for next Thursday, February 12.
