Spring Is Here! Time For Your Seasonal Cleanse

You know you want to. You know you need to.  You’ve been considering it – here’s your opportunity to get motivated. Think about it – why is it that many of us seem to take better care of our cars than we do our own bodies?  We understand that every few months, we need to get our oil changed in our car to keep gunk from building up and damaging the engine.  We know that if we never clean out the air filter, that the car will not be able to run as efficiently and will someday break down.  We can easily wrap our head around this cause and effect. Yet many of us have never made much effort whatsoever to work on getting the gunk  [More]

Leap Day Today, Once Every Four Years

Love Letters to Self

Perhaps, just once, we might:  Forgive, forget, pause, relax, care, find your voice, create, make a decision, take a moment to play, give credit, smile, speak your truth and refuse to compromise with yourself. In one small way. Pick just one or two and start there? And, you’re certainly welcome to join our “love letter to self” movement that started on V-Day.  You’re certainly welcome to forward us your letter at any time – but all letters received today, the last day of the month, will be given a complimentary 30-minute upgrade on your next service at Root to be used within the next 3 months. Join us in pausing today and remembering the beauty that is you.  Hopefully, it becomes  [More]

Introducing Unlimited And Group Acupuncture | Making Frequent Acupuncture Accessible

AcupunctureSmaller

Acupuncture has been an important practice for healing and maintaining good health for thousands of years.  Scientific studies to determine exactly how acupuncture works are ongoing and becoming more common.  Recently, The Royal College of General Practitioners reported that two studies in the British Journal of General Practice have shown that patients, “perceived a wide range of positive effects and appeared to take on a more active role in their consultations and self-care.”  The patients showed a sustained improvement which, ultimately, is the goal of five-element acupuncture.  Chinese Medicine works to heal the whole person and the issues behind symptoms, not just symptoms themselves.  According to the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture, the number of treatments needed depends of the  [More]

Our Very Own Food Whisperer With Her Favorite Strategy For The Holidays

Barbsmall0001

The holidays are not too far away.  It’s time to prepare yourself before you’re busy preparing everything else.  Are you looking forward to this time of joy, togetherness, and overeating?  Are you worried about eating too much and ending the year with a few more pounds than you wanted?  Or simply not feeling the way you want? Do not fear. By putting together a few realistic strategies for yourself, you will have the tools when times get busy and you are exposed to your trigger foods and situations.  This is deeply individual and I am happy to help you figure out your way.
