Our latest news
1. As always I would love your reviews on google. It only takes a second and really helps me out. Here is the link: g.page/r/CakUXCVCB-JxEAI/review
2. I am learning more cupping techniques! If you would like some cupping incorporated into your treatment session let me know.
3. If you are wanting to get in and can't find a spot please get on my waitlist via the book now button on my website. When a spot opens up you are immediately sent a text via square. You can still ask me to let you know if something opens up, but square is more effective. I would also recommend scheduling visits ahead as I am currently booking out about 6 weeks. You can always move them up if something opens up sooner.
4. As I have quite a few on my waitlist, please let me know as soon as you can if you are unable to make an appointment so someone else who wants/needs to get in can do so. I do have a cancellation policy of 24hours prior to visit. If canceled after the time frame you may be required to pay 75% of the visit rate
4. Contact Amy below for meditation/mindfulness training and Quantum Human Design™
Highlight on Hydration
Now that summer is upon us it is time to get prepared for the increased heat, humidity, and more time spent outdoors. It is extremely important for our health to stay hydrated!
A cause for pain and poor health is dehydration. The majority of us today do not drink the needed amount of my water we should. In order for our cells to stay healthy the toxins released from them need to be excreted and nutrients need to be brought to them. This happens through the extracellular matrix. This is the area between muscles,organs, cells, and throughout connective tissue (fascia)!
When we do not drink enough water the Fluid matrix which is 70% water cannot replenish causing restrictions and toxins to build resulting in pain, decreased mobility, and illness.
Some signs you may be dehydrated:
1. You are thirsty-if you wait to get a drink until you are thirsty you are already slightly dehydrated
2. You have dry skin
3. You have dark colored urine
4. You are frequently tired
5. Your mouth is dry
6. You urinate infrequently
7. You have low blood pressure
8. You have muscle cramping
9. You have constipation
10. You have headaches
Dehydration can also increase injury risk as the fluid matrix serves as a cushion or spring between cells and tissues.
Stay hydrated!! Ideally you should be drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water per day. For example if you weigh 180 pounds you should be drinking 90 ounces of water a day!
In addition to drinking plenty of water it is also important for you to have the proper electrolytes in your system. Electrolytes are sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, and calcium. They need to be balanced in order for our bodies to maintain healthy blood, heart rhythm, muscle function, nerve conduction, and hydration. When they are imbalanced, especially sodium, you can become dehydrated even if you are drinking enough water. If you are someone who tends to sweat a lot then you likely need electrolyte supplements more frequently. You also don’t want to drink too much water because that can dilute the electrolytes causing issues as well. In my research, I didn’t find a definitive amount of electrolytes needed each day. The best way to determine if you have an imbalance is by listening to your body. If you have some of the following symptoms you may want to assess your electrolyte levels. An MD can check this by completing a blood or urine test to check levels. However, they change frequently depending on exercise, water intake, and consumption of foods and drinks containing electrolytes.
Some electrolyte imbalance symptoms are:
1. Confusion,irritability, anxiety
2. Diarrhea and constipation
3. Fatigue
4. Headaches
5. Irregular/fast heartbeat
6. Muscle cramps/spasms/weakness
7. Nausea and vomiting
8. Tingling in limbs, fingers and toes.
In addition to consuming enough water and electrolytes it is important that you release restricted fascia. In order for the water and electrolytes you drink to reach the cells, the facial tissue cannot be restricted. When it is tight the fluid matrix is in a sense shut out and the nutrients cannot reach the cells and toxins cannot be released. This causes pain and dysfunction.
So do yourself a favor and get treated with myofascial release, continue with self myofascial release, drink plenty of water and balance your electrolytes!
You’ll be glad you did😉
