I’ve been talking about this with my massage clients, so I figured I’d post it. I originally made these at a camping event. We were in charge of breakfast for about 40, and had a huge pot of leftover oatmeal.

Why Ashiatsu (Barefoot) Massage?

https://www.facebook.com/ThePlaceChicopee/videos Massaging with my feet seems natural to me. It’s deep, broad pressure.

Low Carb Eating, and Diabetes

I started taking Amino Acids a few weeks ago, in an attempt to feel better more consistently. In these changing times, I get very high mood highs, and when the shadow shows up, it feels pretty awful in contrast! The very first thing I noticed, was my blood sugar dropping. After a week of chasingContinue reading “Low Carb Eating, and Diabetes”

Wouldn’t it be cool if__________?
