Love Your Liver! Why? It is Our Internal Nurturer by Tracy Blehm

Date: April 24, 2012  Author: Tracy Comments Off

The liver is a complex system of cells that filtrates and processing the nutrients and chemicals we absorb from our food.

The liver is the cleanser and filter for our blood stream and is vitally important for us to maintain good health but is typically overlooked and abused. Continue Reading

Stretch of the Month – Upper Shoulder Stretch

Date: April 23, 2012  Author: Tracy Comments Off

-        Clasp Hands behind back

-        Straighten arms

-        Relax neck, drop shoulders

-        Push arms up toward ceiling while pushing shoulders back

-        Hold for between 10-30 seconds

This stretches the main shoulder muscles used for posture.

This helps with posture especially if you tend to slouch, curl your shoulders forward, or tighten your shoulders a lot when sitting, standing or doing activities.

This stretch should be done when you wake up, in the middle of your day when you’re at work, and before you go to bed.

Fertility and Pregnancy: The Hypnotherapy Advantage By Thomas Orban, DCH

Date: April 10, 2012  Author: Tracy Comments Off

Hypnotherapy is an effective way to address pregnancy related issues such as fear, anxiety and stress most expectant mothers experience, especially during the first pregnancy.  These issues normally negate the ability to conceive or they interfere
with a natural and healthy pregnancy. Due to the hormonal changes, changing lifestyle, prospective or already pregnant women need more emotional support.  Hypnotherapy is a great aid to balancing emotions and reducing unpleasant physical sensations such as morning sickness.  As part of my treatments, I provide my clients with self-help tools for future maintenance they can successfully utilize.  My job is to line up conscious and subconscious resources of the client for maximum empowerment employing deep relaxation and softening techniques to promote comfort and safety during fertility procedures, maximizing successful outcome.  Hypnotherapy improves and enhances the body-mind connection and communication which is important for conceiving
successfully and completing a healthy natural pregnancy. Continue Reading
