I just came back from 2 days of taking a Healing Touch Level 2 course.  Healing Touch is an energy-based treatment that works with the energy field (aura), energy centers (chakras) and energy pathways (meridians) to restore balance and harmony in the energy system and place the client in a position to self-heal.

More information is available online:  www.Healingtouchprogram.com

In the Level 2 class, I learned techniques designed to aid in reduction of back pain.

In order to get an opportunity to practice these techniques, I am offering 1-hour Healing Touch back sessions for a reduced price of $25. 

Healing Touch sessions are conducted with the client fully-clothed and use gently physical touch on the body.  No pressure or manipulation are used. 

Please call me at 479-981-9995 to reserve your session. I will offer sessions at this price for the first 25 people who make appointments.

I went to a conference this weekend and attended a seminar on raw food diets.  According to the moderator of the seminar, raw food diets can help you lose weight, maintain energy and health, and (this was what was exciting)…control Type II diabetes without medication.  I’ve done some research this morning and found that there are studies that show that diabetics (Type I and II) could reduce their dependence on medication if they followed a raw foods diet.

 Since obesity and diabetes are conditions that people in my family have, my husband and I are discussing whether we should give raw foods a try.

It is, however, a huge lifestyle change.  Many people don’t go completely raw, but gradually add more and more raw foods into their diets.   It appears that giving up our dependence on caffeine and sugar is very important in controlling dietary disease (yes, it seems that every natural health protocol includes giving up those vices).

So, I have found and am going to order an e-book on how to get started on the raw food diet and see what happens.  I met one woman this weekend who claimed she lost 30 pounds in 60 days switching to raw foods.  Without being hungry or losing energy.  The moderater, who was 26 - looked about 18– she started doing this at age 18, and she claimed she looked about 28 then.  Although the evidence was anecdotal, it was interesting enough that we felt the need to look into this further.  It didn’t hurt when we were told that the food cost was less than eating traditionally.

 I’ll keep you posted as my research and experiments continue.

Specials for this weekend:

 45-minute foot spa (aromatherapy foot bath, foot exfoliation scrub and foot massage) $40

 30-minute foot reflexology $25

1-hour massage $55

 Call 479-981-9995 for your appointment. 

Please note:  Schedule your appointment for Friday or Saturday.  Ancient Paths will be closed on Sunday, Aug 3 so I can celebrate my parents’ 48th wedding anniversary with my family in Iowa.

Hey, guys!  As of June 2008, I’m now licensed as a Master Massage Therapist by the state of Arkansas.  This designation required documentation of 250 hours of hands-on work and 125 classroom hours of continuing education in Massage Therapy.  It allows me to teach hands-on massage therapy courses…and to brag a little!

My husband and I got away from working this weekend, and managed to make it to the White Street Art Walk last night.  Tonight we went to Basin Park and heard Yao Angelo (our downtown bicycle cop) and his band play…what fun!  And there were tons of interesting people to watch….the art was great last night…the music was great tonight….It’s so fun to live here…

I just got back from Kansas City…attended a 2-day class on Lomi Lomi Massage.   Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage technique that includes long flowing strokes and “lomi lomi” strokes to break up congestion.  The techniques I learned were primarily for relaxation massage.

 Now that I’ve take the class, I need PRACTICE…which is where the DEAL comes in. 

 Make an appointment for a 1 hour Lomi Lomi massage on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in March and it will only cost $25.  That’s LESS than half price! 

 Call me at 479-981-9995 to book yours!

How about a 4-hand massage — two therapists and YOU! 

Be nurtured for an hour by two therapists — working on opposite sides of the body simultaneously — it’s the ultimate relaxation massage!   Besides getting two hours of massage packed into one hour, the sensation of four hands working at once lulls you into a deeply relaxed state. 

 A tandem massage requires an appointment to ensure that two therapists who work well together are available..so call and reserve yours today! 

 1 hour tandem massage is $120.  (Take 10% off during the month of March and pay only $108)

 OR for a real luxury experience –spend two hours with us and add a facial, a sugar or salt glow (body exfoliation treatment) and a foot spa treatment to the tandem massage. 

Cost for the Ultimate package — $190 (take 10% off for the month of March and pay only $171).

 I got this email this week –  made my day

My husband and I came in to your spa for the couples massage this past Saturday.  I just wanted to tell you what an amazing experience it was.  I had never had one before and was a little nervous about it.  I am now addicted and can’t wait to get another one!!  :)    All of my stress knots that had built up in my upper back went away and I felt absolutely great afterwards!!  Thank you so much for working us in so we could get the couples massage. It was one of the best things we did in our weekend get-a-way to Eureka!  We will be planning another trip there as soon as we can break away again!!!
