Massage Moves In wishes all of you and your families a Very Healthy, Happy New Year.
2010, a New Decade, begin their Magic with a Full Moon. Peace, Good Health, Happiness, and Abundance of all the "Good Luvin' kind, to the Universe, & all living within her.
Start this Year off on the Right Foot
Actually, you can start off this year on two good feet, and keep them that way, if you make a commitment to take better care of them!
Winter is a great time to start, because, it's very dry. If it's cold, we keep them very warm, and often they perspire more than usual. When we are inside in a warm house or office, and because of the cold, we often keep our feet covered almost all the time in the winter, so they don't get a lot of "airing out"!
Once again, I take us back to Foot Reflexology. A seemingly subtle approach to total body health. By working the feet, our bodies tap into our natural healing abilities, and, help to build a strong and vibrant constitution, and feels great!
The foot is a map of the body, and an experienced Reflexologist will follow the proper path in the session, and read the signs that show areas that may need a little more.
Begin this year with a strong foundation, and work your way up!
Show your staff how appreciated they are this Holiday Season
"Many people tend to look on massage as a luxury found only in upscale health clubs. But massage is a great tool, a combination of art and science, it can have a major impact on tension, insomnia, and headaches." Says DOCTOR GIFFORD-JONES's article in the Toronto Sun Dec.16/07.
He adds, "research shows Massage fosters a positive emotional reaction."
But there's more to massage than the touch of well-trained hands. Massage decreases stress hormones, enhances the production of endorphins, (the body's natural painkillers), and improves circulation.
Besides, all this, it feels great! And, Massage Moves in, can bring it to your office or corporate event, with professional, experienced practitioners.

Massage can help to relieve SAD
Seasonal Affective Disorder "SAD", has many symptoms, such as, change in appetite for sweet or starchy foods, fatigue, and gets worse in the winter months when we have less exposure to sunlight.
Simply, the production of the hormone melatonin (which is higher in the evening, to induce sleep, and lower in the morning when the light comes in), responds to the amount of light you receive through your eyes.With the decrease of light in the winter, your body maintains a higher level of melatonin throughout the day, which is why many of us feel tired and get moody during winter days, our bodies think we should be sleeping!
Some of us are affected more than others. Some ways you can help yourself through this period is to make sure you drink plenty of water, exercise, watch your diet. Add Omega-3 fatty acids to your diet, (researched to naturally help alleviate depression).
Get out into the natural light as much as possible. On a sunny day, walk, take in the fresh air, and, leave your sunglasses off to get as much light through as possible.
Serotonin is another hormone produced by the body. Widely known as the feel-good hormone, or the body's self made tranquilizer. The more you can produce, the more you can relieve your symptoms of SAD.
Medical research has shown a rise in serotonin levels (by testing saliva) in individuals after Massage, therefore, lowering stress, and leaving you with that feel-good feeling!
So, inviting Massage into your office will not only rejuvenate and raise your staff morale. It will also be motivating to their work, and home environment.

Chair Massage "Tune-Up"
Chair Massage can be relaxing, or invigorating!
Although Massage (of any kind) is often thought of as a session that puts one into "relaxation " mode, it can also be used to invigorate us for a - pre-game, or event, to better take on the task at hand.
Today, I'm giving some charity event Golfers at Beacon Hall Golf Club, a tune-up before they hit it!
