Creating a Spa Experience at Home for a brief moment, a few hours, a day, or a weekend to reduce and manage stress, and to nourish the mind, the body and the spirit “The trouble with the rat race is even if you win, you are still a rat.” -Lily Tomlin
Imagine being in a peaceful environment that invites you to focus on your authentic self, your needs and your wishes… away from stressful distractions and concerns…
Imagine a place where you can “retreat” and take time out to enjoy a calming mini-vacation where your body and mind gradually shift from feeling “heavy and cluttered” to “light and clear”… Imagine this blissful time out allowing you to nurture, nourish and replenish the whole YOU -- mind, body and spirit -- so you can re-enter your world of regular activities with renewed perspective and energy...
Would that feel like heaven? But, does that sound impossible? Let’s breathe for a moment…
I invite you to make yourself comfortable where you are sitting to read this book, and take a few deep belly breaths… As you relax, ask yourself which part of you needs some loving care and nourishment at this time.
Is it the Stressed one? The Tired one? The Upset one?
Is it the Unwell one? The Cranky one? Or is it the Knocked down one?
I want you to know that all are welcome at this time in this space.
It is not as impossible as it sounds to experience heaven on earth. In fact, I have a wellness plan, a “Nourishment Therapy”, to make it possible for you; a plan that goes beyond the terry-cloth robe, the fuzzy slippers and the cucumber slices over the eyes. If followed, this plan goes beyond the pampering routines as it can change the way you manage your stress, how you care for yourself, and how you breathe and relax. It can change the way you eat, and the quality of your life. The transformational wellness-enhancing tools that I offer in my plan can help you experience heaven on earth in your home whenever you want. Shifting from caring for everyone else to caring for yourself, even for just a half hour a day, to do the things you truly enjoy and find relaxing can be rejuvenating and “health-changing”. I am offering you a life-style adjustment to regain and maintain balance and wellness.
