HELLO AUTUMN!

Hello Autumn!  We have officially entered my favorite time of year. The fall offers a transition into a slowed down and cozy vibe. Apple picking, pumpkin spice everything and “sweater weather” invoke feelins of nostalgia and magic that make the season a classic. Living in the Adirondacks this time of year feels like a true gift. The leaves are spectacular, and the air is crisp! And it is a wonderful reminder to slow down and enjoy the view. It is also the season of cold and flu andmassage clients will often show to appointments with the sniffles. It is important to support and nourish our own immune systems this time of year. Drinking plenty of fluids, upping the vitamins and enjoying warm broths and herbal teas can provide us with a healthier terrain to battle the onslaught of illness. I always stock herbs such as echinacea, feverfew and mullein to make a tincture or tea to keep my lungs and body healthy and prepared! So many of my blogs this year have been about self care, and this one is no different. Taking care of ourselves so we can care for others is vital to our success as practitioners. Too often we put ouselves on the backburner only to feel the effects later on. So schedule that massage. Drink some herbal tea. Enjoy an epsom salot soak. And give yourself the care you deserve. Happy fall!
