Happy Spring Equinox everyone! Today is the first official day of spring and we are so happy the sun is shining. This month, we want to remind you to not only take time to do spring cleaning around your house, but also throughout your mind, body, and soul. This time of year presents an opportunity to weed through our thoughts and actions. When we slow down and reflect on what is and isn't serving us, we can get rid of the old and allow space for the new... a fresh start, if you will. In our center, we have a variety of services, products, and practitioners, all ready to help you make positive changes that last.

It might sound cliche, but we believe showing love to yourself is one of the greatest things you can do for your health and wellness. When you love yourself, you trust in yourself and experience more joy, confidence, and abundance. At Integrative Health & Wellness Center, our team values and prioritizes self-love as the building block for all other types of love. With various offerings to aid you on your self-love journey, we hope you'll keep reading.

At Integrative Health & Wellness Center, we do not believe in you needing to reinvent yourself just because it's a new year. Every day, we have the opportunity to be a new version of ourselves; to choose healthier habits, to practice more self-love, and to be more present with our many layers, our bodies, and our minds. With the added pressure that onsets this time of year, we encourage you to be compassionate toward yourself and know that whenever you need a fresh start, it's just around the corner and you can begin wherever you're at. For many people, January is less about goal and intention setting, and more about embracing the slowness of winter and honoring a more easeful flow state. 

Did you know that by working to increase gratitude in our lives, we are also improving our fascial health? And fascia, if you didn't already know, is the largest sensory organ in the body! We used to think it was the skin, but not anymore. Fascia is considered a fiber optic network that holds our emotions, memories, traumas, etc. So, when we decrease our negativity bias and add more gratitude to our lives, we start an "ungluing" process and begin to release stored emotions, memories, and traumas that are no longer serving us...

Digestion is part of your parasympathetic nervous system, also known as “rest and digest.” When you are on high alert, your sympathetic nervous system kicks in and your parasympathetic nervous system turns off. As a result, your digestion gets interrupted. Your digestion also gets interrupted when there is fascial tension in the abdominal area. Why? Because fascia supports all-encompassing parts that play a role in digestion. It organizes the digestive system from your mouth to your anus and either aids or inhibits the parasympathetic nervous response from being activated. Fascia is the pathway of cellular nutrition and hydration, but repetitive trauma, stress, strains, inflammation, and dehydration can, over time, create restrictions in the fascial web...

Circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles that dictate physical, mental, and behavioral processes in the body. The sleep-wake cycle is one of the most important and well-known circadian rhythms, as light seems to play the largest role in setting your circadian "clock." When we are out of tune with the sleep-wake cycle, our brain tends to keep us awake or asleep at the wrong times, leading to to things like insomnia, narcolepsy, jet lag, and shift work disorder...

Did you know floating in a sensory deprivation tank is an effective method for easing symptoms of anxiety? In one study, participants with varying anxiety and stress-related disorders, reported a substantial reduction in symptoms and improved mood after only one session of floating. At Integrative Health & Wellness Center, we believe floating, or restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST), is one of the best things you can do for your mental health. The world is noisy—and so are our minds—but there is strength is slowing down; there is strength in silence...
