The holidays are a wonderful time to focus on community, and to shine a light on all the positive effects of support systems on our wellness and the wellness of the community overall.

November is a busy time for many of us. Between preparing for holiday events, managing end-of-year projects, and transitioning from fall to freezing temperatures, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. Accordingly, this month we want to share some ways to slow down by regulating our nervous system and highlight how warming up plays a role in our wellness.

Winter and the holidays are right around the corner. As temperatures drop and holiday celebrations ramp up, we’d like to focus on incorporating wellness into both daily life and festive activities. In this month’s newsletter, we’re excited to highlight several wellness-oriented events...

As the crisp autumn air arrives, it's the perfect time to focus on rejuvenating our bodies and minds. In this month's newsletter, we're excited to share some of the benefits to come from taking deep, lateral breaths. Why? Because you deserve to enhance your well-being and navigate the changing seasons with ease. We'll also be sharing some of the special services our providers offer to help others experience more abundance (on all levels). Plus, don't miss our Wellness Fair happening the first weekend of October. Breathe deeply, stay informed, and let’s embrace this season of transformation together!

At Integrative Health & Wellness Center, we are committed to offering the latest and most effective recovery methods. We have the most advanced Infrared Sauna on the market, and we carry a portable device using the next generation of laser light technology - the Move+Pro. We invite you to explore the benefits of red and infrared light therapy, as well as the other healing modalities we offer, to experience how they can help you achieve your health and fitness goals.

This time of the year is chaotic for most, and we're not trying to add to the chaos. Instead of a hefty July newsletter, we want to instead remind you to take a deep breath and spend time doing whatever it is that fuels your cup most; hanging with the family; being outdoors; eating a nutrituous meal bright in color; going for a walk. We're here for it all. But we do want to take a moment to at the very least, remind you of our list of services, as well as summer deals and discounts you might want to take advantage of!

Chronic pain = chronic inflammation in the body.

Decreasing inflammation = increasing health and vitality.

That's what we are talking about this month. Specifically, we are talking about effective tools to lower inflammation in the body and experience less pain and fatigue. Spoiler alert: We have many tools worth mentioning, but one we cannot wait to share with you, and that is our infrared sauna.

Our High Tech Health Transcend Smart Sauna offers deep, penetrating heat that helps to detoxify the body, relieve stress, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Infrared saunas provide a holistic approach to wellness that goes beyond traditional saunas. Their gentle warmth is not only soothing, but aids in muscle recovery and boosts the immune system.

May marks our 5th anniversary in our downtown location. Anne Nemec (IHWC Owner) says it's gone by quick, but she is so happy to see how far the center has come in such a short time. She's even more excited to witness continued growth as the center progresses. To celebrate our birthday and this major milestone, we are sharing SEVERAL PROMOTIONS valid throughout May and June. Why? Because nothing brings our team more joy than helping others sow seeds and take their health journey to the next level.

Welcome to April's Newsletter: Taking Tiny Steps Towards a Healthier, Happier You! As we continue moving through Stress Awareness Month, it's important to recognize the significance of managing stress in our lives. Stress, if left unchecked, can permeate every aspect of our wellbeing, affecting our physical health, mental clarity, and emotional stability. That's why this month we're focusing on the power of 'little by little' approaches, encouraging you to take small steps towards reducing stress and fostering overall wellness. Together, let's explore practical strategies and gentle reminders to prioritize self-care and cultivate resilience. Remember, every small choice matters on the path to a healthier, happier you!

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...
