At the beginning of this year, I signed up for a vision manifestation workshop put on by Yarah…read moreSutra (yes that is her real name!), a healer, priestess, and expert facilitator, based in Seattle, WA. It was a transformative, multi-sensory, and emotional experience that transitioned me, the participant, through a multitude of experiences and activities, from meditation, to work sheeting, to soul cleansing dance, and finally to the creation of a vision board as a physical artifact to represent the experience and the future manifestation of my desires. Over the past 11 years, as I have dove further into researching the power of the subconscious mind (psychology) and how our brain influences motivation and emotional control (neuroscience), I have quickly realized that more people in the world would benefit from this sort of experience where personal strategic planning meets psychological transformation. Many people want to better connect with their desires, achieve more happiness and success, and gain more self awareness, and I believe this type of workshop is a great way to kick off a change in your life. In particular, women tend to display particular self limiting beliefs (stemming from our patriarchal culture) that can result in us holding back from truly chasing our desires and dreams. What's really cool about Yarah's methods are the strong connection to human cultural traditions that have been in place for thousands of years: dance, drums, and meditation. She takes these elements and adds in process driven writing and visioning to add the right amount of structure and organization to complete the workshop experience. As someone who also works with people to build an immersive visioning workshop, I know the importance of compelling imagery and a moving experience to stir deep motivation and clarity not only within the rational brain, but also within the emotional brain. I have a couple of pictures from the event here, as well as my vision board itself. Every time I see this beautiful work of art, created by yours truly, it reignites a sense of clarity and intention around what I want to achieve this year. I can't recommend Yarah highly enough as a facilitator and guide for this type of experience.

Having been a…read morewaitress for 10 years, then a graphic designer (working at at computer) for 15, my back, neck, and shoulders have required quite a lot of untangling over the years. Of all the massage therapists I've been to, Emily Keating easily ranks in the top 3 of all time, and she is currently the best I know of in Seattle. I now own and run a pet-care business, which can be very taxing physically, and Emily's massages never fail to help this tired, aching body sleep better and have more energy for the demanding work I do. I can't recommend Emily high enough... her work helps me do a better job at my own work, and that's everything to me. Thanks, Emily!

It was a painful reminder that massage is a necessity if I work out as much as I do. It has been too long, and I was very tight and inflexible. I feel better tonight than I have felt in months. It will be interesting to work out tomorrow and see how my body responds. Alisa's studio is easy to get to, and parking is right out front. The space was spotless and Covid prevention measures are taken seriously; hand sanitizers, masks, etc. are prevalent. Although this massage circumvented relaxation for a loosening up of my knots, kinks, and tightness, I am looking forward to a relaxing massage once I stop moving like the Tin Man from "Wizard of Oz" fame.

As an acupuncture newbie, I was a little bit nervous about my first appointment. After being sick…read morefor an entire month and a recent car accident, I was willing to set aside the trepidation to get better by any means necessary. The initial consultation is very laid-back. Jennifer asks a few questions, finds out the top issues, and explains about what to expect from the procedure. My session started with cupping, which was so relaxing and a great way to ease me into needles. I'd never heard of it, but it is essentially some oil, a cup where the air is vacuumed out via fire and placed on the area being treated. The cup gets moved around. It felt kind of like a massage. There is soothing music, the room is dim, and I was already putty. Next come needles! Eeek! I really had nothing to worry about. I barely felt them, aside from a good feeling. It is really hard to explain, but it is almost like you can feel the energy in the areas that are being treated. Then there is a waiting period-- about 20-30 minutes of dark relaxation with the needles still in. I know I fell asleep. When Jennifer came back in, the removal was quick and I felt so good. Energized and my back and neck felt wonderful. I haven't had a headache since, which is a big deal for me right now. I most certainly will be back.

However, this also means I'm fortunate enough to get a regular…read moresampling of, in my opinion, the most top-quality massage therapy! =] Seriously, Krissy's massages are the most professional I've experienced. The defining qualities that immediately pop into my head are "intuitive" and "flow". Krissy is very engaged in the treatment and will adapt her style to dynamically suit your current needs. I have some semi-regular lower back pain that sometimes requires quite a lot of pressure and other times requires very precise releases. Krissy naturally finds what kind of work my body needs and deftly performs the necessary moves. It feels as if she's resolving a chain tensions that depend on one another and have to be released in a certain order, which I attribute to her knowledge in anatomy and experience in the trade. The modalities that she practices naturally flow into each other and are mixed and matched to your personal needs. I am definitely a lucky husband! =D
