Spring Renewal

Spring is a time for renewal and increased activity. One common problematic area we commonly see in the Spring are feet issues. Think about it— if you live in a four season locale, you have been wearing heavy shoes all winter or no shoes in the house. Then, the sun is out and everyone quickly switches to lighter, more open footwear options, in addition to increased activity levels.

Easeful movement

If you want to experience a more easeful transition this season, consider a stretching session, or our signature seasonal package which includes (3) 90- minute long curated sessions. Each session includes a foot soak, followed by foot Reflexology and Acupressure to the Liver Meridian. Stretching with Artem may also be added to any session for as little as 30- minutes, or as long as an hour.

• Stretching helps prime the body for increased activity by warming tissues, improving flexibility, mobility, range of motion, and balance. All of these benefits help prevent injuries while you’re doing the things you love.
