kristina's corner

I love to travel and, two weeks ago, I got to vacate for the first time in a couple of years.  What a great chance to leave it all behind, reset, and explore some new scenery! The destination?  Portland, Oregon and environs.  


But, as we all know- it's the journey, not the destination.  


We hiked among and behind cascading waterfalls, drove over the snowy mountain passes and into the desert sunset, and enjoyed the good food and drink of the Pacific Northwest.  It was a trip of wildflowers and stones, sun and storm, breathtaking views and wrong turns-- all fantastic.


I have luckily had the opportunity to travel occasionally over the years.  A gift from my family early on that has grown into a fulfilling and enriching part of my life.  For those of you who haven't tried it, I encourage you to explore its potential.  Choose a journey and let yourself discover the wonder of a new experience.  (PS- It doesn't always go smoothly, but that's part of the fun!)


For those of you who share my love of the great unknown, I'd love to hear your stories.

We can, and would be happy to, help with your Mother's Day needs.  Remember, you can purchase Gift Certificates at your Member Rate (or you can have someone purchase you a gift certificate at your Member Rate).  


We still have the wish list, too.  If you've always wanted to try a Reiki, or a Reflexology, or a Hot Stone, or a 90 Minute Session- put it on the Wish List and we will steer any gift givers in the right direction!

quick tip - massage on the road

Many of us like to get a massage while on vacation.  One resource for finding a Therapist in another area is the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) "Find a Massage Therapist" index. 


http://www.amtamassage.org/findamassage/index.html

The AMTA is a national professional association that requires its members to adhere to professional, educational, and ethical standards.  The organization works to educate the public about massage, create and uphold professional standards, and ensure fair legislation concerning massage.  


Kristina has held an AMTA membership since becoming a Certified Massage Therapist in 2007 and currently volunteers as a local organizer for the association.
