Revolutionary Pain Relief

7/8/2018

0 Comments

 

CBD is turning the tables on pain management.

CBD is a ground-breaking compound that has demonstrated it's effectiveness in helping to reduce pain and inflammation and decrease pain signaling to the brain. CBD is now considered part of advanced clinical care and increasingly utilized by a variety of medical professionals.

The products I selected for use here at Daybreak Spa Studio are non-prescription oils and ointments that combine FDA-approved active ingredients and hemp extract.

Inspired by Costa Rica

5/5/2018

As many of you know, I just returned from an incredible vacation in Costa Rica. I basked in the sun, surfed the ocean, waterslided backwards into the hot springs, hiked the jungle, ziplined above the cloud forest, stayed at the base of a steaming volcano, came face to face with friendly (and not so friendly) wildlife, AND I brought back Costa Rican volcanic mud to share with you all.

I've created a new facial inspired by the best natural elements Costa Rica has to offer. This purifying facial includes misted sea minerals, a hand-blended coffee and coconut scrub, mango infused face, neck, shoulder, arms and hand massage, and the signature volcanic mud mask that will transport you to your own private jungle escape in minutes. The many benefits of volcanic mud can include:

  • cell regeneration
  • oxygenation
  • remineralizing (potassium, magnesium & silicon)
  • exfoliating
  • anti-inflammatory
  • natural antiseptic
  • purifying
  • analgesic​

It's more than a facial, it's an EXPERIENCE. For just $60 you can get your own taste of Costa Rica. I also have plenty of stories I brought back with me from the lovely country if you're interested in hearing more about it. Check out some of the breathtaking landscapes below:
And just for fun, I created a rainforest essential oil diffuser blend to immediately bring the freshness of the jungle to any room in your house. You can contact me to order any of these oils.

Super Bowl LII & Cupping Therapy

2/4/2018

1 Comment

 
What does Super Bowl have to do with cupping you ask? A couple of things actually. For starters, did you know that Patriots Linebacker James Harrison spends over $350,000 a year employing specialists who help manage the punishment his body endures? One of his specialists is a massage therapist that uses cupping to reduce muscle soreness. Harrison states, "Before I get treated, I HURT, and after, I feel better." Today he will step onto the field as the oldest defensive player in professional football. He's obviously doing something right.
Picture

Secondly, while most of you were getting ready for Super Bowl LII today, I spent the day taking a level 2 cupping class learning specific treatment techniques for common shoulder conditions such as:
  • frozen shoulder
  • impaired range of motion
  • pain inside the shoulder joint
  • tennis elbow
  • shoulder pain accompanied by pins, needles, tingling, burning or numbness radiating down the arm and/or up into the neck
This is just the tip of the iceberg for me. In time I will become a resource in the community for cupping therapy. I'm thoroughly sold on the therapy for moving out stagnation from the body so new biochemistry has a chance to nourish affected areas. And even though the temporary marks cupping can leave on the skin look brutal, it doesn't feel brutal at all. In fact I nearly fell asleep while my partner was working on me.
Picture

Are you interested in trying out cupping for yourself? Awesome! You can add cupping therapy for $10 to any of your massages at Daybreak Spa Studio. Or I have a detox massage that already incorporates cupping into the treatment if you really want to flush your system. Let me know if you have any questions.

Watch more about cupping here in an interview with Amber my instructor:

Your Quick Young Living Resource

9/22/2017

0 Comments

 
Did you know you can order Young Living Products through me? I place an order on the 15th of every month so just let me know what you need and I will order for you.  I have been using Young Living Essential Oils for almost half of my life, since I was in high school. I have used them to treat everything from stress, burns, scrapes, insect bites, insect repellent, stress management, pain relief, emotional support, anti-aging skin care, immune support, nutritional supplementation and more. I believe in this brand of oils because of the powerful results I have seen throughout using them for over a decade.

Naturally Detoxified:

One of my favorite success stories came when my sister-in-law was stung by some sort of bee. She started panicking since she is allergic to bees but didn't have an epi-pen on hand. She started feeling radiating pain shoot up her arm from the sting site and feared she would have to go to the ER. I asked her, "Do you have any essential oils?" She said, "Yes." I asked, "Which ones?" She named a few and I said, "Let's put some purification on it."  I added a couple of drops to the sting and within 60 seconds, her pain had completely vanished. She never had to go to the ER. While anyone with a bee allergy should always have an epi-pen for this type of situation, this actually worked as a great back-up resource for her.

I have also successfully used purification to remove cigarette smoke odor from a house by diffusing the oil for a few hours where someone had smoked the evening before.

Candy Cane Cockroach Repellent:

When I moved to Hawaii, my best friend had a ritual of spraying a popular commercial bug repellent around the perimeters of her tiny apartment and then vacating the premises for an entire day while the fumes settled down. I asked her, "You know you're spraying cancer chemicals all over your home right?" She said, "I know it's not ideal but I have to do something to keep the cockroaches away." She would repeat this routine every three weeks. I told her next time she was going to spray, I wanted to try something else first. I mixed up an all natural bug repellent spray that included peppermint, cypress, water, and sea salts. I sprayed it around the perimeter of the apartment where she would have normally sprayed her commercial repellent. When I was done, the entire apartment smelled like a candy cane and we weren't forced to leave due to chemical fumes. The spray worked. In fact, it worked for an entire month, a week longer than the commercial repellent had worked.

A Few of my Favorite Things

A few of my favorite Young Living Products that I use almost daily include:
  • Diffusing Stress Away in my home spa to create a calming atmosphere.
  • Alkalime an acid-neutralizing, effervescent, mineral PH complex added to water for health support. Citrus Fresh is another one I love to add in my water for a great natural flavor and essential oil benefits
  • Thieves anytime I feel like I'm getting sick to boost my immune system and fight pathogens
  • Lavender for almost everything :)
  • Frankincense for healthy skin, emotional balance, and even for shrinking a growth on my dog's skin
  • The pre-diluted kids essential oil blends Owie, SniffleEase, and TummyGize for cuts, colds, and upset stomachs
  • Deep Relief roll-on for muscle aches and pains
If any of this sounds like something you want to include in your daily care practices, just let me know before the 15th of each month and I will order for you. Here is the most recent catalog for you to flip through:

Stunning Solar Eclipse 2017

8/22/2017

I have a thing for the sun as you can probably tell from my business logo. During the Spring of 2015, I took my boys to Sunriver Observatory to look at the sun through special telescopes. It was extremely fascinating seeing the sun's live atmosphere and gases emitting from the surface. After the viewing the staff volunteer asked where we were from and became very excited to know we were from Madras. He told me that we would be in prime position for the total solar eclipse of 2017. He said that NASA would be coming to Madras and thousands of visitors to see it. That's the first I'd heard of it. Then shortly after that, one of the resorts I worked for sold out completely for the eclipse by a Japanese tour group. So my anticipation has been building for over two years.

There has been a lot of excitement and energy surrounding our community in the years, weeks, and days leading up to this phenomenal event. Today I finally experienced why. You can't truly appreciate it unless you see it with your own eyes. One lady described viewing the eclipse as if she were experiencing the breath of God. I think that could justly describe the feeling that passed over my skin and through my body during the two minutes of totality. I myself was speechless. Here are the photographs I was fortunate enough to capture of this wonder of nature. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Rejuvenate & Uplift Your Face with the Kansa Wand

7/19/2017

3 Comments

 
Does the word wand automatically make you think of Harry Potter casting his magic around?
Picture

The Kansa Wand casts a magic of it's own. This ancient healing tool has been used in India for centuries to enhance health, increase energy, support well-being, and relieve stress.

Much of the work done with the Kansa Face Wand involves simple repetitive long stokes and circles that according to Ayurvedic massage theory helps reduce or pull out acidity in the tissues. 

Picture

The domed massage surface is made of kansa, a very pure form of bronze known throughout India as the healing metal. This sacred metal blend helps in harmonizing the energies in our meridians and chakras. Think of it as tuning up your face and rejuvenating the beauty in your skin.

Benefits of Kansa face massage can include:


  • Revitalise complexion by increasing blood circulation.
  • Evoke a greater sense of ease. 
  • Bring life and light back to the face. 
  • Rebalance the three doshas - vata, pitta and kapha, the three subtle energies of the body recognized in Ayurveda. 
  • Provides a warm relaxing sensation that reduces stress and calms the mind.

This 2-minute video explains Kansa more in depth:

Kansa face massage is a wonderful add-on to any massage or facial at Daybreak Spa Studio. Go ahead and request it with your next escape...

Let's "FACE" It Men...

6/4/2017

I've been in the skin care industry for over a decade so I can say with complete confidence that men just don't care for their skin as well as they should.  They work hard and play hard while exposed to all the damaging environmental elements such as the sun, wind, pollution, and harsh temperatures. Their pores hold years of buildup I like to refer to as pore-scum that needs to be professionally cleaned out.

One of my favorite spa stories to date is the day a fellow came into the spa for a facial his wife had scheduled for him. He was obviously put-out by the appointment and aggressively stated, "I'd rather be out on the golf course" while he begrudgingly filled out his skin-care questionnaire. But once he layed down on the heated table, and I started massaging his face, he completely relaxed. His attitude about the appointment made a complete 180. He commented multiple times about how good everything felt and that he had no idea how wonderful a facial was. He emerged from the treatment very satisfied and relaxed with fresh, re-balanced skin and looked at me and said that he was grateful his wife pushed him out of his comfort zone and scheduled him that appointment.


For you skeptical men out there, think of a facial as a TUNE-UP for your face. I promise you, you'll see and feel an immediate improvement in the hydration, texture, and cleanliness of your skin. Plus the upper body massage included with the facial is so worth it. Remember your face is the first thing everyone sees when they talk to you. So it's best to keep it maintained. Come give it a try.
