If you need some recovery from the winter weather and holidays, come to the next Group Healing Session on January 31 from 6-8 pm at 4550 McKnight Road. Enjoy some inner peace and calm in our serene room. Winter is a time for going inward. For this session, we will focus on clearing what no longer serves us to make space for the right things to come into our lives. Please hold your spot by calling or e-mailing Kerry. More details about Group Healing Sessions can be found here. These sessions are open to anyone.

Sleep Tip: Dab a few drops of lavender essential oil behind your ears and on the back of your neck at bedtime to induce calm and relaxation, or any time you need to unwind.

I am now offering group healing sessions at the McKnight Road location.  All the details are here. You will receive all the benefits of the session just by showing up and relaxing, plus you will learn easy techniques for self-care.

Animal Tip: When trying to understand your pet’s behavior, it is important to remember that although they are seeing the same things as you, they are interpreting situations through THEIR own perspective, which may not be the same as yours. For example, my dog came here from Tennessee. Last winter was her first experience with snow. She was very unsure about going to the bathroom in the snow! She thought that maybe it was a surface she was not supposed to pee on until I explained it to her. She saw it as a barrier to the ground. If you’re unsure of your pet’s interpretation of a situation, I can help!

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog! I plan to post about twice a month or as needed if there is an announcement. I will also post the blog updates on my facebook page.

I’m currently offering a special on Reflexology/Energy Work sessions at my McKnight Road location — $10 off a 60 minute session. The regular price is $80, but through December 24, the price is $70. This applies to sessions for yourself or for gift certificates. If you’d like to purchase a gift certificate, please contact me and I will email you an invoice which you can pay online. I will then send the gift certificate to you or the recipient, whichever you prefer.

People often ask how I’m able to do animal communication and energy work without the pet or person being present. Location and distance are irrelevant regarding communication and energy work. It’s like flipping a light switch. You don’t see the electricity, but you see the light come on instantly. Energy work and communication work similarly.

I am now doing pet sessions at Journeys of Life in Shadyside a few times a month. Dates and times are posted on the Events page of my website. In December, I will be there on the 9th, 16th and 23rd from 1-5 PM. Please call Journeys at 412-681-8755 to schedule a session there. As always, I’m also available for in person sessions on McKnight Road or by phone.

I’m also offering my services in a new way — parties! Round up a few friends, and I will come to your home to do pet sessions, communication with deceased loved ones, or both. The person hosting the party receives his or her session for free. Sessions are about 20-30 minutes in length, depending on the number of clients. Please contact me to schedule a party or for more information.

Holiday Tip: In my many years as a personal trainer, one of the biggest complaints I’ve heard around the holidays is low back pain from hours of cooking, baking and decorating. It can leave you feeling like you’ve done a full day of yard work. Since you are spending so much time bending over, you need to move your body in the OPPOSITE direction. There are a few ways to do this. While standing, relax your knees and place your hands on the back of your hips just above your rear end. Gently lean back and hold for a few seconds. Repeat this a few times. You can also do the yoga poses cat-cow (on hands and knees, rounding back up to ceiling then arching back) and cobra stretch (face down on floor, hands under shoulder and gently arch upper body up without shrugging). Taking a moment to do these movements periodically as you do your work can help to save you from pain later. Soaking in an epsom salt bath is also very beneficial. Enjoy your holidays!
