TRIED & TRUE…
In a world where our money speaks louder than our vote I choose to support small businesses, invest in local economies, and share products that are the real deal. It means so much to have been supported myself and I share these resources with gratitude. Here is a list of health-conscious products, organizations to help you when you’re in need, and practitioners with expertise and integrity—all resources I can truly recommend with confidence.
Float Forty~One
Welcome to your new oasis for multiple types of body-care “where science meets serenity”. Invest in yourself during this time of leveling up spiritually and support your body in overcoming the effects of systemic stress. Choose from TWO locations of this veteran-owned business in Connecticut- both providing beautiful and peaceful environments for self-care featuring saunas, cold plunges, massage, float tanks & more.
Grounding Well
Just like a fuzzy jacket racks up static electricity, due to everything from electronics to synthetic fabrics, our bodies tend to hold a positive electrical charge. This can lead to inflammation, agitation, disrupted sleep, and joint pain. I noticed the difference with the grounding sheet right away! The products here help to restore balance our physical bodies and promote nervous system regulation and cellular healing.
Detox & Supplements
Are you interested in learning more about heavy metal detox, sufficient nutrition, and earth/food-based nutrients? With so much conflicting information out there it’s hard to know what questions to ask. Check out this tremendous resource for products to jumpstart the conversation with your healthcare provider about the supports available for improving your cellular health.
Crani0 Sacral Therapy
If you haven’t heard of this particular modality I liken it to unwinding your body like a spring that had been coiled up by stress. My colleague Karen Kremzar is a dream to work with and an occupational therapist with over 35 years of experience in healthcare, specializing in anxiety and stress management and pain relief using a variety of techniques including craniosacral therapy and myofascial release. She is my go-to practitioner when my physical alignment goes cattywampus because of my big feelings. Her unique combination of energy work & bodywork—plus her extensive knowledge and deep understanding of how our issues live in our tissues. I am so grateful to be able to share her services here and wholeheartedly recommend them.
Fitness & Fun
DiversaFit is truly a community fitness studio! A wellness Co-op of fitness instructors, educators, coaches, and community members. Our diversity is what makes us so special! Built on the belief that kindness, empathy, gratitude, patience, and LOVE are key factors in creating a healthy and welcoming environment, we pride ourselves on making sure everyone feels comfortable, accepted, and above all safe when they walk through our doors. I’m truly privileged to be a part of this community and it’s been a joy to lead guided meditations and other events in our clean & bright studio. Get outside at an activity off-site or try out a class just for fun!
Treat Yourself
Elements Massage is my go-to for easy scheduling, a clean environment, and talented massage therapists. With locations in Meriden and Branford there’s an opportunity to build some self care into your day wherever you find yourself in the New Haven area. I’ve got a few favorites I book with for their various specialties and it’s a great way to make sure my body is getting some attention even if my I’ve been in “go mode” for way too long. Their monthly membership packages & holiday gift card sales offer affordable rates for your or a loved one who could use a little relaxation.
Bella Vita Alchemy
In addition to offering botanical products and hands-on workshops Jen is a wealth of knowledge and a down-to-earth coach! With her knack for asking questions Jen helped me understand my own challenges in simple terms, making them suddenly seem small compared to what I can do. Making changes didn’t feel so daunting as it had when I was stuck in my story. Jen’s practical perspective and her belief in me nurtured confidence within myself. Since applying the strategies we cocreated for prioritizing my physical needs I have more energy and less overwhelm!
Ananta Wellness
This holistic beauty and wellness spot located in Wallingford, CT offers unique services to nourish body & soul. This is my go-to spot for health-conscious skincare, facials, or transformational self-care. I’ve learned so much from them about ayurvedic practices and ways to incorporate somatic healing into my self-care. Whether you’re joining them for a day in town or a week away in Costa Rica, lean in to feelings of abundance nurtured by these sisters who are passionate about uplifting others. Visit them to learn about health & beauty treatments, sound healing and more!
Daje Yoga & More
Dana is my go-to guru when I need an energy reset or am looking for super-gentle but effective yoga in a relaxed environment. It’s been such fun to work with her at TriCircle events & retreats! Besides her restorative yoga practices I book one-on-one sessions with her for biofield attunements which uses tuning forks and the principles of vibrational healing. I recommend her services for helping to clear blocked pathways and stuck emotion. As a metaphysical practitioner I always want to ensure that I am practicing good spiritual hygiene and whenever I need extra support and realignment I come see Dana.
