Kitty’s Corner

Today, I (Ali) was traveling down Creston Road and a beautiful sporty car came out of nowhere and sped in front of me as though tearing for the finish line in the Indy 500.  Seriously…it was going fast.  A lovely, small black bird with white wing tips tried to fly low across the road just as the car zoomed forward.  The small bird got sucked up in right tire and hood of the car and fell limp to the ground within seconds on left side of the vehicle.  The driver didn’t even notice the bird and kept going the same speed as before.  But my heart stopped and a sick feeling and sadness filled me as the bird lay lifeless on the pavement.  I felt helpless as there was nothing I could do.

As this bird lie motionless, it reminded me about how so much damage is caused by us and to each other.  Sometimes we move so mindlessly, so involved in our own thing that we bulldoze over others without even recognizing that we have hurt someone’s feelings or seriously wounded someone’s heart.  I’ve been guilty of this myself before.  Are you speeding through life?

Thanksgiving is almost upon us and Christmas is just around the corner.  Sometimes spending more time with family can ignite our own personal triggers, but this year, we hope you remember the bird and slow down; become more mindful.  Might there be a better way to resolve whatever challenging situation arises?  Whatever you do…don’t be a turkey.  Try gentleness this year—toward yourself and toward others.  See what a difference it can make.

If you’d like us to help you with that gentleness, come treat yourself or someone else to our pumpkin facial special or enjoy a sound therapy session special below.  We hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving!!

We wish you all the best and optimal health!

Much love,
Kitty (Owner) & Ali (Master Certified Health & Wellness Coach)

November Specials

Bulletin

• Please note date change:  Elana Peters will be doing a book signing about her book Hard Questions Simple Answers at The Spa Central Coast on Saturday, December 14 from 11:00am-2:30pm.  This is a workbook and resource guide for older adults and their families. Most Families are totally unprepared and often overwhelmed by the complexity of issues involved when dealing with the care of aging parents/spouses/older loved ones. HARD QUESTIONS, SIMPLE ANSWERS is a must have for families who need guidance in making wise, educated choices on behalf of an aging loved one.
• Please welcome back Katie and Marisa!  Both are dual licensed in facials and massage; however, Marisa is only doing facials at this time.  For those of you who have enjoyed their treatments in the past, come enjoy them again!  Please also welcome Rosa, another talented massage therapist who just joined our team.
• Please note that we have a strict 24-hour change and cancellation policy for       members and non-members.  If you need to change or cancel your appointment, please contact us 24 hours prior to your appointment; otherwise, you will be charged for the appointment.  If you’re a member with credits, a credit will be taken.  We have to be strict about this because we have to pay our employees regardless of whether or not you show.
• We do sound therapy tuning at The Spa.  Frequency-specific tuning forks find static in our electromagnetic biofield (usually created from emotional or physical trauma or sadness).  Tuning take this stuck energy, reharmonizes it, and returns it back to the body in order to restore the body’s vitality.  It can help with depression, anxiety, physical pain, PTSD, stress, addiction recovery, grief, and more.  We are vibration and frequency so it makes sense to heal the body through vibration and frequency.
• We no longer allow gratuity to be put on credit cards.  If you’d like to leave your therapist gratuity, please bring cash.

Kitty’s Corner: Wash-Stress-Away Routine

I’ve found that one of the best stress reducers is to have a nighttime face cleansing routine. A few months ago, I changed the name of many of our Spa line products so they could be used as a mantra—a positive affirmation to ourselves when we use them.

At night to begin my wash-stress-away routine, I cleanse my face with either our “I Am Cleansed ,”I Am Milky Lavender” or our LaFlore cleanser. I then put a few drops of one of our Spa line nighttime oils, like “I Am Stress Free” on my hands, rub, and take in a few breaths while I say out loud several times: “I Am Stress Free.” Our Spa line nighttime oils not only work on environmental stress that our skin undergoes, but they also can serve to relax us psychologically if we use the name on the bottle as an evening mantra.

My favorite end to my routine, especially now that fall is here, is to put a few drops of “I Am Stress Free” into a warm bath to dissolve any lingering stressful remnants from my day.

If you don’t have a routine and would like me to help you create one for you, please let me know. Consultations are free.

Much Love,
Kitty (Owner)
