a complete mind and body refresher in this fast-paced world

Retreat in Grayton Beach, Florida

Plant a tiny seed from which a mighty life skill will grow.

Come join in the fun and bask in the support from like-minded thinkers.
We will be melding with the forces of nature, seeing the sunrise and sunset, listening to the waves lapping on the shore, feeling the sunlight and soft breeze on our skin and smelling the fresh air.

The events of the days will include great healthy food (whys, what and how to prepare). Massage, special meditations, empowering hypnosis (also lessons in self-hypnosis), a special time for gratitude. We will spend time on the beach for ‘eye yoga’ and the building of our Labyrinth, weather permitting, Qi Gong and chair yoga.

Our evenings will be filled with discussions, music, meditation, and a very special project. Oh, LAUGHTER!! The beautiful white sand beaches await you. It’s time to sign up and commit to yourself. This is the calm before the holidays, time to focus on YOU!!

The tuition is all-inclusive: $745. A deposit of $250, holds your place. The balance is due October 25, 2017. We are limited to the number of participants, so please decide and commit soon.

Our home away from home is directly on the beach, it’s actually my favorite! Keeping it real for a life of happiness and abundance,

— Ellen LaRocca

Not to mention the laughter and chatter of friends, learning great strategies for great health and growing younger together.

The theme for this retreat is “Colors – How Mother Nature Paints Health”. The retreat will involve lots of new science, meditation, brain health, yoga, massage and two hands-on cooking classes. Oh, and so much more.

Massage For The Health Of It

Create Vitality, Grow Younger

Stress is the culprit on the loose! But how does it appear? Who admits that they are storing stress in their body? “Oh, I can handle the little knocks along the way.” The truth may be that we are not always handling stress, we may be storing stress. Unresolved stress is cumulative and finds hideout places in your body. It is the genesis of all dis-ease. So why not manage stress effectively?

Massage is one of the most proficient tools available. Think about muscle strains, low back pain, tired feet, TMJ dysfunction, tennis elbow, chronic headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia…this list could be endless. Massage has a very effective place in the lessening (maybe even ridding) of these and many other problems that you may come up against.

If you reduce the stress, you reduce the oxidative reactions that create the aging effects in your body, thus slowing the aging process.

The effects of massage is cumulative, meaning a good bodywork maintenance program is beneficial toward claiming and keeping your health.

To learn how massage can help you, call for your free consultation and let us help you design your personal path to health through massage and bodywork.
