Just Be Bodyworks – May 2019 Newsletter

MAY I chat with you about wellness?

Holy sunshine Rogue Valley! Spring has sprung and we are all hopefully emerging from our hibernation and enjoying all of the beautiful natural spaces in our community! I know that hiking, boating, swimming, gardening and anything sunshine related is at the top of my list! But as we move and nourish our bodies, May is also a great reminder of the importance of our mental wellness as well.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and a great opportunity to put a little extra TLC into managing ongoing mental health issues such as anxiety or depression, as well as the perfect time to start a self-care routine to work proactively towards our overall mental wellness too. Mental Health America is utilizing this month to highlight the importance of work-life balance, animal companionship, spirituality, recreation, social connection & humor in achieving balanced mental health. 

Just Be Bodyworks intends to continue to promote the importance of stress management and self-care this month and every month. Our mission after all is “wellness; mind, body & soul.” Along with our regular wellness classes (guided meditation, partners massage, infant massage & toxin free living *see schedule below) we also have some new offerings from the studio this month, to help further this mission.

NEW Upcoming Wellness Events

Kids Mindfulness Workshops – Date TBD (July & August)

​Just Be Bodyworks has partnered with The Family Connection, a local NPO, to develop an 8 week kids mindfulness summer workshop. The goal of this workshop is to teach children the skills of self-regulation, mindfulness & coping in stressful situations through reflective conversation, guided meditation, artistic expression, journaling exercises & various engagement activities. You guys asked for kids meditation and it is coming! Dates and details are still to be determined but it will take place in July & August.

Pregnancy Massage

 ​You may remember that I announced that I am not taking any new massage clients however I have created a loophole for you. All you have to do is get pregnant! I have intentionally built some availability into my schedule for new prenatal/pregnancy massage clients. This is a modality and population that is near and dear to my heart and I look forward to working more with more pregnant mamas for private massage sessions. Please contact me directly to schedule. I also have gift certificates available, for these sessions perfect for Mothers Day right around the corner as well as spring time baby showers. purchase gift certificates

Gift Certificates Available

Give the gift of wellness! Gift certificates are available for the Couples Massage Classes, Infant Massage Classes, Guided Meditation Groups & Prenatal Massage sessions. There is also the option to purchase a general wellness gift certificate at a custom price to be used towards any of the wellness education classes. These make great gifts for weddings, anniversaries, baby showers or the fast approaching Mothers Day! purchase gift certificates
