Skin. Our body's largest organ. The boundary between things.

As a massage therapist, I see alot of skin. Every oil/essential oil product I choose to use in my practice is done with care and attention for my clients well being. Each product has its own profile of health benefits and is organic if i can get it.

As far as skin care regimen is concerned, I use very few products. Like my diet, I choose whole oils. No fancy ingredients i can't pronounce. No fragrances. And no preservatives. Once a week i take an Epsom salt bath to deep clean and reset. Every week or two I do an all natural clay mask with herbs from the garden mixed in. Of course each bath is a ritual of sorts, where by gratitude is given to the elements and creators.

It's common knowledge that the skin is home to millions of nerves that help us sense the world around us. And an ever increasing number of people are becoming aware that the nervous system doesn't end at the skins boundary. When the 🧠 quiet and the ❤️ is open, we can sense things that normally go unnoticed.

Through the power of energy medicine and sound therapy, healing can be offered without even needing to physically touch the body. Why? Because we may be separated by a boundary of skin, but we are all touching the same air. Vibration and frequency is physics. Learning how to harness it is powerful work that I am so grateful to do.

Stay tuned to learn more about the skin! And if you want to make sure we stay in touch 😉, join my email newsletter. You can access it via the website link in my profile.

Our commander in chief is testing the boundaries of her crown today. We have 2-3 more weeks of her indoor reign. Last week she suffered a melting corneal ulcer. Her ophthalmologist says the prognosis is good. If things continue on their current trajectory she will not need surgery and should recover with full vision. We just need to convince her that climbing the screen door to chase the birds is not in her best interest. Therese Livella

It pained me to give up my sourdough practice, but i am testing to see if dairy and gluten were causing inflammation. I do think cutting them out has been helpful. And I have lost 5 lbs without doing anything else. Still growing microgreens everyweek since 2018! Food is medicine!
