It is better to give than receive...

Go light your candle, go light your world!  The season of giving... Many of you gave, many of you received.  We all have gifts to give.  We all have a light that shines brightly.  Since the begining Heart & Soul has always given generously to our community.  We feel it is very important to reach out to our community.  We've given not only of our talents and our time.  We've donated countless gift certificates and gift baskets.  We also donated back to school supplies and canned food to our community.  We regularly collect expired manufactures coupons to give to our military families to use on base.  We also sign Christmas cards annually to send to our troops.  Our staff members have donated countless hours of complimentary chair massage. 
Since September 29, 2003 we have provided over 2,100 free chair massages.  Many have been to heroes in our community. 
Gift certificate donations have been given to over 60 different oganizations in our community.  Many have received yearly certificate donations from Heart & Soul.  Heart & Soul has helped with fund raising efforts for local injured law enforcement and fallen officers funds.  We've also raised funds for local injured troops, as well as our own staff members going through fianacial strain due to unexpected medical needs throughout the last 8 years.  Heart & Soul isn't just a day spa, or a group of people working together.  We are a family.  We go above an beyond to not only help meet the needs of our clients, but our community as well. 
This is a place where Heart meets Soul...

Heart and Soul Happenings: National Spa Week

National Spa Week

Does this photo make you feel serene?  How would a trip to a spa make you feel?  Can you imagine yourself listening to the relaxing sound of gentle rain, ocean waves, or the sounds of birds chirping?  I can.  What about the color green, how does it make you feel?  Hopefully relaxed.  Our eyes adjust very easily to green, because we are so used to seeing it in nature.  It's one of the most dominant colors we see on a regular basis.  Green, lavender and blue are considered the most relaxing colors.  When we started Heart & Soul, we chose shades of green intentionally for the walls and accent colors.  Many people have chosen green to paint their bedrooms and bathrooms in their homes because they want to create a place that they can unwind and feel like they are in nature or at a spa.  At Heart & Soul we do our best to create a relaxing atmosphere.  The treatment rooms have dim lighting to encourage relaxation.  Included in each treatment room is a Chakra candle, and a Himalayan crystal rock salt lamp.  Both help promote a sense of serenity.  They also help to balance and de stress your body, mind & spirit.  Each room is filled with the sounds of relaxing music as well.  Aromatherapy can be incorporated into many of our treatments.  Certain essential oils can actually help you to unwind.  Whether they are used on the body or diffused into the atmosphere, the natural aroma triggers something in our brain and our minds that relaxes us.  At Heart & Soul, services such as body scrubs and wraps, pedassages, hand scrubs and warm wax paraffin treatments can definitely make you feel pampered.  These treatments get blood flow to your extremities, can help detoxify your system, exfoliate and soften your skin.  If you are considering doing something special for yourself, a friend or a loved one, why not consider a spa service.  The treatments I've suggested can be done as individual services or combined with one of our many other treatments.  While some of these things can be done in your home, there's nothing quite like the feeling of treating yourself.  And while some may consider these services a luxury, every service we provide at Heart & Soul has benefits way beyond relaxation.  During National Spa Week, or really any time of the year... You will be amazed at how you feel when you experience any one of the amazing treatments at Heart & Soul!  We look forward to providing you a relaxing, reviving and rejuvenating experience in the near future!

Depression, Grief and the Benefits of Massage...

Suppressed emotions such as anger, grief, and fear can become crystallized throughout the muscle structure of the body leading to depression, aches, pains, and fatique on many levels. MASSAGE can release muscle tension, release stored emotions, and free the psyche while relaxing the body.  Individuals who are experiencing feelings of loss, sadness and frustration that are interfering with every day life can use MASSAGE to counteract the body chemistry that maintains the depression.  AROMATHERAPY can also be incorporated into the massage session to either relax or stimulate your mood.  Individuals who are experiencing these emotions: anxiety and depression- tend to hold their bodies in tense positions for prolonged periods of time, creating strain.  The compassionate touch of MASSAGE makes the individual feel connected, nurtured, worthwhile, cared for and relaxed.  MASSAGE can also improve your quality of sleep which may or may not be a result of insomnia.  It can help enhance your decision making skills regarding your overall health.  It is lowers your heart rate and blood pressure.  MASSAGE can support your return to physical and emotional health.  If you are recovering from emotional trauma, MASSAGE can give you more energy, and help comfort you through the time when you need it most.  It can create a safe place to experience positive emotions and help you reconnect with your body and your emotions.  It is vital to take time out when you are dealing with a loss of any kind.  Grief can lead to depression and MASSAGE increases endophins, your bodys natural healers.  Honor your feelings.  Relaxation can also be learned through focusing on small things such as pain relief, deeper breathing and awareness of how your body responds to stress.  To cope with stress, feelings of numbness, and distance consider MASSAGE.  You may have supressed your feelings, distanced yourself from others and buried yourself in work or other projects.  The gentle touch of MASSAGE can help ease you back from a loss, a state of depression or the feeling of constant anxiety.  The positive effects of MASSAGE will last well beyond the session.  You will start to feel a sense of freedom and relief.  Because MASSAGE cares for the whole body without judging, it can help you accept yourself right where you are.  Consider a MASSAGE for yourself or someone you know that is going through a difficult time.  Heart & Soul is committed to enriching your body, mind & spirit.
