For those of you who have ever donated to the “cat fund” know that I am still investing in our community by helping cats in need.
This sweet boy… yet once he went in that cage it was time for fight club ...showed up last week and after several slow days of feeding him and gaining his trust he is at the vet now getting antibiotics for his eye infection, getting wormed, being neutered and receiving the required vaccines.
I appreciate every cent ever given to me to help the cats of Troy! Working together we can make a difference.

Since we are getting so much rain this week I thought I’d take an opportunity to remind everyone of how important good hydration is to our bodies!

Here are some important roles that water plays in our bodies:

It helps regulate body temperature.
It helps to moisten tissues in your eyes, nose, and mouth.
It helps protect body organs and tissues.
It carries nutrients and oxygen to cells.
It lubricates joints.
It helps prevent constipation.
It aids in digestion.
It helps you absorb important vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from your food.
It assists the kidneys and liver by flushing out waste products.
It helps dissolve minerals and nutrients to make them accessible to your body.
It aids in cognitive function (our brains are made up of 70 to 80 percent water).
It helps improve mood.
It helps maximize physical performance.
It helps boost your energy level.
It helps fight off illnesses like kidney stones, asthma, UTIs, and hypertension.
It helps with weight loss by making you feel more full and increasing your metabolism.
It helps your skin look healthy and bright and may promote collagen production.

Like your car, you want your body to accelerate, stop, or coast (and conserve energy) depending on the situation. A healthy nervous system does something similar. It gasses up when you are excited or fearful, it brakes when you need to restore or protect yourself, and it coasts when life is flowing. This balance of output and restoration is the key to keep us safe because inevitably, we all experience some level of trauma.

At the Essentials Massage & Spa even things like the lighting, color and sounds in the treatment room are specifically chosen to help down regulate and reset your nervous system.

I warmly invite you to come and experience a finely detailed experience that meets you where you are the day you come in!
