Foot Facts and Toe Tidbits by Traci Fors of True Harmony

Try a Reflexology session

Unsure about having a full body massage, not sure you want to undress, just not comfortable with people touching your body. Reflexology is your answer. Receive the same benefits from a full body massage while only having your feet worked on.

How Reflexology Can Support the Menopause Experience

Regular reflexology treatments can support a menopausal woman physically, mentally and emotionally. It can help a woman tune into her body’s needs, highlighting imbalances and areas which need attention. It can provide a safe space in which to relax, receive and be self-focused. Having an empathic reflexologist who understands the physical changes behind menopausal symptoms and takes her problems seriously can, in itself, relieve stress.

Reflexology for Men's Health

In today’s stressful work environment men can benefit from the relaxation effects of a Reflexology session. Reflexologists actually work therapeutically, much like an Acupuncturist would. By stimulating points within the reflex maps the Reflexologist is encouraging the body to find a balance for itself. The whole map is stimulated and therefore the entire body gets attention, while only the feet are being worked on.

Male Reproductive and Urologic Health

The male reproductive organs can suffer from a variety of conditions including but not limited to:

· Infertility – male factor infertility can account for up to 40% of all conception problems and can range from genetic to physiological to hormonal and sperm abnormalities.

· Urologic diseases and disorders – prostate cancer, hematospermia (blood in the semen), incontinence, and enlarged prostate.

· Sexual disorders – dysfunctions including premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction

Exfoliation

2009-11-06T14:22:00-07:00

Our skin sheds and sluffs off dead skin cells about every 30 days. However the older we get the less able our skin is to shed all the dead skin cells effectively. That being the case our skin surface builds up more and more dead skin cells and debris, preventing the absorption of healthy skin products and nourishment.

Exfoliation happens in two ways. One way is manual exfoliation by using facial scrubs. This is helpful in removing the outer layer of dead skin cells but does not reach into our pores to clear out the debris. That requires enzymatic exfoliation which is what Aestheticians use during treatments. These enzymatic exfoliators are made up of various acids and natural enzymes that break down the dead skin cells that are deeply embedded in our pores.

The clearing out of this debris allows our skin to breath better and prevents bacterial infections and acne by removing what bacteria feeds on. It will minimize the appearance of our pores as they are not full of sebum and debris and are visibly cleaner.

After a true skin treatment our skin feels soft and looks healthy.

Feed Your Skin

2009-10-29T14:42:34-07:00

Our skin eats. Its true. There are products available that contain nutrients that our skin loves. Lavendar, Rosemary, Neem and Bergamot are essential oils that are rich in anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Neem is especially beneficial for your skin as an anti-bacterial.

Eating foods rich in anti-oxidants such as blueberries, pomegranates, etc. assist the skin in fighting free radicals that make the skin look dull. Carrots are loaded with Beta Carotene which helps protect the skin from sun damage such as hyperpigmentation or melasma. Omega 3 which is found in fish is very healthy and nourishing for our skin as well as our internal organs. If fish isn't appealing there are supplements available and Flax seed oil is a good source of Omega 3.

Dance Dance Revolution!

2009-10-22T12:04:06-07:00

Dance Dance Revolution! in Mesa Arizona. De-stress while having fun building your cardio.

In this day and age while everyone is handling major difficulties and life situations, important things like health and mental well-being get put on the back burner. This causes stress, ugly attitudes, wrinkles and weight gain. Sherry V. has found an innovative way to shake some of the stress and pounds away in a fun and high energy cardio dance workout class.

Music and dancing is a known stress reduction and cardiovascular training is the traditional way to burn calories and lose weight. Sherry decided to enhance her dance classes by adding an extra cardio bump and by gearing it into more of a workout class. She teaches Bhangra for the first part of class. This is a very high energy dance that originates from the Punjab region of Northern India. The music is driven by the dohl beats (a type of bass drum) and motivates even the tired participants to ‘pump it’ even a little bit more! She also incorporates African Fusion and Belly Dance into the 60 minute session. Sherry has become well known in the Valley for her Bhangra classes. In the past three years, her classes have been featured in the Republic, the East Valley Tribune, the ASU’s paper State Press and most recently in the article “8 ways to reduce stress” in Business Week.com.

After the initial blast of cardio with Bhangra dance, she starts the toning section with the cultural dance of the middle east, bellydance. She has professionally performed in the US and the UK since 2004. This section of class helps isolate specific muscles groups in the arms, chest, back, abs and hips. All women love to learn the moves from this sensual dance style.

Then after the women in class catch their breath and connect with their internal sensuality, Sherry dives into the full body expression of African Fusion. She originally learned this mishmash of West African and Belly dance moves from her dance troupe director, Heidi Alexander, of the renowned Domba! 20 minutes of dancing to this heart pounding music fully opens the body, stimulates the endorphins and gets everyone breaking into a sweat!

Sherry teaches at her office at the Center for True Harmony Wellness & Medicine™ PC in Mesa AZ every Wednesday night from 6.10p – 7.10p and has recently added a Belly Dance Lunch Workout class held Tuesday afternoon from 11-noon. Contact info to sign up for class is: www.trueharmonywellness.com or phone 480-539-6646. The Center for True Harmony Wellness & Medicine™ PC is located at 2152 S. Vineyard #138, Mesa AZ 85210.
