March-ing On, In Sickness and In Health
"Beware the ides of March," says a soothsayer to Julius Cesar in Shakespeare's play. It's a warning of danger to come upon an unprepared Cesar, with the added bonus of a timeline. "Danger" came to March 2018 in the form of the influenza virus that hit two Healing Foundations team members square on– and sideswiped another. After the worst– and contagiousness– had passed (treated with an appropriate mixture of Western and Eastern medicine), the experience gave a couple of us more than just a nagging cough, it provided all of us with some perspective on the work we do.
As a team of healers– empathetic and learned, intuitive and educated– we can't always be there to forewarn you of trouble coming your way, but everything we do is designed to support you before, during and after if it does. Many of you come through our door for help keeping your minds and bodies strong and nimble, but when you're not at your best– when the balance has tipped out of your favor, we're here for you, too.
Leave it to our dedicated and experienced acupuncturists to know which of the more than 400 acupuncture points are just the ones to get you going again. Have confidence that our classes will always be supportive and judgement free. Know that every bodywork and energy work treatment is conducted with empathy and integrity in a clean and safe environment.
Healing Foundations is not a spa. We provide serious healing, but every treatment, every therapy, and every cup of tea and diffuser full of calming essential oils is designed to support you every day; in sickness and in health.
"This to me is true medicine administered by intelligent professionals...Everyone needs a Healing Foundation in their life."
