We arrived at Wilbur Hot Springs two hours later than planned. Well, three actually, if you count the postponed departure. But seeing that it was just the two of us and we were looking forward to a leisurely drive up north, the freedom to leave at will overrode the aspiration for timeliness.
Mom was right about everything (well, almost everything.) Mother’s Day is on May 14th and a chance to celebrate the superwoman in your life. We’ve put together a list of our favorite spa gifts for mom to honor, nourish and love her totally.
We typically think of skin only as it relates to beauty — but it's actually important to overall health. Did you know that a single square centimeter of skin hosts approximately 1 million microbes with an estimate of over a 100 distinct species?

The storm hit but there was no thunder. News reports said it was the biggest downfall of the decade. The way the media talked about it made me think the rain was biblical and the floods to come were groundwork for some divine message. That’s how I read it, at least. I was sure Moses would descend from Mount Tamalpais with a tablet in either hand and have amended the commandments. Not that they were out dated.

I often start any class or talk I'm leading by asking the group what it means to be a healer. Ultimately, my goal is to articulate the difference between providing a service and providing a space.

My work may be healing but I am not a healer.
