October 2019

Signs of fall are all around us including the first snow! Shorter days and cooler nights yield a great time for holistic lifestyle changes.This time of year is good to sleep, reset and regroup from fast paced summertime activities. Find time for yourself to relax and contract into this season of change. You deserve it! Happy Halloween!
