As days get shorter, embark into self care to reduce stress, support immunity and unblock your potential energy.
Shiatsu is a Japanese massage that focuses on rebalancing the body’s energy (Ki) by applying finger pressure along the body meridians.
One of the particularities of shiatsu is that it is performed dressed, and no oils are used. A full session works head to toe because the meridians flow in the whole body. With gentle pressure the practitioner aims to re-establish the natural flow of Ki/Qi following the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It’s known to reduce stress and pain, improve sleep, digestive tract issues, and hormonal imbalances.
Queer Keratin Gift Certificates
My dear community, it is the time of year once again where one might be giving a seasonal gift, or perhaps a few! Queer Keratin is offering Gift Certificates! In any amount ranging from as little as $10.00 at the lowest end of the sliding scale to as much as your generous heart desires.
Gift certificates can be purchased in advance by e-transfer to queerkeratin@protonmail.com, minimum $10.
In terms of the service I provide, I am feeling through community feedback that my foot care services are the fan favourite! This is good news for me, as it is the service I find I am most skilled and confident at performing. The basic foot care I provide is collaborative, and focuses on client comfort and safety. I make the space as accessible as possible, keeping things quiet and usually no “big light” allowed. I am always open to suggestions and feedback about this though and the space is very flexible in terms of how we arrange things – send your feedback to queerkeratin@protonmail.com.
Herbal Support for Immunity this Fall with Em Postl, Community Herbalist
Fall means a lot of beautiful things are coming our way, but it also means we are entering a
season of peak illness. Thankfully, herbs are here for us (as always), with their medicines
and magic to help our bodies adjust and prepare for this seasonal shift. Like with most
things, there’s a lot of nuance around which herbs are best suited to specific illnesses, and
people, but the herbs and suggestions below are a good place to start.
PREVENTATIVE herbal support:
Astragalus, reishi and turkey tail are examples of tonics that help build up your immune system so that you’re less likely to get sick in the first place.
These are long term herbs that you take daily over 3+ months and can be taken as a decocted tea (simmering on the stove), powders, capsules, or tinctures (make sure your medicinal mushrooms are double extracted).
