‘Tis the season to be jolly!!! It sure is. With holiday music flowing in my brain and joy radiating as I prepare holiday festivities with family and friends, it is certainly a gleeful time of year. But let’s face it, this season also culminates in anxiety from planning, coordinating, seeing relatives (not all family relationships
The importance of observing Yom Kippur and acts of kindness and forgiveness all year is essential. Change is a process. It takes steps, it takes a lot of introspection, dedication, recognition and continual connection to the higher-self, the universe, and for some, continued connection to one’s temple, church or place of worship.

I am so lucky to know South Florida’s leading massage therapist, Alexandra Paroulek-Bergbauer. Not only is she knowledgable beyond her years and a true self-care guru, but she is also one of the kindest humans you could meet. What I love most about Alexandra is that she deeply cares about her community and client’s needs,
