Expanding Services to the 2nd Floor at Thrive
We are excited to announce that later this year we will be expanding to the second floor of our building.
Massage therapist Kelly Nickel will move upstairs where she and her clients will enjoy more space in a quieter, private environment.
There will also be additional space on the second floor for other health and bodyworkers to join us. We will keep you posted on the progress!

More Cool Benefits to Meditation Practice
In this article, Harvard neuroscientist Sarah Lazar describes the benefits of meditation. Sarah became interested in meditation through yoga classes and wondered if science could show any positive physiological changes with meditation.

It is also encouraging that cool brain improvements happen in only 8 weeks of meditation,
Even better, five or ten or 20 minutes of meditation is beneficial. Like other healthy habits such as exercise and clean eating, the more you do it, the better off you are, but even a few days a week will improve your health.
