So happy to see places like this opening up. Bonus, I bumped into a fellow Massage Therapist I used to work with who is working here. Take time to recharge if you can. Tomorrow will be another day to help.
Cheers!

This absolutely breaks my heart. 7 Clans Brewing, one of my favorite local micro breweries has apparently gone out of business. There will be many more like this after this devastating storm.

LaLa Gal and anyone else looking for places to donate

You asked in the comments where to give:

Avlcitychurch.com/give I run that fund 100% straight to the local needs $0 not one penny goes to admin costs there’s no pastor at the top getting wealthy at all!

Criout.com is Crisis Response International and they showed up 12 hours after we called and went to work bringing semis of resources nonstop and 40+ volunteers that sleep on AVL City Church floor every night. There CEO isn’t in some office far away— he too sleeps on our church floor and works 15 hour+ days with the crews. They don’t waste money on stupid stuff and they show up with heroic leadership every day. Truly a trim of operation— literally washing foil pans to reuse.

What an amazing weekend, neck deep in learning NeuroMuscular Reprogramming with the one and only Jocelyn Olivier! I took Mod 4 almost 20 years ago so this was a “refresher” for me but she continues to evolve the information based on her 50 years of clinical experience. If you are a Massage Therapist and want to begin this journey, come to Asheville November 15-17 for Mod 1 where I will be her Teaching Assistant again. If you have pain patterns that have not resolved with other modalities, come see me. This is truly life changing work.
