Mother’s Day Massage Spa Specials

 

This Mother’s Day treat the mom in your life (or yourself!) like a Queen for a Day at Queen Anne Healing Arts.

This Mother’s day Queen Anne Healing Arts is offering the biggest deal ever for MOMS, when you buy a 90 Minute Massage Gift Certificate you get a 60 minute Reiki gift certificate for FREE! It’s a BOGO, buy one get one free special that will only last until 5/12/13!  You can purchase this deal online on our website, using the handy dandy Paypal button, or purchase on website “store” or give a call to pick up in office (our office hours can be tricky b/c we are so often in session!)

I am also offering a special Mother’s Day Coffee Scrub, in honor of my own mother who is a true coffee lover!  I had one of these coffee scrubs at a Spa in California and I fell in love with the results…  It really is detoxifying and invigorating. There are claims that it can even help you shed pounds and reduce cellulite (just in time for swimsuit season!)  It did seem to increase my metabolism, I was starving afterwards!  Just in time for spring cleaning, this coffee scrub contains Organic Equal Exchange coffee, organic cold pressed coconut oil and cinnamon, all powerful antioxidants!

We also have some great new Spring Inspired Aromatherapy oils from Floracopeia including Blue Tansy, Ylang Ylang, Holy Basil, Chamomile, Star Jasmine and of course a blend called “Mother” that is wonderful for pregnancy it contains Rose Geranium and Neroli.

Prosperity Reiki Class

 

We had such a fun time at the last Reiki class, with 6 students & the cutest dog!

I think we will offer this version of Reiki again in May because it was inspiring, even for me!
Saturday May 11th, 2013 is the next Reiki 1 class.
Reiki 2 Class will be offered in June.
Check our Reiki Class page for updates.
This Spring I will also be teaching Fertility Acupressure again.
Remember that Tracy will be offering 1/2 off Reiki sessions on Sundays through May 1st!
This is a great opportunity to try Reiki at a discount, if you have never tried it before.

Nettle Soup time!

Posted on: March 6th, 2013 by healing_arts_admin
Nettles

Nettles are Natures Antihistamine!

Nettles (Urtica)

It’s Nettle Season once again, time to harvest Nettles as they shoot up in the woods or maybe even in your yard.  There are many places to harvest Nettles here in the Northwest.  I hope if you do go out harvesting, you use the rule of 20, which is you only pinch off the tops of one plant for every 20 plants you see. I have seen some real devastation of Nettle groves in area parks and it’s heartbreaking.

If you don’t feel like putting the rubber gloves on to harvest them yourself, I have seen them @ the Ballard Farmer’s market.  Nettles are nature’s antihistamine, if you eat fresh nettles at the beginning of Spring, you will prevent allergies to pollen.  Nettles are also rich in minerals and calcium. As a mom, I have found nettle tea to be the most effective treatment for growing pains (my son is going to be tall, he gets these all the time!)  Nettles are extremely nourishing to your blood and chi.  Nettles have a unique earthy flavor I just love.

I came up with my own Nettle Soup recipe, it’s similar to Potato Leek Soup w/ Nettles.

1 tbsp grapeseed oil

1 tbsp Olive oil

3 tbsp butter

3-5 cloves garlic

2 Large Leeks, washed & sliced

5-8 potatoes (Yukon golds are my fave for this)

Generous Quantity Nettles, fresh picked & rinsed

3 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 tbls lemon juice)

Salt & Pepper to taste

1 tsp thyme

Saute Leeks and garlic in the olive oil, grapeseed oil and butter for 3 minutes, toss in chopped up potatoes, add 3 cups broth, simmer with lid on for 15 minutes.  Then add Nettles, simmer low with lid on for 5-10 minutes until the nettles look like cooked spinach. Turn off heat, add salt & pepper and juice of one lemon.  Then blend the soup in a blender or with a penguin hand blender.  I like to add roasted pine nuts and parmesan to this soup just before serving.

Nettle Soup

 

I have also made pesto with Nettles & it’s really great, just substitute Nettles for Basil in your pesto recipe (make sure to parboil the nettles for 5 minutes to soften the stingers before making pesto).

I also like to dry some nettles to enjoy the rest of the year.  With gloves on, I just tie string around the nettles and then hang them from a laundry line.  I have made massage oil with Nettles by stuffing them in a jar with grapeseed oil and letting it sit for 6-8 weeks.  Nettle oil is wonderful for tired muscles and again can be massaged on legs for growing pains.  Dr. Haushka’s makes a great Nettles oil with Arnica & Birch if you don’t want all the work of harvesting and making your own nettle oil.

Harvesting Nettles for Tea, massage oil & tinctures

If you don’t want to pick your own Nettles to make a body oil diffusion, I highly recommend Dr. Haushka’s Arnica oil which contains Nettles

Do you remember these 1999 Massage prices?!
boy, how prices have become inflated in these 14 years!  Coffee, gas, houses, cars…oh my!

14 year anniversary is Ivory apparently.  I cannot believe I have been doing Massage for so long.  Some of you have been with me the entire time from getting free practice massages while I was at Brenneke School Of Massage, to the MarQueen Hotel where I rented a space at La Pelle Spa to the Acupuncture Clinic “Queen Anne Natural Health”, to my old space on Queen Anne Ave N. by Diablo coffee, to my current incarnation as Queen Anne Healing Arts on the crown of Queen Anne…Wow, what a long, strange trip it’s been…

Thank you so much for your continued support of my dream!

Business is better than ever, Saturdays are consistently full, with a growing waitlist, as one of my Saturday regulars said, “someone probably has to die for new clients to get in on a Saturday!”  Yes, I am truly loyal to my regulars who have continued to be in the Saturday loop! Yet, cancelations do happen, so if you’re trying to get in on a Saturday, just keep trying or give us a call and be added to the wait list…I also post cancelations on my Facebook page, so a great way to find out about openings is to follow my business page under Queen Anne Massage.

If you didn’t know about Tracy Pitcock, she has been offering Reiki on Sundays.  So far everyone loves her! She has generously offered 1/2 off her Reiki rate for the Anniversary sale, too.

Also, I am offering Reiki 1 classes once a month now.  It has been so fun and empowering! The next Reiki class is 3/16/13 and this class will focus on Reiki for Prosperity.  You can learn more about this on our Reiki page, I will have more details about this Prosperity Reiki class in an upcoming blog, too.
