Greetings!
As many of you know by now, I have embarked on a new venture: private practice. Once I put my mind in motion everything fell into place...fast! Thank you for your support and patience while I learn, grow, and expand. I will send notes out like this periodically that will include updates and promos, quick tips, and things you can do at home to boost your wellness routine.
PS...there is a video for you at the bottom.
All things booking
To book with me is still easy. Go to my website and select BOOK in the menu bar. There you will be guided to select a time via a single session or by purchasing a package.
Now is a great time to purchase a package because you can take advantage of my special introductory pricing.
After you've created a booking and profile, you can log in and make any adjustments to your appointment. If you have questions, please email me, bodyworkbyannie@gmail.com. Note the cancellation policy.
Upon booking, you will be sent a health intake and waiver. It would mean the world to me if you filled it out before your session.

Wellness tip
Something I love to do in the mornings to start my day off right is to drink warm water with lemon. I know, I know, it may sound like the least appealing thing because it's not caffeinated, but you can have your coffee afterward. The benefits are vast in this small, easy cup:
promotes smooth digestion
boosts immunity
improves skin appearance
balances pH
increases energy naturally
and more...
Let me know if you try this out.
Stretch focus
Today I want to work on the spine. Let's look at a spinal flexion movement. That may sound like gibberish, but it's moving the spine forward and backward.
How this benefits you:
Opens chest
Release tension between the shoulder blades
Increases blood flow, which increases energy
Creates space between vertebrae
A lot of people know this as cat/cow in yoga. I prefer cat lift and cat tuck because it describes the movement.
Our aim is to flex the spine. Arching the spine forward or down opens the chest and the fronts of the shoulders. Rounding the spine backward or up opens up the upper and mid-back. Both feel incredible.
You can do a version of this from your chair, standing in the grocery aisle, or on the floor. I promise!
Simple guidelines to stretching: breathe, breathe, breathe. For a dynamic move, inhale as you arch and exhale as you round. For the static version, inhale going in; hold for 3 breath cycles; exhale coming out. In through your nose, out through your mouth.
Check out the video below to be guided through the stretch.
Thanks for tuning in and if there is anything you’re curious about, let me know.
Lastly, happy mother's day to ALL of the moms out there. Fur baby and plant moms included.
Remember you're amazing,
Annie
