Today's Wellness Workshop Highlight: Acupuncture!

Terri Varney of Hands That Heal will offer auricular acupuncture in the upstairs space. Participants will sit for a minimum of 15 minutes following the treatment.

Auricular (ear) acupuncture is an intervention used in addiction recovery that may help regulate mood and reduce cravings by influencing neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. The practice also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and lowering stress levels. Because stress is a major trigger for relapses, this calming effect can support sustained recovery and emotional stability.

No cost or pre-registration required, just come and enjoy!

Today we are highlighting one of the wellness workshops available this Friday: Reiki!

Reiki with Pam Benedetto of Inspiring Transformation Reiki will take place upstairs with individual, 15 minute long sessions.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing modality that promotes deep relaxation and stress relief. Studies have shown that Reiki can alleviate physical and psychosocial stress that occurs during withdrawal and subsequent recovery stages of addiction treatment.
