You know our logo is "green"...

...did you know our business is going "green?" by Marge Gibbons 

  A balanced body creates an environment for internal healing and strengthening, and a balanced earth creates an environment for global healing and strengthening! 


  Chagrin Valley Wellness Center offers Muscle Release Therapy for a balanced posture.  To contribute to efforts aimed at achieving a balanced environment, our business has taken steps to go "green."


Functional Movement with Pilates Machines classes and Muscle Release Therapy encourage natural balance between posture and movement to re-educate and nourish the tissue.  "Green" lifestyle and business initiatives encourage natural balance between humanity and nature by reeducating us to nourish the earth. 

 
We have taken steps to become more "environmentally conscious."  Our business efforts to be more "green" include recycling and reducing our consumption of paper by:

·        Online Client History Form

·        Scanning all forms into our client's file thus eliminating the need for more paper, folders, hanging folders, and labels.   

·        Our on-line newsletter.   

·        Bags of shredded materials are taken to the Metroparks for recycling. 

·        Recycle the plastics bottles that our clients return to us*. 

* We offer clients bottled water to replenish the fluid lost after a therapy session, relaxation massage, or a Pilates class.  Re-hydrating the body is critical to allow fluid movement of cells in the body. 


Recycling, shredding and going paperless is part of our lifestyle here at CVWC; to nourish the earth and encourage natural balance between man and trees, earth, water, and air.

Dear Friend,

Well, with any luck we can put the shovel and snow blower in storage and take the scraper out of the car. It's time to gas up the lawn mower and and put the golf clubs back in the trunk. Time to swap coats for jackets and knit hats for ballcaps.  

SPRING IS HERE!!

So much to do....now that Spring is finally here!  

As the weather becomes more mild we find ourselves engaging in non-winter activities.......the migration of "cold weather clothes" to their warm weather hiding place...the return of our longed-for spring/summer apparel...a thorough spring cleaning of the house...the cars...the patio...the garden...the yard!!!  There's a lot to do.   Don't do too much too fast! Avoid the risk of injuring yourself early in the "fun season" and being excluded from activities you've been waiting all winter to enjoy.  Don't miss our April 8th Seminar {click for more info}as Dennis will be discussing "Proper Movement for Spring Activities."  

And remember what you've learned in Pilates class: breathe, slow~controlled functional movements & stay hydrated.

 "My Nutrition Exploration"
               by Ashleigh Pennington

  Working at Chagrin Valley Wellness Center, I cannot help but be intrigued by how the body works. Our bodies are fascinating inside and out. The human body uses any possible defense to protect us from harm and it never wants us to be in pain. This includes nutrition and the foods we allow into our bodies.

  My most recent exploration of health and wellness led me to...{click here to continue article}.

      Essential Oil:   Lavender

Lavender is the most versatile aromatic oil used in aromatherapy today. Lavender is highly regarded for its relaxing effect on the nervous system, with an overall balancing effect on the mind and the emotions. It is also one of the few essential oils that can be safely applied without having to be diluted. Lavender has been studied for its ability to help restful; deep sleep. Other values of lavender include relieving hot flashes, tension headaches, burns, cuts and arthritic pain.
