Spine woes are back...
in fact they never left and are actually getting worse.

Do you deal with neck, back or spine pain? You are not alone. Have you and/or your insurance company spent a great deal of money on treatments and medication?  You are not alone.  Does your back still hurt? Unfortunately, you are still not alone and the numbers are growing.

Product Spotlight: 

Neti Pot™
Now available in the CVWC lobby and in our Online Store!!

The nasal passages contain one of our body's first lines of defense against disease. The layer of mucus that traps and disposes of dirt, dust and pollen can become thick and dry or thin and runny, which makes it easier for bacteria and viruses to cause problems. The saline solution in this Neti Pot™ carries some of these impurities out of the body.  Also available in a travel-sized version of the ceramic Neti Pot™. This is made of ultra-light food grade material which is microwave & dishwasher safe.   ·Soothe dry nasal passages ·Gently wash away dust, pollen, and irritants ·Remove excess mucus naturally ·Relieve nasal dryness due to air travel ·Improve the flow of breath before doing relaxation or meditation.

What our Mothers Love about being "Mom"..... 
{grandmothers too!}

~ "At this stage of my life, I love to see my grown children with their own children and know that they still need me. It is also the satisfaction I receive knowing that they are responsible, loving, intelligent, kind adults. Being a Grandma is the ultimate!!"
* Margaret Gibbons, Mother of 3, Grandmother of 4, Owner of CVWC


~ "It's watching these little people and their breakthroughs. It's about treasuring the moments of dependence on "Mom" as you raise them to be independent."
* Debbie Joseph, Mother of 3, Client of CVWC

~ "I love having fun with my kids! To see them as adults and having fond memories of their childhood that they want to repeat. Also, to know that I have had an impact on them. I love that they still want to jump in bed with me on a Sunday morning even though they are adults!"
* Lydia Williams, Mother of 5, Pilates Instructor at CVWC  

~ "WOW - where do I begin?  Being "in the moment", and sincerely appreciating that moment, is easiest when I'm with my kids and grandkids.  Even if I'm not personally interacting with them - just observing them, or even thinking of them, fills me with pure love. They consistently help me realize what a lucky Mom and Nana I am - that I am truly blessed."

* Ruth Zielinski, Mother of 3, "Nana" of 2, Client of CVWI  (& Sean's Mom!)

~ "When they handle a situation exactly the way they are supposed to without our coaching or prompting, it makes us so proud!"
* Lynn Pietrow, Mother of 2, Client of CVWC

~"I look forward to meeting her."  
* Angel Velotta, mother-to-be, Student of CVWI  

~ "Motherhood is the most challenging and the most rewarding. It's the Miracle of Life. They surprise you so much! Everything about motherhood is amazing!"
* Debra David, Mother of 1 with another on the way, Student of CVWI  

~ "It depends on the stage of life; when they're babies it's great to bond and watch them explore. As they are older, it is great to have a friendship with them. Motherhood is one of God's best blessings in this world."
* Susie Novak, Mother of 3, Student of CVWI  

~ "Everything! I love the smiles, laughs, hugs and kisses. I love all of the innocent things they say. I love watching them play together and learn together. I love teaching them, and learning from them. I hate when they're sick or scared, but I love being the one that they call for in the middle of the night, just for a kiss and hug...to know mommy is there and everything will be alright."
* Rachel Haseman, Mother of 2, sister of CVWC staff member  

~ "The joy of having children to surround you when you need a friend."
* Karen Bielek, Mother  of 3, (& Ashleigh's mom)

Meet Jarvis Wrazen
New CVWC Pilates Instructor
Jarvis joins the CVWC family with over 9 years of Pilates Instruction under his belt.  Shortly after graduating with a B.S.S. in Exercise Physiology from Ohio University in 2004, Jarvis studied in the U.K. with Alan Herdman, "who helped shift my perspective on Pilates."  He goes on to say, "I believe that Pilates is something I'll be doing into my 90's, and it'll be something that will allow me to stay active well into my 90's."   Staying active is a way of life for Jarvis. He has been working out for nearly 20 years and still loves playing volleyball, tennis and traveling.

 "I am excited about joining the CVWC team and look forward to learning & growing with this amazing staff!"
