You deserve more than one day, but for today make this one a special one. 🤩

Today and this week we celebrate nurses 👩‍🔬

NationalNurses Day is observed annually on May 6th. On this day, we raise awareness of all nurse contributions and commitments and acknowledge the vital role nurses play in society. This day is also the first day of National Nurses Week and is sometimes known as National RN Recognition Day.

National Nurses Week begins May 6th and ends on May 12th, which is the birthday of Florence Nightingale (May 12, 1820 – August 13, 1910). Florence Nightingale was a celebrated English, social reformer, statistician, and thefounder of modern nursing. She became well-known while taking care of the wounded soldiers during the Crimean War. Nightingale was dubbed “The Lady with the Lamp” because of her habit of making rounds at night.

May 4th is International Firefighter's Day. Firefighters dedicate their lives to the protection of life and property. Sometimes that dedication is in the form of countless hours volunteered over many years, in others it is many selfless years working in the industry.

We at A Holistic Balance salute you for all that you do.

It is May 1st and it is Therapeutic Massage Awareness Day 😌

There’s no better day than Therapeutic Massage Awareness Day to take advantage of the many benefits these massages provide. Whether you’ve never experienced a massage before or get one regularly, consider massages a necessary element of your self-care routine rather than a luxury that you can not afford to give yourself.

Take advantage of the day and relax under the gentle hands of a massage therapist ☯

Activities You Can Do Today ...
Get a massage
If you have never had a massage, today is a great day to get one. Another great idea is to buy a friend, family member, or partner a gift certificate.

Thank your massage therapist
Another way to celebrate is to thank your masseuse for those relaxing massages. You can show your appreciation in different ways: a card, verbally, or by giving an extra tip.

PLEASE SUPPORT

A goal for this year was to get back to giving back to the community. One of the ways I used to give back was helping out in the homeless community. There are so many areas of the homeless community that one can focus on, but for an upcoming fundraiser I am hoping to bring better awareness about homeless youth in our area.

I am hoping you my clients, friends and colleagues will be kind enough to support me in this much needed endeavor. I appreciate whatever you may be able to give to support this worthy cause.

National Stretching Day is dedicated to educating people on the numerous benefits that come with self or assisted-stretching.

Stretching improves our lifestyle and helps us live a better life. When we stretch daily, we increase our mobility and keep our muscles flexible and strong. Due to sedentary lifestyles of growing older or over stressed muscles, people develop excessive resting muscle tone causing everyday movement to be difficult, cumbersome, or painful. Our independence becomes compromised, partially due to a greater inability to move.
