Imagine Float
(Avon) Folks have been known to drive from NYC to spend a day in this healing haven. After our visit, we can see why. Imagine Float offers a peaceful wellness getaway where you can go to rest, reflect, recover, and enjoy services like Float Therapy, Whole Body Cryotherapy, Infrared Saunas, Ballancer Pro, and more!
Strive to improve and maintain your quality of life, not seek to achieve perfection.

Crystal Music Healing
(Berlin) Bradford Tilden was one of the first teachers and practitioners of Universal White Time Healing in the country. He now offers tailored sessions combining UWT gemstone healing, sound healing (we got to hear a small sample – MESMERIZED!), and energy healing. Check out the 3 months accelerated healing program (in-person or virtual) – awaken your full potential!
Seek within yourself for your truth, and seek outside yourself if you need assistance in getting there.

Step Bite Step
(Clinton + virtually) We’ve been fans of @wellbalancedwithbrooke‘s sound advice and good nutritional reminders for a while! Her business, Step Bite Step, helps people lose weight without restrictive fad diets. She teaches lasting healthy habits without the elimination of any foods. Support is at your fingertips with the Step Bite Step app; it’s like having a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist (Brooke!) in your pocket.
Achieving better health is about showing up every day, aiming for overall consistency vs. perfection. View setbacks as feedback on your journey, learning what works and what doesn’t. Pivot, adjust & keep going!

Forsythia Skin Care Studio
(Woodbury) Lastly, but as important as all of the above – take care of your skin! See a professional, get educated, and enjoy the MOST glorious facial at Forsythia Skin Care Studio. We try to see Kate every quarter and our faces thank us for it…by becoming all glowy! We love the hydra facial and the luxury facial. OMG.
There are 3 things to help you have your best skin. Using the right products for your skin. Facials every 4-6 weeks. And my number one…always (sun or rain, inside or out) wear your spf!
