Well friends, we have officially entered the holiday season! 2025 has been a particularly challenging year for so many people and we find ourselves holding immense gratitude for so many things.
Did you know that practicing gratitude is good for your health? That’s right! Research shows that having a daily gratitude practice can lead to increased resiliency, improved sleep, lower inflammatory levels, and improved overall health. For more information and research references: 14 Benefits of Practicing Gratitude (Incl. Journaling)
CULTIVATING GRATITUDE
Psychology research has shown that gratitude is directly connected to increased happiness. It improves health and increases an individual’s ability to feel positive emotions. There are a lot of ways you can create a gratitude practice.
Daily Gratitude Practice
- List THREE things you are grateful for.
- List the following THREE things daily: One thing you are grateful for, one thing that makes you happy, and Your favorite quote for the day. You may choose to elaborate on your answers.
- You may choose to create a Gratitude Journal to document your thoughts. A simple or elaborately decorated journal will do. I have had my clients make their own journals from scratch, binding scrap paper and cardstock together themselves. Others choose to use a basic spiral notebook.
- Create a Gratitude Jar/Box. Decorate your jar box to make it happy and bright. Keep small post it notes nearby or even better… use scrap paper! Every day write down one thing you are grateful for and put it in the box or jar. On days when you need a little emotional boost, read the entries in the jar.
- Take a Gratitude Walk. Taking a Gratitude Walk is also a practice in Mindfulness.
- All it requires is your feet and a focused awareness of your surroundings. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. It does get easier. Focus your awareness on the smells, the colors, the trees, the flowers… the sounds around you.
- Write a Thank-You Note. Once a month write a letter to another person expressing how much you appreciate them. Tell them how they have positively impacted your life. If you are able, handwrite your letter and send it to them. Occasionally write a letter to yourself.

Did you miss our September blog post on scapular pain?
Scapular Pain: Common Misconceptions
In this post, we’ll unpack some of the most common misconceptions about scapular pain so you can better understand what’s really going on and how to find lasting relief.
Misconception #1: It’s Always a Muscle Knot
The truth: Not all scapular pain is caused by muscle tension or “knots.”
While tight muscles (like the rhomboids, trapezius, or levator scapulae) can certainly create discomfort, scapular pain can also stem from nerve irritation, poor posture, referred pain from the spine, or even internal organ issues.
If you’ve been chasing the same knot with massage guns or foam rollers without real relief, it might be time to consider other sources.

Cancellation Policy
We understand that unanticipated events happen in everyone’s life. In our desire to be effective and fair to all patients, we maintain a clear policy for cancellations, no-shows, and late arrivals:
Cancellations
48-hour advance notice is required when canceling an appointment. This allows the opportunity for someone else to schedule an appointment. If you are unable to provide 48 hours advance notice, you will be charged for the full amount of that appointment. This amount must be paid prior to your next scheduled appointment. (This policy is clearly posted on all email communications from the clinic, is in the documentation you signed upon becoming a patient and is posted at the front desk.)
No-Shows
Anyone who either forgets or consciously chooses to forgo their appointment for whatever reason will be considered a “no-show” and will be charged for that appointment.
Late Arrivals
If you arrive late, your session may need to be shortened in order to accommodate others whose appointments follow yours. Depending upon how late you arrive, your therapist will then determine if there is enough time remaining to start a treatment. Regardless of the length of the treatment actually given, you will be responsible for cost of the full session. Out of respect and consideration for your therapist, other patients, and especially yourself (you deserve this time!) please plan accordingly and be on time. We suggest you arrive 15 minutes early to your appointment to ensure that you have time to check in.
Sickness
In this case, sharing is NOT caring! If you are sick or contagious, please reschedule your appointment for another time. For the wellness of all of our patients, we must decline treatment to anyone who arrives to a session sick. Arriving to a session sick will be treated as a no-show (see above). This is a zero-tolerance policy to protect our staff and our most vulnerable patients.
If you have questions about this policy or have a special circumstance, please contact our office.
