We are excited to offer the Raindrop Technique®,
as a new service at the healthy.BEing family wellness office!

Raindrop Technique® blends the art of aromatherapy with the techniques of Vita Flex and soft tissue therapy, by a process of layering different Young Living therapeutic grade essential oils to the feet and spine. This therapeutic protocol has been known to increase the immune system function and to create balance and harmony in the body – physically, mentally, and emotionally. In addition, it is a very effective in detoxification and can assist your body in eliminating toxins, symptoms related to stress & health issues and relax muscular tension in the back, because the therapeutic healing process begins on a cellular level.

This holistic modality utilizes 9 different Young Living essential oils, both single and blends, used for this protocol and include:

• Valor Essential Oil Blend
• Thyme Essential Oil
• Basil Essential Oil
• Wintergreen Essential Oil
• Marjoram Essential Oil
• Cypress Essential Oil
• Peppermint Essential Oil
• AromaSiez Essential Oil Blend
• Oregano Essential Oil
• Ortho Ease Essential Oil Massage Blend

What to expect during a therapeutic session? 

Raindrop Technique® combines different healing modalities to create a synergistic effect on the body:

• Aromatherapy – where the essential oils are applied undiluted (NEAT) to the body
• Vita Flex Technique – where slight pressure is applied to reflexology points on the feet
• Feather Stroking – similar to effleurage in massage therapy, which are long, sweeping strokes on the body to simulate a feather touching

Raindrop Technique® is a gentle, holistic modality that offers you the opportunity to relax and can be coupled with your regular chiropractic care and/or a reiki session to enhance your overall health and wellness. A therapeutic session lasts 1 hour, plus any additional time for your adjustment and/or reiki.

What to expect after a therapeutic session?

Most often you will feel relaxed, energized, and with a heightened awareness. Yet as the Raindrop Technique encourages detoxification, you may experience sinus drainage, headache, or an emotional release. All of the effect depend on the individual basis and are affected by multiple factors. SO you should always consult with the doctor beforehand. You are also very encouraged to drink plenty of water before and after your session.

Special Offer

Dr. Tijana is currently offering your Introductory session at $49.00, with following sessions at $80.00 (39% savings). Each session fee includes the $30.00 expense for the essential oils. Call our office at 706.254.4579 to schedule your appointment!

Recipe: Breakfast Cookies

To get you ready for the weekend and prepare a treat for next week, I am sharing this delicious Breakfast Cookie recipe as a guest blog post from Dr. Robin’s Corner! Enjoy!

Sometimes, the trickiest part of changing our diet is figuring out EASY recipes that fulfill the new way of eating.  This is certainly tricky at breakfast, when most of us are used to a bowl of cereal, some toast, maybe pancakes, french toast, or waffles…all those foods are FILLED with gluten and sugar!

Enter the breakfast cookie to save the morning!

These take 5 minutes to mix up, and 12 minutes to bake. On a Sunday afternoon, my kitchen is always full of new ingredients I want to add in to the basic recipe.  They taste like banana bread meets a granola bar (if you add that stuff), and are truly filling!

This recipe makes 8-12 cookies (depending on your scoop) and has NO added sugar, NO grain, and NO dairy. The cookies will be soft after baking, and should be stored in the fridge for the week (if they last that long).

Enjoy!

“Paleo” Breakfast Cookies:
2 bananas (ripe, peeled, broken into pieces)
3 Medjool dates (pitted, halved)
1 egg
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch salt

Add-ins: 1/2 cup nut of your choice (walnuts, almonds, and cashews are all wonderful), 1/2 cup raisins (or other dried fruit), 1/4 cup naturally sweetened chocolate chips, 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut.

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor, and blend up! Add in 2-3 of the “add-in”s and stir well. Plop big spoonfuls onto your baking sheet (I get 8 good cookies from this recipe), and bake for 12-15 minutes.  They will be soft, so use a toothpick in the center to make sure they are cooked.  Allow to cool, and enjoy!

I eat mine slathered with peanut butter (or another nut butter), and I stay full until lunchtime.  Also wonderful as dessert! No one will know they are full of protein, healthy fats, and fiber.

Thank you to Dr. Robin for sharing this yummy treat!

Recipe: Raw Chocolate Pudding

Tags

This raw chocolate pudding became my instant favorite the second I tried it! And it is just as quick as making an instant pudding from the box, except much more yummy! It is no secret that I have a sweet tooth since the day I was born, more or less. In the effort to eat healthy, I try to find different ways of still eating something delicious without sacrificing the sweetness! This pudding is a prime example of that!

 

This is the basic recipe for the raw chocolate pudding, which can also be easily made vegan, and you can add spices and garnishes to fit your mood and liking. It is very simple and easy! I even tested it on my boyfriend without telling him what was in it and he was none the wiser! 😉 So make it for the family and I promise the kids will love it just as much!

 
Raw Chocolate Pudding:

1 avocado, ripe and cleaned
1 banana, peeled
3-4 tablespoons of cacoa /cocoa powder

2 tablespoons of Grade B pure maple syrup or another sweetener

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Spices to preference (cinnamon, orange zest/juice, cayenne pepper, etc.)

1/2 cup of water (or a nut milk) or more for desired consistency

Fruit and nuts for garnish

 

Blend all ingredients in blender until creamy.Make sure to scrape everything from the sides to incorporate fully. Add more water/milk as needed for desired consistency. Taste for sweetness and flavor and make adjustments accordingly. Chill it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving and garnish with fruit and nuts of choice. It can be eaten at room temperature. If there are any leftovers, keep it in the fridge for a couple of days, but I doubt you will have to! 😉

Recipe: Vanilla Chia Pudding

Chia Seeds are one of the newer super-foods on every healthy person’s lips! And the reason for it is that they are high in protein, fiber (42% of DV in 1 oz) and Omega-3 fatty acids (13% of DV in 1 oz). They can easily be added to smoothies, homemade granola, sprinkled over hot or cold cereal, baked into crackers, and added to salads.

So what better what to consume these wonderful super-seeds than in a simple and easy dessert, and it’s great for children and adults alike!

Vanilla Chia Pudding:
1/2 cup of whole raw chia seeds
2 1/4 cups of coconut cream / coconut milk / almond milk / any other variety of milk you enjoy
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
a pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of honey / Grade B Pure Maple Syrup
Spices for additional flavor (cinnamon / cacao / lemon zest)
Fruit and nuts for garnish

In a small bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, milk of choice, vanilla, salt, and spices; stir and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. After the first 30 minutes, stir it again to make sure there are no clumps. Once you’re ready to eat, stir in the honey and top with your favorite fruit and nuts.
Although, you can eat it even after an hour, it is even better if you let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.
