Shopping for a mattress? Stop! What you need to know...
Mattresses
Most mattresses on the market are full of chemicals that can pollute your bedroom air and harm your body.

Healthiest Mattresses

  • No less than 95% certified organic content

  • No polyurethane foam

  • No added chemical flame retardants

  • Low-VOC certification

  • No added fragrances or antimicrobials

  • No PVC or vinyl

Don't buy mattresses that pollute your bedroom with toxic chemicals.

Most mattresses on the market are full of chemicals that can pollute your bedroom air and harm your body.

This includes polyurethane foam that can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), harmful chemicals that cause respiratory irritation or other health problems; flame retardant chemicals linked to cancer, hormone disruption and adverse effects on the immune system; and PVC or vinyl covers that can damage developing reproductive systems.
Of special concern - Cribs!

Unfortunately, most foam crib mattresses on the market emit large amounts of VOCs, have added toxic flame retardant chemicals, include a variety of fragrance chemicals, and use PVC or vinyl covers that contain phthalates–which can disrupt baby’s hormones and may be linked to asthma.

The best option is to buy an organic crib mattress free of harmful chemicals and materials. Look for the GOTS certification when choosing a product.

Shungite water... wow...
Shungite Water? What?
Shungite water benefits the human body by normalizing cellular metabolism and increasing enzyme activity. Fullerenes boost the regenerative ability of human tissue and influence the exchange of neurotransmitters, which can improve a person’s resistance to stress.

Fullerenes also have antihistamine and  anti-inflammatory properties , helping to relieve pain and suppress allergy symptoms. Shungite water science shows that fullerenes are effective even in very small doses and the benefits can last for months.

Other potential health applications:
  • Cardiovascular diseases
  • Kidney diseases
  • Liver diseases
  • Pancreatic diseases
  • Gastritis and dyspepsia
  • Gallbladder problems
  • Anemia
  • Asthma
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Arthritis
Because of its quality and purity, shungite water is an excellent addition to any detox program. Athletes and gym-goers can also drink shungite water after a workout to help revitalize fatigued muscles.

"How is your winter going, my friend? 

I hope you've gotten to play sometimes, skiing or skating, or sledding! So much of winter can be lovely.

But the cold and the dry air can affect our skin, joints, muscles, and mood in not-so-wonderful ways. That's when we need healing treatments to help us feel strong, radiant, and nourished.

And when self-care can take place in a beautiful studio... that's simply wonderful."
