Dear Guests-
Welcome to summer! Every year I set the intention to get to the beach with a big, floppy hat and good book. Whatever your summer pleasure - just remember to wear sunscreen!
The Toolbox Series continues - We're going to look at the intersection of cancer and trauma. What's the impact on the body, sleep, relationships? Join us as we explore this powerful subject.
We're pleased to announce that Ed Sullivan, our Qi Gong healer will be offering a special class on Wednesdays in June at 6pm. Ed will lead this class through breathing and other gentle exercises designed to get your energy flowing and promote a deep connection between mind and body.
Sign up today for classes!
Best,
Deborah Stambler
Program Director

Clinical Corner:
Are you wearing sunscreen?
It may not be the most talked about, but skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States.
One of the easiest ways to reduce your risk of developing skin cancer is sun protection, but there are some things you should know when choosing your sunscreen.
