Veritas Pilates
Location : Canaan
Pilates Training - Classes and Private Sessions
Pilates [puh-LA-teez] is a system of exercises designed to utilize the body efficiently to attain a higher level of overall wellness.

Particular emphasis is placed on training the muscles of the "Core" (abdominals, back muscles, buttocks, and inner thighs). Pilates is a full-body conditioning program that can be adapted to any age or fitness level. It is gentle enough for rehabilitation, yet challenging enough for the strongest of athletes. Regular Pilates practice helps form the foundation for sports-specific movement.

Trisha Waters RN - Rhythmical Einreibungen Treatments
Location: Chatham
Rhythmical Einreibungen is one of the three principal Anthroposophic Nursing treatments. It gently enlivens, warms and nurtures the whole human being through the conscious application of qualities of touch and therapeutic oils. Developed by Dr. Ita Wegman in the 1920's in the Arlesheim Klinik, an Anthroposophic medical clinic she founded in Arlesheim, Switzerland. Rhythmical Einreibungen addresses directly the etheric and physical bodies of the human being; bringing renewal of the etheric body's inherent well-spring of life forces and supporting it's enlivening of the physical body. The higher members of the individual also respond to this treatment, renewing their interest to work through the bodily organization in a harmonious way. Overall, the effect is to support both unconscious life processes and consciousness. It is recognized that the patient receives the gift of Rhythmical Einreibungen and inwardly works with it in a way unique to individual needs.
