By JACCI GRUNINGER, MS, C-IAYT
Los Alamos
Last week I shared with you about Inner Relationship Focusing or Focus Coaching. Focusing can be beneficial for almost any situation you are going through in your life or something that has happened in your past. It can be used to work through something or to explore issues or concerns you can’t seem to resolve.

By LAURA LEONARD
Doctor of Chiropractic
Los Alamos
The first flakes of the season are falling and visible snow caps on the mountains mean it’s time to start training for the ski season ahead. Whether you’ve been mountain biking, cycling, hiking or running all summer or overloaded at work and ready to get back at it, paying attention to your knees is critical to prevent an early exit from the ski season.

Los Alamos
Focus Coaching (Inner Relationship Focusing/IRF) is a gentle therapeutic practice that allows you to connect to your body’s wisdom with non-judgemental awareness. It involves going inside to explore and inquire for answers that you may not find by thinking alone.
IRF emphasizes being in relationship with all parts of yourself, even the parts that feel uncomfortable, unacceptable, overwhelming, in conflict or disliked. These parts are often hidden or buried, which inhibits our ability to move forward in our lives.
When you work with a Focus Coach, you Read More

Going back to normal after giving birth (by c section or natural birth) can be both hard and intimidating. If you do the correct pelvic floor exercises Read More
