Enjoy September in New England
Wishing You Magic & Connection This Season!
September in New England is a breathtaking tapestry woven with crisp air, golden sunlight, and the first whispers of autumn’s brilliance. The days are bathed in a gentle warmth, while evenings carry a cool hint of change, inviting cozy gatherings and reflective strolls. The landscapes burst into vibrant hues—fiery reds, deep oranges, and brilliant yellows—painting forests and winding country roads with nature’s most inspiring palette. This month holds an energy that feels both invigorating and serene, where every breeze carries the promise of new beginnings wrapped in the comfort of familiar traditions.
Festivals bloom across towns, celebrating harvests with orchards heavy with apples ripe for picking and pumpkin patches glowing under the soft September sun. Farmers’ markets brim with the season’s bounty, reflecting the rich connection between land and community. Outdoor adventures beckon—hiking through scenic trails, cycling along peaceful byways, or simply savoring the gentle rhythm of a canoe gliding across a quiet lake. September in New England is not just a month; it’s an experience—a reminder to breathe deeply, cherish the present, and find joy in the simple, profound beauty that this magical time of year offers.
Let's Get Electromagnetic
What is PEMF?
“PEMF” is Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. PEMF is a magnetic field that acts on the electrically charged particles in our body. The waveform, intensity and frequency of the treatment is low level, very specific, and in alignment with what is normally found in our body and in nature. PEMF in a way re-ignites that charge to help bring it to balance and in a way transfers that energy to our body. PEMF increases the microcirculation of the body, helps our bodies in cellular repair processes, and supports the natural detoxification processes. Research has shown that PEMF increases oxygenation and perfusion of tissues.
Studies support the use of PEMF for the following benefits:
Reduction in Pain
Accelerate Healing
Muscle Recovery from Exercise and Injury
Reduce Fatigue
Improve Sleep
Reduce Inflammation
Improve cardiovascular and neurologic function
Helps increase blood flow when exercise isn’t a good option
Fast recover for training athletes
