Let’s be honest, with a high-energy two-year old in tow, and another on the way, I hardly have any ME time.\u00a0 And I don’t even mean alone time.\u00a0 I mean, I’m lucky if I am able to shower every morning and get out of the house without any food stains on my clothes.\u00a0It’s no surprise I can’t remember the last time I really pampered myself and got a facial<\/a>.\u00a0 As a mom, my body, and\u00a0my face, have changed dramatically from my pre-mommy days.\u00a0\u00a0So, I\u00a0jumped at the opportunity\u00a0for an acupressure facial\u00a0at Urban Foot\u00a0& Wellness Clinic <\/a>conveniently located on Yonge\u00a0& Clark,\u00a0just north of Steeles\u00a0(in Thornhill).\u00a0 I\u00a0voluntold my parents that they need to babysit Kyle while I enjoyed some mom-ME time.<\/p>\n When I met Margaret Lee<\/a>, the\u00a0Acupuncture\u00a0and Holistic Nutritionist, I was immediately met with a warm, friendly smile.\u00a0 She began to explain to me the various services she provides including Acupuncture, Holistic Nutrition advice, Acupressure and Cosmetic Acupuncture<\/a>.\u00a0 She follows the teaching and methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine<\/a>. Margaret explained to me the\u00a0various benefits of acupuncture and acupressure.\u00a0 Some of the less obvious ones are\u00a0to increase fertility, digestion, PMS cramps\u00a0and treat insomnia and headaches.\u00a0<\/a>Since I knew very little about acupuncture (and I’m not going to lie, a little afraid of it), Margaret inserted one of the needles in my arms so I can see what it felt like.\u00a0 I\u00a0was immediately relieved to find out that\u00a0you can’t even feel it, but I couldn’t wait to start my facial acupressure. To learn more about acupressure, check out Margaret’s blog for more details on the technique and benefits: http:\/\/www.nutriacure.com\/2009\/01\/30\/what-is-acupressure\/<\/a><\/p>\n Just like a facial, she started with a cleanse, and then applied a mask.\u00a0 And then, for the next half an hour, I was treated to an amazing facial massage.\u00a0 Applying gentle pressure from her fingertips, Margaret massaged specific points on my head, neck and shoulders.\u00a0 I think I even dozed\u00a0off for a little.\u00a0 It really was one of the best massages that I’ve ever received, and it was only on my head and face.\u00a0 Who knew!!\u00a0 To say the least, I didn’t want it to end.\u00a0 I felt more relaxed than I had in a long time.<\/a><\/p>\n Here is your chance to enjoy (or give that special person in your life a gift) an acupressure\u00a0facial treatment or any of the other amazing services offered at Urban Foot & Wellness Clinic.\u00a0 They are a multi-disciplinary wellness clinic that offers chiropractic, foot care, custom orthotics, massage and of course acupuncture and holistic nutrition.\u00a0\u00a0Most services are covered by your extended benefits.\u00a0 What better way to use them\u00a0up by the end of the year than by pampering yourself or taking care of your aching back, feet and neck!<\/p>\n _______________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n One lucky winner will win a $100 gift-certificate<\/strong> <\/span>to apply to their choice of service*.\u00a0 All you have to do to enter is one of the following (the more you do, the more entries you will receive).\u00a0 Please leave me a comment at the end of this post to let me know which of the following you have completed.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 1.
