Bellingham Massage Clinic

In the last few months there has been a lot of attention given to what a terrible effect sitting can have on your health. In fact, there were claims that it’s as bad for your health as smoking. Certainly, it makes sense that sitting for long periods without a break could be a problem. However, […]

It’s that time of year again. My favorite time of year – farm tour season. This coming Saturday is the Whatcom County Farm Tour. It runs from 10-5pm and is self-guided. The farm tour allows you  to get a closer look at some of our local farms that serve our county and beyond. Check out […]

Summer in the Pacific Northwest brings many things, less rain for one. It also brings more sun and sunburns, more outdoor activities and everything with which that comes.

There are a couple oils that are safe to apply to an adults skin neat(without dilution). Lavender and Roman Chamomile are the main two oils, though depending on the person […]

As of January 2014, Regence physical medicine providers must get preauthorization through a third party company, Care Core National, in order to treat a Regence patient.
