TBT (Throw Back Thursday)

This was September last year when Con/Mom and I went for training to become AromaTouch certified.  I love this picture because she is smiling, and I miss my Mom's smile. I did receive a big hug today! Felt so good!

The AromaTouch Technique is an essential oil application to the back and feet. This technique combines the unique benefits of human touch with the power of essential oils to create an overall wellness experience, i.e., homeostasis. Each essential oil in the AromaTouch Technique was selected for its individual aromatic properties, and for their aromatic properties when combined. The overall scent of the AromaTouch Technique is soothing, light, and pleasant to the senses. 

The reason I share it is because I was visiting this morning and when I walked in Con/Mom informed me we were doing this to each other today like we did in training.  We set up her new massage table in her beautiful garden room and we got her as comfortable as possible, which was still on her side. That darn right arm!

I was able to modify the process a bit and she admitted after that she felt great! Whooohooo!  We ran out of time for mine, but we'll save that for a later day. We agreed that I will come back and do one on Dad and when she truly feels up to it she can do one on me.  :)

She had a busy day yesterday with therapy, hair appointment AT her salon, lunch with her long-time friend/hairdresser and then a doctor's appointment! The doc appt. was an ultrasound of the neck and throat...results next week.

Dad will get training tomorrow to use the nerve stimulator at home for her arm.  Con/Mom is also working on name recognition with photos.

So, we continue on our journey with open minds and hopeful hearts.
