Barnes Extends Rolfing Benefits to Children L
aura Barnes, a certified advanced Rolfer and member of the Rolf Institute, is offering free initial Rolfing sessions to youngsters through August at her office in Naples, in addition to the free initial consultation and sample sessions she offers year-round for people of all ages. Barnes says that Rolfing therapy, designed to release restrictions, improve posture and ease pain through the manipulation of the body’s myofascial system, can benefit children, as well as adults.
“Clients of all ages have reported some degree of pain relief and improved range of motion in their first session,” she says, adding that her personal and professional experience with scoliosis allows her to give young clients with similar challenges some relief from discomfort and information about other available resources.
According to Barnes, Rolfing is a suitable treatment for other conditions, including sciatica; back, neck, and shoulder pain; stress and tension; headaches; carpal tunnel syndrome; and temporomandibular joint disorder.
Location: 851 Fifth Ave. N., Ste. 301. For more info or to make an appointment, call 239-825-8555. See ad, page 37.
Events Aid Happehatchee Center, Japanese Citizens
P
eople of all ages can experience yoga and meditate in a serene, natural setting while supporting two worthy causes during separate sessions led by three area experts on July 9, at the Happehatchee Center, in Estero.
Happehatchee teacher Bobbie Lee Gruninger will host a
90-minute yoga flow class, starting at 9 a.m., followed by a guided meditation led by Samantha Banks, spiritual guide and owner of Shamans Blessings, a metaphysical store and healing center in Bonita Springs. At 11:30 a.m., a kids’ yoga class for ages 4 and up will be led by another Happehatchee instructor, Salima Silverman.
Proceeds from the two sessions will go toward the expan- sion of the Happehatchee facility and to Golden Pyramid Peace, a global organization that provides food, shelter and clothing to those in need and is currently focused on Japan, in response to that nation’s recent earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis. “We are offering these classes to do something good, not only in our own community, but elsewhere,” says Gruninger. “We are looking to make a difference. It’s all about people helping people.”
Fees for either session: Love donations. Location: 8791 Cork- screw Rd. For more information, call event organizer Gruninger at 239-777-0186 or visit
