Grand Rapids Natural Health and Healing

Puzzling is a great way to relax, decrease stress, and boost your mood. Puzzles can also be a great way of meeting other people in a low-key welcoming environment.
Our January event was a great time!
Join us for our second meeting of our Grand Rapids Puzzling League, called Some Assembly Required.

If you like jigsaw puzzles and would be interested in meeting other enthusiasts or you want to relax at the end of the week quietly puzzling alongside others, this group is for you.

To start, the group will involve 2 events each month at Giggles and Gourmets Play Cafe in Alger Heights. This event will be a social puzzling night. I will have a large puzzle folks can work on together or you can bring your own. Feel free to drop-in any time between 5-7 pm Friday, March 13th from 5-7 pm. There is a $5 cost to cover fees for using the space and advertising. We decided on the goal during our first event to complete an entire puzzle within our scheduled time... and we were successful! :)

Giggles and Gourmets is a play cafe, so bring your kids if you have them and they can play while you puzzle. There is normally a cost for kids to use the space, but we have a deal that kids can play for half off during puzzling hours!

Drop in anytime between 1:30pm and 3:30pm for NADA ear acupuncture. Relax and discover relief from stress, toxicity, and pain.

A series of 5 needles will be placed in each ear and you will sit quietly for 20 to 45 minutes.

NADA Auricular Acupuncture is for those experiencing high levels of stress, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, feelings of fear, grief, worry, and those seeking a better sense of well-being. Or if you are just curious about Acupuncture, this is a great way to try it out! Five sterile acupuncture needles will be placed in participants’ ears and retained for 20-45 minutes.

Benefits of NADA include increased calmness, better sleep, less agitation, relief from stress and emotional trauma, reduced cravings for alcohol and drugs including food cravings, minimized withdrawal symptoms, and a discovery of inner quiet and strength (acudetox.com).

The treatment is very gentle and people usually feel pleasantly sleepy and peaceful, providing a welcome relief from the stresses and strains that life can sometimes bring. A little bit of acupuncture goes a long way to interrupt the “fight or flight” mode using up your energy and can initiate a healthy “rest and relax” state that paves the way for deep physical and emotional healing.

Needles with be administered by Katie Hauge, LPC, counselor at The Holding Space and Amy Todd, ND naturopath at Roots to Wellness.

Cost: $20 (cash, check, credit or Venmo at time of service)
