But seriously, what does your name mean? Does it stand for something? What does it represent?
No matter what branding I have selected over the years, it has been a careful selection. Consideration about what these words and meanings will not only say about me but provide a good idea of what it is I plan to offer to you.
The final selections always come down to a perfect fit.
Previously: H.E.A.R.T. MassAge Gallery
Desire to bring Healing through Touch! HEALING. ENERGIZING. AROMATIC. RELAXING. TOUCH. H.E.A.R.T. MassAge
The heart is the locus of feeling and intuitions, it is essential to vital experience! To gather in Mass is to join together a body, Mass is also without definite shape (can be remolded or reshaped), it is also forming separate units into one whole! Age is the time to do it!
Seemed to sum things up pretty good at the time. Also shows early inspiration and lots more time to reflect. Really connecting it all together.
NOW: N.E.W. Center - Natural Elements Wellness Center
It certainly is new! And we love it here. There is more to this center just being new though. It is the next phase in the bigger vision that began with the start of my career, and the journey of my education. I just did not realize until this year, how very closely these things could be connected. Natural Elements is something I have wanted to incorporate into the business model for several years now, and speaking of did you know that the blood in your body is also a natural element, made up of components themselves referred to as elements.
As several of you may have heard by now, I am intending to incorporate the lab into my services. Science has been a love of mine for over a decade now and while I have accepted the idea it is a game changer for me in providing quality service as a professional body worker, it is thrilling to me to be able to treat the whole body for total wellness. Expansion and growth will likely always be on the table.
There is just no simpler way to break down just what each part of the NEW name represent than to provide the relating definitions.

Loving how, like bodywork, everything in each separate word ties together to the next and the last to form an overall meaning or impact.
To try to sum all of that up: I will provide the most natural aspects I can to reach you and your most natural self to each component and fiber necessary to treat the whole being to the root of issues and sustain this life, and the place to do that, along with combining both of our focus to achieve your goals.
