Nourishing Life

“Nourishing Life” is more than just a tagline to us.

At the root of modalities like massage, acupuncture and herbal medicine is a very important assumption – what you do with your days matters.  While we are always happy to see you at Watershed, your periodic treatments are only one hour out of many.  When you go home, we don’t follow you around – cooking wonderful food for you, making sure you sit up straight, talking to you about your various habits.  (Too time consuming, and probably a bit overboard!)  It’s you and your choices at front and center.

Nourishing life means that we make choices that build and fortify us

It means making choices that ready us for daily success without sacrificing our long-term vitality.  This extends into the things we eat and drink, the ways we move our bodies, our choices about media consumption and leisure activities, the arrangement of our personal environments at home and work, and so on.

It’s not about focusing on how BAD we are, and how we “shouldn’t do this” or “shouldn’t do that.”  It’s about being aware of how the choices we make impact how we feel, and moving towards those things that consistently and durably improve our experience of our lives. At Watershed, we don’t believe that one size fits all, not in dietary choices, not in exercise, mostly not in anything. We will work with you to consistently make choices that are supportive of the life you want to live, not hand you a list of dictates that you must follow in order to work with us.
