Hello beautiful,
As we step into a new year, I’ve been sitting with something that feels important to share.
I don’t believe January is meant for forcing big changes or launching brand-new routines at full speed. While I deeply believe in setting intentions, reflecting on goals, and making plans, I don’t believe January 1st is the moment we’re meant to execute them.
In nature, January is a time of rest. The earth is quiet. Seeds are underground. Roots are strengthening. Everything is hibernating and conserving energy. To expect ourselves to move in the opposite direction—to hustle, overhaul our lives, and “start fresh” right away—often puts us out of rhythm with the natural world and, ultimately, with ourselves.
When we push against that rhythm, it can feel like an uphill battle… or like we’re failing before we even begin.
Instead, I believe winter is a sacred pause. A time to soften. To listen. To realign. And to gently prepare so that when spring arrives, momentum feels natural rather than forced.
This philosophy is at the heart of how we approach care at Encore—treating the whole human: mind, body, and soul.
Which is why I’m so excited to share something special with you.
Limited Time Special
Energy Work at Encore
This February, I’ve invited Lori Golling to offer a limited number of private energy healing sessions, exclusively reserved for Encore clients. She will be joining us every Sunday in February for this very special offering.
This work aligns beautifully with our belief that true wellness—and true skin health—comes from supporting the nervous system, emotional body, and energetic self alongside the physical.
About Lori Golling
Lori is an energy healing practitioner with over 18 years of experience supporting deep nervous system regulation, emotional release, and mind-body alignment. She is trained in multiple healing modalities, including cranial sacral therapy, and blends intuitive energy work with grounded, body-based techniques to create a calm, restorative experience.
Her sessions are gentle yet powerful, working beneath the surface to release stored tension, stress, and energetic blocks that the body has been holding—often without conscious awareness.
Clients frequently describe feeling lighter, clearer, deeply relaxed, and more connected to themselves after a session. Her work is especially supportive for those who carry a lot—mentally, emotionally, or energetically—and are ready for restoration that goes beyond surface-level relaxation.
What to Expect From a Session
Imagine releasing years of tension and stress in just 60 minutes.
True, sustainable release can only happen when the body feels safe. No amount of effort or intention can override a nervous system that’s on guard. These 60-minute sessions are designed with that understanding at their core—prioritizing safety so the body can naturally soften and let go.
Rather than following a rigid method, this work meets the body exactly where it is. Through intuitive awareness and the integration of multiple modalities—including cranial sacral influence and refined energy work—the session responds moment by moment to what your system needs.
As stored stress and subtle imbalances unwind, something essential is restored. Breath deepens. Space returns to the body. And your system begins to remember its natural rhythm and wisdom.
This work goes beyond relaxation. It supports the body in regulating, restoring, and realigning itself from the inside out—creating a sense of inner stability and coherence that can ripple into every area of life.
Clients often describe the experience as quietly powerful, deeply nurturing, and unlike any other form of bodywork or energy work they’ve received.
A Personal Note
I’ve personally had several sessions with Lori, and each time I emerge feeling lighter—as if a true weight has been lifted from my chest. I’m so honored to have her join us at Encore and truly can’t wait for you to experience her gift if it feels aligned for you.
Special Client Offering
This 60-minute session is typically offered at $250.
As a valued Encore client, you’re invited to book at a preferred rate of $150.
Availability is limited to just a few appointments each Sunday in February.
If you feel the nudge, I encourage you to trust it. This experience may be exactly what your body is ready for.
A Gentle Reminder
If you don’t already have your next facial on the books, this is a beautiful time to schedule one. Winter is the season for restoring the skin barrier, calming the nervous system, and renewing from the inside out.
Whether you’re coming in for deep nourishment, relaxation, or seasonal skin support, we’d love to care for you and help you stay in rhythm during this quieter time of year.
Thank you for being part of this community and for allowing Encore to be a place where you can slow down, soften, and receive.
With much love and intention,
Heather West
