Kristina Nousianen, LMT, a new massage therapist at ReWeaving Balance, is accepting new clients and will lead a Gentle Plants Workshop on chamomile from noon to 2 p.m., April 27. Gentle enough for children, yet potent enough to ease the tensions associated with adulthood, the group will discuss the herb’s usage, preparations, herbal actions, indications, cultivation and historical usage. There will be optional taste testing and aromatherapeutic application. Participants will receive handouts, tea and a potted organic chamomile to grow this spring.

 

Nousianenhas been studying herbalism since 2006, but in 2012 she began to take plants more seriously in response to declining health and took an herbal immersion course in 2016 with Lancaster Farmacy. She is currently enrolled in the Vitalist Herbal Practitioner program with the School of Evolutionary Herbalism.

 

Nousianenhas provides Swedish, hot stone and Ayurvedic massage, including add-on options of aromatherapy, herb-infused massage oils and herbal poultices.

 

Cost is $25 for the workshop. Location: 5A Harrisburg Pike, Dillsburg. For more information, call 717-943-4833, email [email protected] or visit ReWeavingBalance.earth.
