Kathy Murray is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Integrative Health Coach. Somatic Experiencing is a holistic approach to healing the effects of unresolved traumatic events and life stressors. It is useful for resolving trauma symptoms, expanding mind/body awareness, easing chronic pain, reducing stress and anxiety and developing a deeper connection with self and others. HeartMath and Transforming Touch are other protocols for developing resilience and regulation within the nervous system. Price for Series - $20 Price for individual sesseions - $10 Location – on Zoom To register email Kathy Murray: Email: [email protected] Phone: 919-423-6776 Website: https://www.kathymurraylcsw.com/  Scott Ashwell, LMBT My name is Scott Ashwell, and I’m a student of Polarity Therapy — a gentle, energy-based bodywork practice that supports nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and emotional well-being. I’m currently completing my certification as a Registered Polarity Practitioner at Tree of Life Center in Efland.
As part of my training, I’m offering a limited number of free sessions — either as a 3- or 10-session arc (75–90 minutes each) — in exchange for honest feedback using a provided questionnaire. Donations are accepted, but not required. This helps me fulfill my practicum requirements while offering supportive, holistic care to those curious about somatic and energy-based work. I’m reaching out to ask if you or anyone on your team might be open to receiving this work — or if you’d be willing to share the opportunity with your community, friends, or clients. I moved to this area from Asheville after the hurricane last October and am eager to build meaningful relationships locally. I’d love to be a resource for the community. I will be offering sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays at Health Touch NC located at: 3500 Westgate Drive, Suite 504, Durham, NC 27707. I can also offer sessions at my healing space south of Efland on 11 acres of restorative natural land if that is preferable. Please email or text if you’d like to schedule a brief intro call and book a session. If you visit my website (astropolarity.net), you’ll find more information about Polarity Therapy and its benefits. You’ll also see that I offer astrology consultations — but this free offering is specifically for Polarity Therapy sessions only. Thanks so much for considering, and I hope to connect soon. Warmly, Scott Ashwell (917) 687-6707 [email protected] https://astropolarity.net
 I am very excited to begin teaching a movement class again! I hope to facilitate a community of like-minded individuals interested in movement, learning, and self-improvement. This class will be influenced by mindful movement and fitness practices including yoga and the Feldenkrais Method of somatic education. Each class does not require prior attendance, although continued participation will likely contribute to improvements in physical ability and kinesthetic understanding of the content. With the type of learning approach used, it is beneficial to attend for the whole series, as the classes may gradually become more challenging. The class will encourage self-compassion and the ability to appropriately listen and respond to one’s body without strain. It will also facilitate improvements in fitness skills including strength, balance, suppleness, and general ease of mobility Some themes I'm hoping to explore-
WHEN: Every other Thursday at 5:00pm starting January 9, 2025 for a total of 8 classes-
WHERE: The Wellness Station clinic (where Jacob sees his clients) at 3500 Westgate Dr #504 LEVEL: All fitness levels are encouraged, but the ability to get up and down from the floor is recommended, even if requiring a chair or wall to assist. The ability to lie prone (on one’s belly) is recommended, but we may work up a tolerance level to this position by using props. It is also recommended to be able to kneel with the use of a kneeling pad beneath the knees. WHAT TO BRING: A yoga mat, any props you enjoy using, and a beginner’s mind 🙂 REGISTRATION OPTIONS: *Attend all 8 classes for $150- Sign up here *Attend the first 4 classes for $80- Sign up here
This class will be available to eight participants each time, and requires prior registration.

🔮📜🍶
What to Bring:
☕🧋🍵 * Teas for the Voice: If drinking tea, try a non-astringent herbal tea like ginger, anise, chamomile, or licorice. Green and black teas have tannins which can dry out your throat. Mint also dries out the throat, and lemon is acidic and astringent. Coffee is highly acidic and dehydrating, so if you need the caffeine I'd recommend black tea over coffee, even with the tannins! When in doubt - add honey! Honey is lubricating, hydrating, immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and is also an antiseptic! It really is liquid gold. 🍯✨ (Thank you, bees!) 🪑 🪴 🕯️ 📿 * Creating Your Sanctuary: If you have time before class, you can make your space super cozy ~ get pillows, put on comfy clothes, light a candle, create an altar, make a cup of herbal tea ~ get your magical mojo flowing! You'll also have 5 minutes to do this at the beginning of class while people are signing in, but that time tends to go by fast. See you soon, 🔮✨✨ JUSTINE LUCAS Somatic Singing Practitioner somaticsinging.org Singer-Songwriter www.justinelucas.com Find my music on Spotify, iTunes, & Pandora
