Read more on page 12, and then do yourself a favor and reach out to one of our many lovely local practitioners who specialize in all things bodywork. Check the Community Resource Guide in the back of this magazine or at NaturalTucson.com.

Chances are, you’re sitting down reading this right now.

Wishing you a sweet October!
