Pool / Hot Tub at the NVHS
Massage Therapy at Napa Valley Health Spa on August 10, 2018,








While traveling for my sister's wedding, I checked out the local spas/ health clubs in the area when I visit--to learn some tricks of the trade and/make sure the wear and tear of travel are balanced with a massage or a

soak in a hot tub. I was slightly lost getting there and rushed in 5 minutes before my appointment. My frantic attitude dissolved as soon as arrived it is charming and calm

atmosphere. I am particularly picky about massages and this was wonderful and professional. The therapist used a range of motion, heat therapy, hot towels, aromatherapy, and a variety of trigger point (knot) reducing techniques.
FYIs- A spa treatment automatically gives you a day pass for the entire facility. (If you just want to use the gym and pool a day pass for a weekday
is $35 and
for a weekend is $55.)- You receive amenities, robe, and slippers as soon
as you arrive, arrive early to enjoy it!

iPhone/cameras are not allowed inside the facilities.

Pros:-Beautiful rooms-Eucalyptus steam room-Fruit infused water and herbal teas-Spotless gym-Locker room with an amenities-All day pass to cloak yourself in a robe and relax poolside.
Cons:-The only downside was I didn’t stay long enough! Try to plan your day so that you can visit all the space has to offer! Overall I give it 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I anticipate my return! #isntthatspacial

Opinion Piece: The Unsettling Truth: Racism and Addiction are Epidemics that Need Community Solutions.

Urban Milwaukee ran this as an Op-ed on October 17th, 2020. Link here.   By Maria Teresa Noth Milwaukee, the black community, the police, addiction, first responders, and medics all collided on my first day back at work at a hospital this summer.  I have been reflecting a lot on that rainy Tuesday evening. Our department for Integrative Medicine was initially closed for a few months anticipating the pandemic.  George Floyd was brutally murdered by police just a couple of weeks earlier and civil unrest had begun before similar situations in Kenosha and Wauwatosa boiled over. The unrest in the community was palpable. I have lived in Milwaukee most of my life but now the overwhelming wave of fear of having one of my high-risk family members contract COVID-19 was superseded by a wave of white guilt after yet another video of police brutally.  That June this disease was little understood and scary but after several months without pay, I saw little option other than gettin...

Gloss

Gloss on Water is another new gem in the Milwaukee Spa/ Nail Salon scene. Nestled right into the Brewer's Hill neighborhood across the way from where I have called home for the last 6 years. This area is certainly conveniently located.  Highly recommended services: manicure and pedicure and waxing services. With this place in the area, they are always accommodating to fit me in for a Gel, Mani, Pedi, or a waxing. I did try some waxing here-- ouch-- but that has more to do with my pain tolerance than the practitioner's skills! Although the esthetician was talented and professional I think I will try laser hair removal so as not to ever have to deal with that again! Try to get in on a slow day or you will have trouble getting through! Four Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐
