AIM – ALUMNI – COMMUNITY We love our alumni at AIM and the work they do in their communities. We have decided to showcase our alumni and some of the great work they do in collaboration with other health providers or on their own. Watch for updates and see what our alumni, and your favorite LMT’s, are up too near you! BRA TO SPA Event! In collaboration with The Elizabeth Institute, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Glow, and two AIM alumni, Jennifer Vaughn, LMT, CLT and Juli Bossert, LMT, CLT, the third annual BRA (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) to Spa event was a great success this year! Complimentary spa treatments were provided for 45 women with a history of breast cancer. Approximately 50% of the attendees were past patients of Dr. Margo Herron, Plastic Surgeon, and the other 50% were women of all ages with prior or current diagnosis breast cancer. With the statistic showing breast cancer directly affects 1 in 8 women, events like this are important and positive. Jenn and Juli have both furthered their licensed massage therapy careers specializing in Manual Lymph Drainage and Oncology Massage, making this community event perfect for their specializations.

In world that is constantly moving and changing it is important to be able to help yourself stay calm, become energized, sleep at night, and stay healthy. Massage therapy is one of the many ways to help accomplish these needs, but there is another way to help in-between as well. Controlled breathing has many benefits from calming the nervous system, reducing stress, boosting the immune system, and giving you energy. In the article “Breathe. Exhale. Repeat. The Benefits of Controlled Breathing” by Lesley Alderman, the vast benefits of controlled breathing are discussed. Alderman discusses everything from Buddha’s advocacy in breath mediation to current scientific studies. Alderman even gives exact instructions to maximize the desired effect of the way to breath, such as lying down for Coherent Breathing, sitting for Stress Relief, and standing for Energizing HA Breath. The breathing techniques are simple and effective. Improve your health today by reading the Alderman article. Reap the many rewards and share them with your family, friends, and clients.
