I offer an avenue for those of you who are interested in exploring and being curious about the healing potential that is locked inside your body. Through therapeutic bodywork, movement exercises and somatic education, my aim is to help you make a connection to a deeper part of yourself that wants to live more consciously in health.

Taking the necessary steps to honestly care for yourself can be one of the most important things that you do in your life. Participating in the process of managing your own health- care and not waiting until you are sick or hurt is empower- ing and cultivates an ability to become more sensitive to your own needs. You become stronger, more vital and less prone to illness.

Here at Rolf Bodyworks, you can set up a schedule that works with your life, your finances and what your body needs. I offer Rolf Structural Integration, Traditional Thai and Swedish massage and Therapeutic Bodywork. I am located on a quiet, country road in the northern end of Sterling, CT just off Route 6 about 35 minutes from Providence and Worcester. Call for an appointment today. It’s worth the trip.

Meryl E. Willett photos

THOMPSON — On Friday, Nov. 16, at the Raceway Restaurant in Thompson, the Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce hosted Tastefully New England, a moveable feast that featured 15 Windham County restaurants and well-known cater- ers. With each restaurant and caterer having their own booth, the Speedway Restaurant was filled with overpowering smells of deli- cious food, which flooded into the parking lot. Winding through the dining hall and into the bar, where guests could venture into a heated tent, restaurants were serving up soups, sushi, salad, sandwiches, and desserts as they made their way through the restaurant. More than 400 people were in attendance that night, with a photogra- pher on hand taking pictures of groups, and music provided by Relative Sound. While Tastefully New England serves as a fundraiser for the Chamber of Commerce, it also provides a way to bring more atten- tion to the talented chefs located right here in the Quiet Corner.
