title_line: A fun experience together and actually fell asleep because I was so relaxed!
---

The vibration therapy I had never done before. It was surprising how my balance changed depending on whether I was standing straight up or on one foot or squatting. Well, we drove a bit from Portland so it was actually a nice way to wake up my legs. The magnesium foot soak was deeply relaxing. The cinnamon steaming combined with red light therapy was surprisingly my favorite part. We don't usually enjoy saunas, but the warm cinnamon steam felt so soothing. The sound bowls were fun. I had never done those before and were louder than I expected. It was interesting to try and feel how each tone was kind of taken in by my brain and my body. The salt cave was really cool. A fun experience together and actually fell asleep because I was so relaxed! The taste testing of the treats was fun and a really nice touch at the end. I loved the pomegranate drink a lot. That was my favorite and the vinegar.
