A SPA FOR YOUR DNA: QUANTUM CLINIC

March 5, 2023

Quantum Clinic is a cutting-edge wellness center located in Elysian Valley. The clinic was founded by Dr. Maria Ramos and Dr. Katelyn Lehman, two psychologists with expertise in treating trauma, addiction, and stress. The Quantum Clinic offers a range of innovative treatments that are designed to promote deep cellular resonance and heart-brain coherence and to empower individuals to transform themselves from the inside out.

The mission of Quantum Clinic is to provide a place to unplug and tune in. “When you are empowered with the tools to reverse stress and connect to your inner wisdom, everything changes,” states Dr. Maria Ramos. “You become lighter. You show up differently for the task at hand. You deepen your compassion for yourself and others. You gain clarity on your purpose, and courage to fulfill your mission.” 

One of the clinic’s signature treatments is the Scalar Upgrade, which is designed to help individuals heal from trauma and toxic stress, harmonize and clear energetic blocks, and boost their energy levels. This treatment involves the use of scalar waves, which are non-electromagnetic waves that are believed to be capable of penetrating and influencing the body at a cellular level. This is the treatment I chose and it was divine. I look like I had been on a week vacation afterward. It’s one of those experiences you just need to DO.

Another popular treatment at the Quantum Clinic is Floatation REST, which involves floating in a sensory deprivation tank filled with warm saltwater. This treatment has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve performance, increase mental clarity and focus, relieve chronic pain, and promote alpha or theta brainwave shifts.

The Quantum Clinic also offers Frequency Therapy, which is designed to regulate the central nervous system, improve mental processing and flexibility, increase attention and concentration, and promote emotional processing. This treatment involves the use of sound and light frequencies that are believed to influence brainwave activity and promote deep relaxation.

Dr. Ramos and Dr. Lehman are both deeply committed to empowering individuals to take charge of their own healing and transformation. As co-founders of the Quantum Clinic, they have created a safe and supportive environment where individuals can unplug from the stresses of daily life and tune into their inner wisdom.

Dr. Ramos, a veteran of the United States Navy, is particularly interested in researching posttraumatic stress and suicidality in veteran communities. Dr. Lehman, on the other hand, has worked with diverse populations around the world, ranging from people seeking asylum to chief executives across industries.

At the Quantum Clinic, the focus is on empowering individuals to reset their baseline and transform themselves from the inside out. By using evidence-based treatments that are rooted in an understanding of epigenetics and biophysics, the clinic aims to promote deep cellular resonance and heart-brain coherence and to help individuals develop the tools they need to reverse stress and connect with their inner wisdom.

Overall, the Quantum Clinic is a unique and innovative wellness center that offers a range of cutting-edge treatments designed to promote healing and transformation at a deep cellular level. Whether you are looking to heal from trauma, reduce stress and anxiety, or simply tune into your inner wisdom, the Quantum Clinic is a great place to start.

The Experience of Unpacking Initio

Opening an Initio perfume is a luxurious experience that is truly one of a kind. The brand’s packaging is sleek and modern, yet harks to some ancient, mystical practice, featuring a sleek black box adorned with gold lettering and an embossed Initio logo. Every moment of the experience feels daring and alluring.

As you open the box, the scent of the perfume wafts through the air, already beginning to seduce your senses. Inside, you’ll find the brand’s signature alluring bottle, carefully nestled in its soft black bed, resting until you engage with it and give it new life.

The Art of the Bottle

The bottle is a work of art, designed to be as beautiful and alluring as the scent it holds. With a sleek, modern silhouette, each bottle is crafted from the finest materials, with a heavy weight and a smooth, cool texture. The thick glass walls of the bottle ensure that the scent is protected and preserved, while the unique, adorned cap adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. Whether displayed on a dressing table or carried in a purse, an Initio perfume bottle is a statement piece that is sure to turn heads.

The Scent of the Unusual

Of course, the true beauty of an Initio perfume lies in its scent. Each fragrance is carefully crafted by the brand’s talented perfumiers, using only the finest, high-quality ingredients. From spicy, warm scents to fresh, light fragrances, Initio has something for everyone. What sets the brand apart is its commitment to creating truly unique, out-of-this-world scents. Whether you prefer a classic floral scent or something a little more daring and unusual, you’ll find a fragrance that speaks to you in the Initio range.

Initio Parfums is a brand that truly embraces the art of perfumery. From the moment you open the package, to the texture of the alluring bottle, to the bespoke, out-of-this-world scents, Initio takes you on a sensory journey that is truly unique and intoxicating. Whether you are looking for a special gift for a loved one, or want to treat yourself to a luxurious experience, Initio Parfums is the brand for you, a friend, a lover, a soon-to-be lover – well…anyone.

This has been my scent of choice since discovering it. My goal is to collect them all – because once you partake in the Initio experience, you never look back.

February 3, 2023

These new, patent-pending blankets are designed with comfort, warmth, ease, and flexibility.

PERFECTION for my kid who has a major Sensory Processing issue. She LOVES it.

Liz Holland, the CEO of Sensory Product Design, didn’t know she had Sensory Processing Disorder until her 50’s. Following her diagnosis in 2015, she realized her entire life had been spent making prototypes and devices to help others with SPD.

The daughter of an inventor who held more than 100 patents, Liz launched CozyThrow💤(pronounced “cozy throw-zees”) & CozyCo💤(pronounced “cozy co-zees”). Designed by someone with Sensory Processing Disorder, who’s range of comfort is very narrow, this blanket is the most versatile blanket you’ll ever own.

“I want to shine a light on SPD, Sensory Processing Disorder and help people start to understand this complex neurological disorder,” said Liz Holland, CEO of Sensory Product Design. “After I was diagnosed with SPD in my early 50’s, I began to put the pieces together and started my mission to help people find solutions. CozyThrow💤and CozyCo💤can fend off triggers before they happen, thanks to their plush, non-pilling quality fleece fabric and ability to regulate temperature, saving people time and energy.”

Beyond warmth, CozyThrow💤 and CozyCo💤promotes a sense of calm. It’s perfect for busy toddlers that have a hard time settling down. The CozyThrow💤offers adults the same sensation of settling the nervous system.

CozyThrow💤 and CozyCo💤 include a foot pocket that is double lined with polar fleece and flares around the ankles. The hand pockets have finger & thumb openings that offer total, unrestricted comfort and the ability to hold almost anything to ensure warmth and mobility.

The super-soft, plush, non-pilling quality fleece fabric reduces potential sensory triggers and is comfy for everyone. It also stands up well to continuous use. It’s made to blend seamlessly into the home and use as an everyday throw blanket.

These durable blankets are designed to last while relaxing or during play. They can also be tossed in the washing machine and used as an everyday throw blanket.
