Deep Tissue Massage

Reduce tension in deep layers of the body.
Treat chronic stress
Better sleep & workouts
Treat pain

Deep tissue massage is one of my clients’ favourite types. Expect to be sore after the treatment – it has some similar effects as exercise, and it is highly recommended for those who do not like exercising.
A regular deep-tissue massage would be highly recommended if you are particularly stressed. I encourage you to try it at least once to see how you like it, and perhaps you will later find yourself wondering why you hadn’t tried it sooner.

Woofs and tail wags from all of us here at the FAAN shelter!
While we may not have a cozy home to celebrate in, our hearts are full of gratitude for people like you who spread love and kindness to furry friends like us.

Today, as you gather around the table with your loved ones, know that your support and care make a world of difference. Your compassion gives us hope for our new shelter and our own forever homes and reminds us that we’re not forgotten.

We’re sending you pawfuls of love, sloppy kisses, and the warmest tail wags this Thanksgiving! Thank you for being our hero.

Three of the pups in this year’s Thanksgiving photo are looking for a home to call their own right now. Write us at info@faanecuador for an adoption application and a meet and greet.

The white dog, Champ, became a great senior dog who gave lots of love to his baby sister before crossing over the rainbow. #Grateful #FAANSeniorDogs Rock

Wouldn’t you know while writing the article for Yapa Tree, John came across a pup in need and is now fostering her while we search for a Forever Home.
Thank you to John and Yapa Tree for building awareness about animal welfare in Cuenca.
And if you have room in your home and heart, consider adopting the beautiful and loving Cosette.

Why is listening the major and the hardest skill to master?
While learning a second language we prioritize the image (the written word rather than the sound).
We stick to the known and refuse or keep away from the unknown> listening is not safe. Reading and writing is safe and easier.
Why do you learn a new language? Are you planning to write a book or do you need to communicate with other human beings? with a different worldview and his/her own cultural background?
I am a self taught writer however I can’t help with your book, but if speaking Spanish confidently and getting rid of your foreign accent is in your bucket list, so, here I am.

Gmail me and I will determine if I can help you the coming enero (January).

You don’t need to spend years attending a Spanish school to sound like a native.
Do you know why?

Because if you have survived the boring book and the grammar lessons, by the end of the course you will end up feeling that learning a language is not your cup of tea (reason number 2 why a student refuses to learn a language).

Because no matter how hard you try to master syntax and vocabulary, if you are not able to speak in a decent way in which you feel approved by a native speaker you will end up giving up on any attempt to speak a second language (yes! you nailed it! this is the reason number 1).

Do you relate?
Cultural trips, tons of grammar, a bunch of books on your nightstand but in the practice> afraid like a fish out of the water?

Don’t dance bachata using the rock n’ roll rhythm.
Don’t speak Spanish using your native language rhythm.

Nope! Don’t get me wrong, I am not promising you to buy the world or fluency at the tips of your fingers or in a couple of days, it takes time and effort but here I am to help.

There are some things money can’t buy, for language training I am still teaching one on one.
Because you know… being able to communicate and get compliments for your language skills is…. how to say it….????? hmmmm> priceless.

Every day, the volunteers at FAAN get the power of pawsitivity with the entries we receive each morning for our Wine to the Rescue competition.

Your Pup is just waiting for you to schedule their photo shoot, knowing their Sassy personality could be the face of Fundacion FAAN and Cosecha’s Holiday Chardonnay and Cabernet.
Send your Pupparazi photo to info@FAANecudador.org with their name and gender and your name of course. Deadline for applications is November 25th

Every bottle of these fine wines sold over the holidays will benefit FAAN’s Mission including the building of Cuenca’s new animal shelter. We bought the land for the FAAN Shelter and now it’s time to get building, particularly with an emerging landslide issue at the temporary shelter.
We will also be having a holiday concert and wine tasting with the amazing Gatos Negros in December!
Watch for Details and visit us at FAANecuador.org to donate, volunteer, and adopt one of our 150 doglets waiting to come home for the holidays.

Our own FAAN rescue dogs are excited to see so many pups enter our Wine to the Rescue competition where your best friend could be the 2023 FAAN/Cosecha Wine Label.
Get your pupparazi on and send us your dog’s big personality by November 25th.

At FAAN we think it’s pretty incredible that each bottle of wine sold will help us build a new home for our doglets. Here is Manchas. She’s hoping to have an adoption date over a nice bottle of our Cabernet.

Wine and Dogs: Two things that make life “grape”
Write us to enter your dog in our wine label competition or to arrange a date with Manchas and our other beautiful dogs waiting for a Forever home.

A healthy lymphatic system can do this without a problem, but certain health conditions and physical damage can cause fluid buildup.

Lymphatic drainage massage, or manual lymphatic drainage, is a gentle massage to relieve painful swelling in your arms and legs.

Usually, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via lymph vessels and lymph nodes. When something disrupts your lymphatic system’s process, lymph collects in your arms and legs, making them swell.

Lymphatic drainage massage aims to increase your lymphatic system flow, flush toxins from your body, promote relaxation and reduce swelling.

Conditions that benefit from lymphatic drainage massages are:

• Rheumatoid arthritis is ongoing arthritis in your joints causing joint pain, swelling and stiffness.
• Fibromyalgia: This condition causes chronic muscle and joint pain.
• Chronic venous insufficiency: This happens when your leg veins aren’t working effectively, making it hard for your blood to return to your heart from your legs.
• Lipedema happens when excess fat accumulates in your lower body, blocking your lymphatic pathway and causing lymphedema.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage
• Promotes general relaxation and increased physical well-being
• Combats fluid retention, lymphedema, and varicose vein formation
• Helps reduce cellulite and improves the appearance of the skin
• Assisting in the treatment of post-operative inflammation, chronic infection, and healing problems
• Strengthens the immune system
• Promotes proper circulation
• Alleviates pain
• Minimizes scar formation
