Spring has sprung! It is time to celebrate the gift of a clean slate and welcome new beginnings. The change of season is filled with richness, ripe with unlimited possibilities to start anew. Whether a new job, new relationship, or a new way of looking at and approaching your life, it’s time to plant the seeds for your own abundant growth and for living a life that is your dream come true!

Discover the unlimited growth potential that life can bring forth. All events in life can be viewed in two ways: as life enhancing or as a wake-up call to create something positive through change. Either way, you win. It's the same with your body. What happens inside a cell is either healthy activity or a sign that a change is needed so that a healthy cell can replicate. Although life may seem random, in fact everything is pointing to a greater good - a positive result. Our evolution is not a win-lose crapshoot, but a win-win journey of growth and transformation.

Change can be seen as the self-correcting mechanism that aligns us with our purpose in life. If we embrace change as our true teacher, our life hugely expands. Don’t try to hold on to what you have, but learn to let go of the subtle attachments that keep you stuck in the same old safe, inside the box behaviors. Welcome change as a new antidote to suffering, and forgive and release old memories. Break out of old habits and patterns. Create a new perspective and a new body!

It’s all about you! Our wellness team will sponsor you on a journey of self-discovery that connects, transforms and awakens you to a more authentic you. Come in now and collaborate with us for the successful completions of your health and wellness goals.

Are you ready to connect and awaken to the gift of a clean slate and a chance for a new beginning? Isn’t that the spring cleaning you are really looking for?

The first step for creating change is to come in for an integrated wellness consultation with me or any of my qualified wellness colleagues. These consultations offer options for breaking through, thinking bigger and taking the appropriate action step towards shifting your dreams into a reality of a happier, healthier and more authentic you.

Living in Passion & Wellness,

“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we respond to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and OUTCOMES. It is a catalyst--a spark that creates extraordinary results!”

Many doctors today only have a few minutes to see you and typically will rely on drugs as the quick fix for your symptoms. You probably know that drugs rarely treat the cause of your health or life concern. They only mask the symptom, making the patient dependant on the drug. Self-empowerment is NOT a word the big drug companies and other corporations want you to hear.

At Sea Change New York our mission is to provide you with simple, effective and practical tools to help you activate the God-given and natural ability you body has to heal itself without depending on expensive drugs or dangerous surgeries. Our mission is to empower YOU!

We love to educate and inspire you to grow beyond any health or life challenge that is preventing you from living to your fullest potential. For most of you, some of the news and information presented will be very surprising. But the information is backed by medical science and stands the test of time.

Self-empowerment is often the solution! Do you believe that your perceptions, interpretations or lifestyle choices limit your growth and successful completion of your goals? Are you are facing a health concern or would like to increase your wellness potential? The Sea Change wellness team can provide sponsorship so that you may become an active, empowered partner in your wellness experience.

To support you in your journey, SCNY is upgrading the ways that we share our wellness tools with you. Changes this Spring include the creation of our new brochure and the renewal of our website, making it easier to view and more intuitive to use. You will notice new interactive quizzes, an event calendar, and ways to communicate directly with SCNY. Or, sign up for our email wellness news. Our goal is to connect effortlessly to “wellness lifestyle” readers around the world.

FAT FEAR

Is your weight management under control? If you merely count calories in and out, or are into low fat, non-fat, high-carb, low-carb, no carb, you have been mislead. Our addiction to “dieting” has resulted in higher rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease than ever before. It’s time for a change. Why Weight? Sea Change now.

Rather than wonder if it’s the carbs, calories or stress that is causing your weight issues, learn how to balance your metabolism with our customized nutrition plans, prescriptive nutrients, supplement advice and personalized coaching to create new behaviors and relationships with food. Together we can put the need to “diet” far behind and bring your weight and wellness into balance and harmony.

Try our WEIGH LESS CHANGE programs where our wellness team will support you in the successful completion of your goals with sustainable results.

“What should I be eating and when?" The answer is already inside of you! The metabolic chemistry inside each one of your cells holds the key to your successful, long-term weight loss and overall vibrant health. While we all have the same hormones, organs and processes occurring inside our bodies, many of us are out of balance in a uniquely specific way. This is why the answer cannot be found in the latest fad diet book or infomercial touting a miracle cure. It’s all about chemistry! Complex chemical reactions occur every time you put food in your mouth. You wouldn’t start mixing chemicals in a lab without knowing the exact recipe or without supervision. Why would you play with your body's chemistry without a specific recipe for optimal, sustained energy, minimal cravings, and maximum fat burn? Let’s work to determine your “Fat Chemistry” and the metabolic equation that will allow you to effortlessly lose your weight issues forever.

Make an appointment today to get started and receive guidance with choosing the program that is perfect for you.

Dr. Brooke Kalanick

I had struggled with being over-weight my entire life. I read all the articles and attended Weight Watchers meetings for years but the puzzle finally made sense with Dr. Kalanick’s Weigh Less program. She tailored a program for my body and took the extra time to explain my hormonal imbalances. She also worked with my fitness instructors to help tailor a workout program that was geared towards my weight loss goals. I always felt like I had a champion in my corner, even when I was not there for myself.

I lost 100 pounds in just over 12 months and cleared my initial weight goal. I have experienced so many life changes recently. I feel like a different person now physically and mentally, in terms of the way I handle stress and my emotions. Brooke challenged me to try foods that I never thought I would. Eating right and exercising regularly have become as important in my daily life as my job.

Hotel Manager, Bellevue, WA

I lost 50 pounds in a matter of months!

I used to feel guilty after eating, but since working with Dr. Kalanick, I've changed my eating habits to a healthier portion of food that is consciously chosen (lean meats, vegetables, cheese, yogurts, nuts, etc).When I eat bread or pasta, I watch the portion and enjoy every bite. That's been the most important lesson - choices! The combination of Dr. Kalanick’s insight, enthusiasm, and guidance really helped me reach my goal despite my traveling so much for work. I loved check-ins. She would ask, "How is it going?" I would say, “I’m down 25 pounds - my clothes are falling off me!" It feels great! I am planning to do a triathlon next. Without Dr. Kalanick, I would never be able to even consider this!

“Network Spinal Analysis and Somato Respiratory Integration are amongst the most powerful sources of personal transformation I have ever experienced or seen. They produce embodied and empowered strategies that are both sustainable and enjoyable for enhanced human resourcefulness and wellness.”

Read more about Network Spinal Analysis at our Research Corner

At the heart of SCNY are the premiere wellness protocols of Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) and Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI). NSA and SRI play significant roles in establishing a more effective brain-body connection. Professionals from all walks of life successfully integrate these innovative and effective treatments for enhancement of body, mind and soul performance at every level.

NSA and SRI both establish connection and enhance awareness of the way breath and energy move through the bodymind, allowing for the body and its systems to effectively shift tension into ease, which plays a significant role in the wellness experience.

Practice members experience enhanced social interactions and participate in and enjoy more leisure and play activities because of the increased ease in verbal and non-verbal communication skills.

NSA/SRI are effective tools for anyone exploring the potential resources rooted within one’s self, those searching for true authenticity and purpose, or anyone treating or recovering from illness and disease. NSA and SRI are the perfect complement in the treatment of addictive behaviors, attention deficit disorders, central nervous system and emotional disorders.

Ask yourself - are you STUCK? Is your life working? If you would like to unearth your personal resources and develop a more fulfilling, abundant life, it’s time to come in to SCNY and discover how this work can change your life.

“Embrace Change and Health, Vitality and Wellness are yours.”

Every spring the seedlings and buds open and stretch toward the sun to receive its goodness. They begin the process of growing and living to their fullest potential. We can learn a lot from these tiny plants! Stretching is an important process that many of us overlook. Stretch into change by stretching the muscles and structures of your body.

A simple process that can be practiced daily, stretching relaxes and elongates shortened muscles (muscles with limited range of motion) and increases range of motion and flexibility. If you feel pain in a muscle, add a heat pack for a few minutes for relief and to increase circulation in the area. Stretch with the heat pack on the muscle, or apply it afterwards. A hot shower or bath will soften and mak the muscles more pliable, making post-bath the perfect time to stretch!

If you are unsure of what kind of stretches are best for you, ask your massage therapist! Massage therapists are well trained in specific exercises that help release tight muscles. Stretching can make a huge difference in your workouts, recovery from injuries, or in everyday repetitive tasks that create knots and tension. When you receive massage on a regular basis, you’ll find your body feeling limber and refreshed and ready to take on the new season!

Want to include stretching during your massage? Try our new Lavender Citrus Thai Twist Massage. See below for details of this deliciously therapeutic spa service. You will be delighted at the difference this massage makes in your body. Call today to make your appointment!
