"Tabitha Carney and I have partnered in the past to offer restorative yoga and acupuncture events. The idea to partner together actually started at Curt's Cafe South. We are both very passionate about the work being done at Curt's South, and wanted to use our skills to help out. We are thrilled to have the support of Scott and Felicia from North Branch Yoga along with other healers who are donating their time and resources for the benefit, " said Amy Landolt, owner of Northshore Acupuncture Center.

The benefit features a stress relieving yoga class along with a mini-expo. Guests can tour booths for chair massages, hand reflexology treatments, angel healing, "make & take" stress relief essential oil sprays and acupuncture.
