Welcome to Peaked Hill Studio by Valerie Sonnenthal
Updated for October 2024
​
September has always felt like the beginning of the year for me, not just when I was in school or my kids were, but my birthday month was jam packed this year with a week in NYC seeing old friends, great art, photobooks and attending the opening of the Robert Frank show at MOMA (a must see). It is the month I begin to shift moving between Providence and the Vineyard. I noticed how walking primarily on pavement changes how my feet feel.
It was great to experience Goddess on Earth Oracle Deck creator/author Lisa Levart lead an Ignite Your Intuition Pop-Up Workshop. I have known this artist since we were in our 20's. Empowering participants to trust their intuition and use her deck as a tool is a whole new chapter. Consider bringing her workshop to an event, family gathering or trust building workshop - you will learn and deepen your intuition.
The Martha's Vineyard Times published an article I wrote about my Functional Nutrition Practitioner Laura Indigo after learning she had recently trained with a leading Lyme doctor. Just after the article Laura shared, "another kind of Lyme test has become available, not just for acute or past exposure and for different microbes, but also for Lyme induced autoimmunity for joints/arthritic pain, cardiac, and neurological effects, since these are the three areas that have the most symptoms for chronic Lyme. Now there are specific markers we can look for to validate how this occurs, and address it as an autoimmune condition, with herbs that address persister bacteria as well as anti-inflammatory properties. I think this will also be helpful for many people to have an answer to what's going on, and know there's a method to address it."
*Also there is a Free Validated Lyme Questionnaire at lauraindigo.com/lymequiz.
I returned home to find a new beach--stones evened out so it's easy to move between larger stones and smaller ones or just walk with one foot on each surface. Be sure to use nature's bounty on your walks, your feet will thank you.
This is my favorite time of year at the farmers market, so many types of squash, fresh broccoli and tomato season seems endless. Be sure to eat fresh whenever you can - it does make a difference.

Rev6 Classes
Join Rev6 Core Instructor Valerie Sonnenthal for classes/workshops.
​
Learn to "repair and rebuild your body, revitalize your fascia, and regenerate your nervous system." Rev6 classes work from a range of instability challenges and variable means of resistance to restore and improve our stretch reflex through a unique sequence of movements.
​​
Rev6 classes are small so you can expect plenty of personalized instruction. Classes use physio balls, pipes, slant boards, weights and bosu balls.
Come and give it a try.
