news briefs Reiki Sessions at Total Health and Healing Center, Coon Rapids Amy Nesdahl Reiki Master Amy Nesdahl has recently opened office hours at Total Health and Healing Center (THHC), in Coon Rapids. Nesdahl has been practicing reiki for nearly 20 years in the northern suburbs and is excited to be joining the team at THHC. “Reiki can be a powerful piece to the healing puzzle,” explains Nesdahl. “Stress and trauma from the past, and present, create emotional and energetic blocks in our bodies. With supplemental work like reiki, the stuck energy can be lifted to support comprehensive body, mind and spirit healing.” Reiki sessions are one-hour long, very relaxing and create a gentle yet powerful space for the client to release old patterns to create a shift toward better health. THHC offers a wide variety of services, including chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, reiki, functional medicine, lab and allergy testing, animal chiropractic and more. Location: 11417 NW Hanson Blvd., Ste. 101, Coon Rapids. For more information, visit TotalHealthAndHealing.com or AmyNesdahl.com. “May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.

Ridwell Expands to Twin Cities, Collects Reusable and Hard- To-Recycle Items Ridwell, an innovative and eco-friendly service, is now making it easier for residents of the Twin Cities to reuse and recycle items that cannot be placed in the city’s curbside recycling bins and must be either taken to drop-off locations or put in the trash. They collect hard-to-recycle thin plastic film (produce bags, plastic shipping bags, etc.), batteries, lightbulbs and clothing, along with a rotating category that benefits local nonprofit partners. “Ridwell members care about the planet and want a way to more easily reuse and recycle items that are not included in the curbside recycling bin but shouldn’t go in the trash either,” says Ridwell founder and CEO Ryan Metzger. “We do the legwork so they can keep these materials out of the trash with confidence.” Ridwell gives household trash new life by partnering with companies like TREX, which turns plastic film into composite lumber for decks, benches and playground sets. A rotating category enables members to further declutter their homes and help local nonprofit partners in need of specific items. During the next few months, Ridwell will partner with Loaves and Fishes to collect non-perishable food items, the Prop Shop in Eden Prairie to pick up gently used kids’ clothing, as well as the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center to provide towels and pillowcases and Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity ReStore to share tools and hardware. Subscriptions range from $12 to $16 per month, depending on the length of commitment. Ridwell is currently in service in South, Southeast and Southwest Minneapolis and will expand into new areas based on community interest. Inspired by a 6-year-old and his dad looking to recycle old batteries, Ridwell began in 2018 and now serves more than 50,000 families in Seattle, Portland and Denver.

Once thought to only impact babies for breastfeeding, it is now known to affect a multitude of health issues from proper jaw development of children to sleep apnea into adulthood. Releasing lip/tongue-ties coupled with myofunctional therapy can help retrain lip, tongue and facial muscles and is now an integral part of oral and dental health. Amy Ha Truong, DDS, of Pure Dental, is expanding their services to offer Lip/Tongue-Tie Release using the latest technology, including the use of a CO2 laser, which is a quick and gentle procedure. They are also offering myofunctional therapy which provides appointments both onsite or online. Amy Ha Truong Lip/tongue-tie releases and myofunctional therapy can help promote proper facial and jaw development; develop healthy eating habits; improve speech difficulties; straighten teeth; correct mouth breathing issues; address clenching and grinding; relieve facial, neck and jaw tension; and improve sleep apnea. The procedure is simple, fast and lasting. A myofunctional therapist will prescribe a series of exercises to retrain and strengthen tongue muscles for the new range of motion patients will experience. “We are excited to expand our services to include lip/tongue-tie releases and myofunctional therapy to help with a wider range of oral health benefits for our patients,” shares Truong. Location: 6230 10th St. N., Ste. 520, Oakdale. For more information and appointments, call 651-731-3064 or visit PureDentalmn.com. See ad, page 12.
