More on your hosts and keeping in touch:
Joy has great teeth (seriously, dentist confirmed) and crazy good luck when bargain shopping. On Sundays she spends a few hours connected to Oprah watching  to get her ready for the week ahead. In the treatment room she’ll help you figure out what’s really underlying that ailment with her superpowers of asking amazing questions. Connect directly via twitter .
 Rachel binge watches TV on Netflix and talks like a “valley girl”. Her favorite meal is dessert; anything in the cake or cookie family and she’d have dessert three times a day if there were no adverse effects. In the treatment room she’ll make you laugh and cry at the same time; it will be an amazing catharsis. If you want to connect directly hit us up on twitter  #TSWRachel and Joy or Sam will get the message to our behind-the-times social media girl.
Sam cooks very little though her specialty, “Cheddarwurst,” is a Third Space Wellness family favorite. She knows which board game is on the up and up and throws amazing parties. Her Christmas lights never come down because we need holiday cheer and good light year-round. In her yoga classes she’ll help you appreciate your body’s strength and connect you a new BFF all the same time; she’s a crazy good connecter. Connect with her directly via twitter .
