Tahoma Wellness

Tahoma was the name of a beautiful  place in the Berkshires , in Western Mass,  that  belonged to my mother's family .  I grew up going to the cabin on the lake, deep in the mountains , and it always  was a place of peace, healing, joy, and a deep sense of wellbeing. The wooden sign, that said ' Tahoma" on the door ,was a welcome and heartwarming greeting whenever we made our way through the woodlands to this sanctuary .  

 The cabin was sold many years ago , and when my mom passed on, my daughters, sister and I made a pilgrimage to the many  significant places  of my mom's life. The cabin of course was one of them!!   

We tracked down the address, and I found myself knocking on the door of a large beautiful home!    The family that lived there remembered my family, and welcomed us to explore the property, including the original cabin ! 

​

What a  vibrant place of  healing and nourishment .

​

We all stayed by the lake for some time, telling our stories , having our moments  of tears, but mostly a feeling of coming home.

​

When my dad recently  passed on,  we all, my siblings, friends, neighbors , began the task of clearing out their home on Cape Cod . It had been a dream for them to live on the Cape , and they had lived such a life !

As I went into the garage one day , I stopped in my tracks as I saw a wooden sign , hanging above a window : 

                                               Tahoma.

The original sign from the magical cabin on the lake, in the woodlands of my ancestors , and a word from the Natives of the area , meaning " near heaven . "  

The power and yet gentleness of this has touched my heart . And so , when my personal website and domain disappeared { another story of technology glitches  these days } it was an opening for a whole new way .  

​

 and so, Tahoma Healing  embodies its many meanings , and brings us home to ourselves .
