Episode 117: Nurturing Natural Beauty, Calm Presence & Authentic Self-Expression with Sadie Adams of Take Care
In this week’s episode of The Live FAB Life Podcast, I’m joined by Sadie Adams, the Proprietress of Take Care, a spa with locations in New York City and in the Venice Beach area of Los Angeles where a collective of practitioners explore conversations of beauty and health, authenticity, and self-expression.
You’ll hear Sadie share:
How she started her career studying Ayurveda and teaching yoga
How she became an esthetician
What is microcurrent and the origins of it
How she cultivates relationships with her clients by working with intention to explore the schism between where their motor actions are, and how they can integrate their intentions closer to their motor actions and become more integrated beings.
LISTEN TO THE EPISODE:
“We can always have an ideal intention and find a schism between where our motor actions are, the context of that and actually see that enough to give ourselves permission to move our intention closer to our motor actions so that we can be more integrated. It really just depends on what kind of quality of experience we’re looking for during this life.”

Naomi Nakamura: Hello my friends and welcome back to the Live FAB Life podcast. I'm your host, Naomi Nakamura and I am so excited to share this week's episode with you.
Joining me this week is Sadie Adams, and first I'm going to read her official bio and then I'm going to give you the background on how Sadie and I came to meet.
Sadie Adams is the founder of Take Care in New York City and Los Angeles. Her study's in anatomy at the School for Body-Mind Centering and in Ayurveda and yoga therapy at The Ayurveda Institute led her to focus on regenerative therapies.
Sadie has been sharing her insights on movement and consciousness for over the last 20 years, calling on science, technology, ancient wisdom and intuitive awareness, which you will hear her talk a lot about in this episode, to support healing and increase human capacities.
Her community of clients and practitioners greatly influence her work. She feels that conscious relating, sensitivity and presence are essential in the process of transformation and development. Sadie's signature facials utilizes a range of modalities customized for each person, which she determines at the beginning of each session. Sadie offers microcurrent TMJ treatment, reflexology, stem cell treatment, microderm abrasion, LED therapy and oxygen treatments. So that is Sadie.
How did I come to meet Sadie? It was back in December. I was getting ready to go on a road trip to Los Angeles. It was the night before we were leaving and I was sitting on my couch going through Instagram stories and I was watching the stories of this actress that I follow. She tags this spa in Venice Beach, which is close to where we were going to be staying, and so I clicked on her profile and I saw Sadie. I clicked on the spa's website and I started to read through what they were offering.
That weekend happened to be my birthday, and I thought, "You know what?" I mean obviously you guys know I'm into skin care. I thought, "I'm going to treat myself to a treatment here because this looks like a really cool place. The space looks beautiful, has a nice vibe. I really like the things the website talks about. I think I'm going to treat myself."
The next day I was driving down to Los Angeles with my friend Diane. I was driving. We were on the 152, which is the connector between 101 and I5 and I said, "Hey Diane. I kind of want to check out this spa. Can you look it up and book an appointment for me?" Since I was driving. She grabbed my phone and she looked it up and she booked this appointment and had no idea what I was getting into, really didn't know what microcurrent was.
But we showed up at this spa. It was lovely. I got onto the table to start my experience and Sadie, who already had this really nice calm presence about her that I was really appreciating, and her first words to me was, "What's your intention for today?" It kind of struck me because those are things that you would hear in a Reiki session or in a meditation session or in a yoga class, but not in a spa for a facial. Ever since then she really had me hooked.
I've seen her now three times because I love her treatments so much and they are so amazing. But it's beyond the treatments and the facials she gives. It's the experience that I have seeing her and how she brings the science and the technology, but with the ancient wisdom together I find very, it appeals to me and I really enjoy the experience and so I'm really honored and I appreciate Sadie giving her time and coming on this show to share that with all of you. So with that, let's get to the show. Hello my friend. Welcome to the show.
Sadie Adams: Thank you so much for the invitation Naomi.
Naomi Nakamura: I'm very excited to chat with you. I found you a couple months ago on Instagram by chance. It happened to be the night before we were traveling to Southern California and I happened to click on your profile of your spa and then click on the website and was very fascinated by the things that I saw there. Right on your homepage you have that you provide education, self-care, and balanced living and that automatically just drew me in. And then you have that you are nurturing those exploring natural beauty, calm presence and authentic self-expression.
I kind of feel that's kind of a trajectory that I've been on for a few years now, so of course it was my birthday that weekend and I scheduled an appointment with you and it was an experience like no other. We've since been back again and we are flying back down this weekend just to see you. I'm very, very honored that you're here today.
For those who don't know who you are, can you just share with us who you are and what it is that you do?
Sadie Adams: Yes, to the extent that I'm discovering that myself. My name is Sadie Adams. I'm the Proprietress of Take Care Face and Body in New York City and Take Care Body Mind in Los Angeles and Venice Beach. We're a collective of practitioners of who are open to the conversation of beauty and health together and how to support each other and be of service on the larger scale in these times.
Naomi Nakamura: It's so interesting because I'm very much into the beauty part. I think I shared with you in my first session that I was getting one of your signature facials, which I'm so hooked on. But I had shared with you that I actually am not a fan of facials because in the past I've always felt that they were so, honestly I never thought I would make it through a session because there were so, I don't want to say invasive, but there's a fan in your face where you feel like you can barely breathe. I always found it to be a very stressful experience.
That is completely the opposite of the experience that I had with you. First of all, before we get into that, you have a different background than most other estheticians. You had shared with me that you do a lot of work with meditation and with yoga. How did you get into this line of work? How did you go from there to here?
Sadie Adams: Before we go into that, I was just hearing into what you were saying about the taglines on the website and considering that a lot of the feedback we get on the website is that people don't really understand what it says, and so it's been a back and forth to try to become more accessible and more clear. Recently there was the death of Robert Hunter who's a writer, a lyricist and wrote some pretty epic songs for the Grateful Dead, including Dark Star.
In that interview that was in one of the documentaries he was asked to explain what the basically what the content of the lyrics meant. He was going over the lyrics and he just said what they meant. He said the lyrics and he said, "What do you mean? It means what it says." I'm always compelled to know more about the clients such as yourself that are drawn in by those [crosstalk 00:07:54].
Naomi Nakamura: By those words?
Sadie Adams: Yeah. The [inaudible 00:07:58] is such that it kind of opens something up and so I just wanted to say thank you for your enthusiasm and for allowing me to hold such a specific question. Part of that question is, yeah, how did I get here? How am I an esthetician? In so many ways it doesn't make obvious sense.
Naomi Nakamura: I think just going back to those words, you can do a quick Google search and find that there are so many options out there to get facials and other skincare treatments. I think yours speaks to a very specific kind of clientele, of those who are already searching for a self authenticity and searching through self growth, and they care about what things are put on their bodies and those things matter to them. They're a little bit more conscious about whether it be using safer products for health reasons or using safer product, or using more environmentally and eco friendly products.
But I think you speak to a very specific person. When that person finds you, those words speak immediately to them because I'm all about education. I'm definitely all about self care as the conversations that we've had, and especially finding balance because I have spent so much of my life not in balance that those words just attract me.
When you talk about things like natural beauty, calm presence, and authentic self-expression, maybe it's because I'm in my 40s now where I am all about authenticity and just I am who I am. I don't know how to be anyone else. I'm done trying to be someone else and this is me. This is where I'm at. I think someone who's already on that journey is definitely going to be attracted to those words, that combination of words and the fact that we all love skincare treatments.
So again, like you said, bringing those things together is maybe not something that's more traditional and that's why I find you so unique and I really wanted to have this conversation with you.
Sadie Adams: Thank you. We have a meditation group on Monday nights, as I've mentioned to you, that's been going on in Venice for five years. This Monday we entered into a contemplation about authenticity and self-expression through one of the participants [inaudible 00:10:16] for the circle. It's such a curious question for these times because we're really asking to clarify our choices in both perception and participation and really understand who in us is seeking, in our case, a certain aesthetic or a certain experience.
It's a worthwhile question to hold, that why and that where is that coming from. These times offer us this opportunity to clarify that for ourselves in a way that no other time since we've been here has. And I'm really celebrating that right now, just that it's okay in a certain way not to know ourselves because part of what we're doing on this planet is realizing ourselves.
Naomi Nakamura: We're recording this. I think today's February 12th, and the episode that I released yesterday was titled What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid? And I think that really goes back to we might not necessarily know who we are or ask that question, what am I afraid of? Why am I afraid of this? Really who I am, and I found myself asking me that question.
I think back in 2011 or 2012, and it was the moment where I just was like, "Oh my gosh. I don't know who I am." It was really brought about, I think that's when Brene Brown was starting to get well known with her Ted Talk. I remember hearing, I didn't listen to it yet, but I had hearing about her Ted Talk on vulnerability and I realized I literally had to look up the definition of the word because I didn't know what it meant. I remember lying in bed reading my Kindle thinking, "I don't know how to be vulnerable."
I really think that started these thoughts in my head of what is my authentic self and how am I going to express that. It drew me more towards conscious living. At the time I didn't really know what that meant. But that's really what started me to do the things that I've done to get to where I am today.
It's very interesting.
Sadie Adams: Yeah, it's like who and what is influencing our choice making at any given moment.
Naomi Nakamura: Internally and externally.
Sadie Adams: We have this opportunity with social media and with the way that media is changing for better or for worse to start to rely more on or own intuitive sense and our navigating skills, discernment in our own systems to be able to choose our own role models and our own direction.
Naomi Nakamura: That really comes down to having trust in yourself and trust in your judgment and trusting what your intuition and what your gut's telling you and that discernment.
Sadie Adams: That's why we started this circle so that we can support each other in that endeavor so each of us has our own unique way of interfacing with nature of the natural world. There's not one way to do that. So communication skills and listening really allowing each other our processes is exciting right now. Even when it comes to self-care and skincare, we're being told so much by the advertisers.
I was on the phone with Yelp again yesterday because they call every other day to try to get us to pay for our listing and I don't have an interest in Yelp and oftentimes the salesperson will hang up on me or it'll be a much longer conversation than it needs to be because I don't feel like they're really registering what I'm saying. It's like it's not a sales pitch for every piece of it. I don't [inaudible 00:14:14] faced with that world much because I don't have a television and I have an insular to daily experience, and that includes prayer and nature and my way of interfacing with physiology.
When I'm met with that I'm always so fascinated how obvious it is. I will say something and he'll tell me like, "So what you're saying is that you don't want to be overwhelmed or that you don't need more clients." It's like, "No, that's not what I'm saying." I'm not interested in attracting clients in a certain way.
Naomi Nakamura: Yes.
Sadie Adams: It does not compute on a capitalistic kind of way. I've been a small business owner for over 15 years and it's such a unique position to be in because I don't feel equipped. I often was wondering how it would've been if I went to business school. And then it's like well, what model would I be operating from?
Naomi Nakamura: Well even 15 years, that's starting way before social media was even around. You started in a very different way. Going back to my question, how did you go from doing that work to this work? Tell us the story of how you got started because I've heard a little bit about it and it fascinates me. I think it's amazing.
Sadie Adams: I could say that it's karma. I think that the karmas could be expressed in different arenas. I don't think it had to be skincare. It's just happened to be. There's a lot of places where skincare and healthcare cross.
I was a seeker as a small child and it brought me to various twists and turns and suffering to facilitation. I was seeing facilitators at a young age and following my interests and as such, I ended up in Ayurveda school in the '90s. I was a yoga teacher already at that time. I was working with yoga because I have a lot of pain in my body and experienced quite a bit of pain. Yoga was something that actually helped me have enough contrast to be able to be in a conversation with pain in a way that was something I could work with and learn from and be present with.
That was really potent and I kind of through that was turned onto Eastern studies and magic, magical way that we're all even the mundane is magic. [crosstalk 00:17:03] concept. At a young age I was studying these philosophies and teaching and integrating what I was learning through sharing with others.
Naomi Nakamura: This is before a lot of this was, I think it's a lot more mainstream now, that that was before.
Sadie Adams: Very much before, and also in New Mexico where there was a whole pocket of healers and alternative thinkers thankfully that said in order to get yoga teacher certificate I had to fly on an airplane to explore that. There wasn't anything present in New Mexico at the time. It was a strong intention. I suppose underneath that intention was a desire to be of service of some kind and integrated service that I just felt the relief from the people who had helped me to be so vital.
That's kind of how it all began. I studied Ayurveda and movement science and anatomy and biology, developmental anatomy. I just was so fascinated by the study of physiology and how it recapitulates in every piece of my experience. And all of the patterns were there. It's just some people couldn't see them or wanted to speak to them.
I was a person who was curious about how to tease some of that into our experiences in the waking state in a way that wasn't so repelled and rejected by people. The language became a study as well.
I moved to New York City in 2000 in Y2K and I was there for the blackout and 911 and through landlord tenant court and just really lived New York City to it's fullest. I worked at running a yoga school through a connections through Ayurveda Institute, a yoga department, and the studying with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen of body and mind centering up in Amhurst at the time. The yoga community started to become larger and I was still very alternative.
But by the time vinyasa yoga became interesting I started to become very alternative in terms of what I found was interesting. [crosstalk 00:19:38].
Naomi Nakamura: You were ahead of the times.
Sadie Adams: Kind of tripping out on certain aspects of consciousness and the application of gravity and space on our experience and different reflexes. It was always a very specific client that would be interested in even having that conversation. Some of those clients I still have today, this week, and it's really such a blessing to have that collaboration on knowing for so many years.
Naomi Nakamura: It is. It's a blessing and it's also it's amazing.
Sadie Adams: I learn so much from the facilitation every time. I'm told that is one of my intentions with working with people. Along that time of running that yoga school, one of the teachers there, her mother was involved in acupuncture and microcurrent. They asked me if I would be interested in developing a training program for estheticians. I didn't really know what an esthetician was or how a facial decides, my Ayurveda teacher teaching about marma points and working in the panchakarma department. It opened up to a very new place and required me to go to aesthetic school and look into all of that, and it was slightly traumatic the first couple of months.
I was sitting in the back with my lab coat and they [inaudible 00:21:07] sunglasses on shielding myself from the fluorescent lights. It was the first time I had been an institutional learning environment, well the first time as an adult. I remember just being very not at ease when I was learning about it.
Then after the second month when there was more practical experience and I was applying it in my life in the education part, I became inspired and I realized I did learn a lot and I was integrating it in what I had already learned in terms of the body and was asked to teach at that school that I learned at. It was really a way of making more money and teaching more. I already had my clients and a lot of the clients didn't, the yoga clients had never had facials, so many people kind of finding this place in themselves that was this archetypic aspect of their own recognizing that there's centrality and their beauty and it felt really empowering to those people, men and women.
I got a kick out of it. Then I saw, I was working with microcurrent and I saw how that was represented in the body of anatomy through the circulatory channels. It was just fascinating to see the long-term and short-terms effects of the application, the technology. And before you knew it I kind of wasn't teaching yoga anymore. I had a completely different life and then I'm opening up a storefront in a village and then just kind of at the effect of New York City and all of it's strange influence that it has in terms of pressurized manipulations and how to do things and how things have to be done. I really burnt myself out running a business.
Naomi Nakamura: It happens.
Sadie Adams: There was an underlying sickness the whole time since I was a child, but it was just a virus in my body, and at some point it became agoraphobic in New York and was just keeping to myself. I was in the back treatment room. My sister was running the front and I would peak my head out and if I had clients they'd come see me in the back loom room, this really beautiful sanctuary in our storefront. We had the garden in the back and I would just do my work and do my work and then I would retreat to my apartment which was by the store.
My life became about these conversations in private. When I opened Take Care in Los Angeles I left enough room for the meditation circle and for more teaching and to come back out. We have yoga mats and just more space to explore the coming out of the inner sanctum and interfacing again on a larger scale.
Naomi Nakamura: It's definitely a calm presence in the space. The space is definitely calming. I did not know what microcurrent was until probably after our first treatment when I went in. I'm like, I didn't even know what I was expecting, but I looked through your Instagram feed and I was like, "I think I want to try this," just on a whim. Can you explain what it is?
Sadie Adams: Sure. I feel like I'm still discovering what it is. There's aspects of the microcurrent that are really mysterious. I think what it has become for me is maybe much different than it was in the beginning. I understand that the technology was developed for a stroke and Bell's Palsy and burns. You figure out a way to increase the energy that the subcellular structures needed to actually reorganize after shock.
Naomi Nakamura: I didn't know that. I have someone very close to me who did experience Bell's Palsy many years ago. So that is interesting to me.
Sadie Adams: We've had, I would say, probably about eight clients over the years with Bell's and each time is a different expression. Everything is so different. I find it's always interesting to feel the ... It's like a somatic piece with the Bell's.
They would work on the, let's say in this case, the side of the face and after a series of treatments it would respond in a more optimal way than at least it was responding. And in some cases, particularly with stroke more than Bell's, it would start to respond with membrane balance and lymphatic drainage in a way that was potentially even more in alignment than it had been before or than the unaffected side. It was eventually curated as a aesthetic device. It's one of the fewer devices that don't provoke injury to encourage a healing process, and I really respect it for that.
I was so curious about it in the beginning myself. I was like, "Can I get sued?" It's like voodoo magic because it was like this is too good to be true. It's so simple in what it's doing. I choose to work with a microcurrent that's pretty subtle and it tends to work with a lot of people that are sensitive or just tends to work.
Naomi Nakamura: I have before and after pictures from Thanksgiving week. I think I sent it to you. And then after just two treatments, I can tell you, I can look at that photo so many times because there's such a stark difference there. I just look at it and amazed. I'm like, "How did this even happen?" It is a stark difference.
You bring a lot of other treatments to the experience as well. One of them is the TMJ massage, which I had never had before. I was thinking about it and well, it's quite painful for just a little bit. But I was thinking about it. I'm like, "I am 45 years old and that area of my body has never been treated before." I was thinking about it that way. I'm like, "I get massages on a regular basis but that's just one area of my body that I never thought needed to be cared for." And yes, the experience was much more painful the first time then the second time. But it felt really good.
Sadie Adams: I mean it's an intimate place to work. The mouth is this gut tube where it's both the outside and the inside of the outside. It's kind of interfaced, so where the front body and the back body actually meet each other developmentally.
Naomi Nakamura: Exactly.
Sadie Adams: There's a lot to be said about what's going on in the closer right now with the chakras and jaw attention. The second chakra just kind of how our hips and our jaws relate. The microcurrent machine that I work with, it has the opportunity to change the shape of the wave and there's certain wave shapes that can enter up in concentricity to holding patterns and concentric holding patterns, let's say, in the master muscle. It can be used just generally to bring more coherency through the various layers of the tissue, and also with specificity to activate proprioceptive cells and communication between them and muscle bodies and help to release some of those inhibited contractions.
That coupled with body work and the activation and the different channels, it can be really effective in helping the body understand it's holding patterns and recalibrate.
Naomi Nakamura: I think you just nailed that about what makes your experience so unique because what you said there really talks about truly how the mind and the body and the spirit are connected. But you talked very scientifically about what you all just said, but then at the same time the mouth and the throat chakra, you're bringing all these things together. And for me, that's what makes it very attractive.
Would you see that is the type of clientele you attract as well?
Sadie Adams: Yeah. I'm not the only practitioner at Take Care certainly, so please feel free to interview them in terms of [inaudible 00:30:09]. I noticed we have a lot of returning clients, particularly in New York. I think a lot of the healing happens through relationship and that there's no medicine to that authenticity that the practitioner brings that presence is the treatment.
Naomi Nakamura: That's why we like to see you, having that relationship.
Sadie Adams: And cultivating that relationship and tracking each other. So many times in spas, not that I frequent them that often, but we'll find worker bee mentality and really clear boundaries. It's almost like a night club, like a low key night club out in the lobby. There's all of this perpetuation of disassociation I find. Although I really respect the boundary of practitioner and client, that there's something about us choosing to spend time together, to spend space together and allowing the collaboration to be revealed. Each client brings something different to the table, or inspire something different.
I think that's what would take me to Take Care, just that's what sets it apart is that ability to connect, that there's a community aspect to it and a co-creative kind of ... There's this collaboration even that we're doing at the Take Care in Venice where the people, all the clients started with the meditation circle, are coming into embroider their intentions into the curtains. Everyone is just really enjoying that process of seeing everyone's different intention and [crosstalk 00:31:57].
Naomi Nakamura: For people who don't know, she has these curtains in her space, and I did see it on your Instagram that there were embroideries going on but I didn't know what they were, so now I understand what was going on.
Sadie Adams: Yes. This week when you come when Diane's getting her treatment, if you can think about what you'd like to embroider, that's something that you're called to do. I'd love to have you participate.
Naomi Nakamura: That's so cool.
Sadie Adams: I always felt that I was getting so much from each session. That was informing the other session so I felt like the clients knew each other through that energetic exchange. We have just due to our locations and our community, a fair amount of what would be considered high profile clients. It's just really a cool thing to see these people in the mix because there's something about Take Care that just kind of brings everybody down to the same place and that there's no threat to being objectified. It's a peaceful space for authenticity I guess.
Naomi Nakamura: To me it says that you've established this level of trust, whether they be high profile or not, but to go to somewhere where you potentially don't know anyone else and meditation's a very personal thing, to be able to let yourself experience that with strangers you don't know. I find that takes a tremendous amount of trust established to go and do something like that. If I was local I would be there.
Sadie Adams: We'll line it up for one of your trips.
Naomi Nakamura: For next time because we plan on coming down regularly.
Sadie Adams: I'm so glad to hear that. I'm glad to find out again how you found me because I had forgotten and I was seeing Christy Coleman of Beautycounter and she was saying that she had heard that you all coming down for these treatments and just celebrating the magic of Take Care in a certain way. Then she was saying, "They said that they saw you from the storefront sign." I was like, "No, no, no. They called on their way down when they were driving."
Naomi Nakamura: Literally driving down. We weren't even on the I-5 yet. we were on the connector to the I5 and I was driving and I told Diane, I'm like, "Hey, I watched this celebrity's Instagram story last night and she tagged a really cool spa that's going to be really close to where we're staying and I kind of want to treat myself to a treatment there for my birthday. Can you look it up?" And she did. She booked it for me as I was driving. We were there the next day.
I don't believe things happen just randomly. I really believe that it happened for a reason. That first experience with you I had no idea I was going into. Diane laid on the couch in your waiting area waiting for me. It was just such a profound experience because I had no idea that you had this background in meditation and you were a yoga teacher and reiki and I have experienced reiki before, a lot more regularly than currently.
I first experienced it through a time where I was so stressed out and it was besides my acupuncture treatments, it was really the only time I ever felt at peace. I'm going in expecting a facial and I laid there and then you're bringing these elements into the experience and I was like, "What is happening here? What's going on?"
Sadie Adams: What is your intention? You're like, "It's my birthday."
Naomi Nakamura: I was like, "To get a facial. I don't know." It really started making me think about because you asked me about why am I here, what I hoped for myself. At the time I was feeling so burnt out. 2019 for me was just all about burnout. I was really thinking about I need to go into this next year, I'm a health coach so I help people get healthy. I feel like my diet is pretty good and I exercise regularly but it was this whole I need to take care of myself better because, like you said, trying to start of a business of any sort takes a lot of, not just physical energy, but mental energy and emotional energy and all of this, and it had been four years of me since I very first started. And I think it just hit the pinnacle where I was suffering a lot last year without even realizing how much.
The time that we met was me coming to that realization and my resolve going into the year that we're in now, in 2020, was that this needs to be the priority for me, this self-care part really, really needs to be the priority. That's really what I'm focusing on. I'm not losing sight of the other aspects of what I do to take care of myself. But this part really is.
I really feel that it has to be more about conversation for others as well because, like you said, we're at a time now where so much of us, there's so many things demanding our time and our energy and our attention that it's so easy to lose focus of just taking care of who we are beyond massages and all of that, but really figuring out who are we deep down. What is our authentic self and how can we cultivate that and get to know her better and to bring her out in a way that matches what our current life situation is. If there's a delta there how can we bring those things together?
Sadie Adams: Working with intention is a really good measure for that because we can always have an ideal intention and find a schism between where our motor actions are, the context of that and really actually see that enough to give ourselves permission to move the intention closer to the motor actions so that we can be more integrated. It really just depends on what kind of quality of experience we're looking for during this life.
Naomi Nakamura: Exactly. I could talk to you for ages. I'll talk to you again this weekend. But for those who want to connect with you more, I know so much of your presence is in person in your beautiful location in Venice, but how can people connect with you if they're not there locally?
Sadie Adams: In general, our website is takecarebody.com. our location in New York is on Waverly Place and here in Venice on Abbot Kinney. I'm mostly here. In the summers I go to New York to the Hamptons. I'm seeing clients on Zoom.
Naomi Nakamura: Oh, you are?
Sadie Adams: We can do embodiment work over Zoom. We can do TMJ work, which I find to be just as effective, if not more so, because the clients really has the context of the accountability for the work. Meditation with transmission, energy clearing can all be done over the phone or over Zoom.
Naomi Nakamura: I did not know that. This I feel opens up a whole new world for me.
Sadie Adams: I can be reached directly through the connect@takecarebody. My Instagram is electricsadieland and the Instagram of Take Care is takecare.bodymind.
Naomi Nakamura: I will connect to all of those links over on the show notes for this episode.
Sadie Adams: Thank you for that.
Naomi Nakamura: Thank you so much for joining me. I feel like I want a whole other episode on getting into Ayurveda because I've never had that as a topic on this show. It's something that I don't know a whole lot about myself. I mean I've done a little bit of reading but we'll have to have you back sometime for an episode [crosstalk 00:39:49].
Sadie Adams: I can't say that I'm an expert on [crosstalk 00:39:53]. I do credit it for a lot of the early development in my outlook. I really appreciate having that exposure as a young adult. [crosstalk 00:40:08] to celebrate Ayurveda with you anytime and always have enjoyed our energy together. Thanks for coming down this weekend. I look forward to giving you a big hug and to our many more talks.
Naomi Nakamura: Me too.
Sadie Adams: Thank you so much.
