Washington Salon Adds Holistic Health Options to Service Menu

Kimberley Lauton, owner and founder of Headliners Salon in Washington, is excited to announce the addition of holistic healing to the service menu. “Learning to overcome obstacles in my own journey inspired me to want to help others. My formal education and training for certification is in integrative nutrition, as well as reiki and reflexology,” shares Lauton. “I have also been metaphysically and musically inclined most of my life, and have studied the theories of using frequency for discovering and correcting imbalances on the cellular level.”

The addition of healing services sparked its own identity, and “Illuminate YOU” was born. Lauton shares, “I thought the name was appropriate because what I do brings out the best in people from within and without through the beauty salon perspective. Feeling great about the way you look really does affect a person’s biochemistry positively.“

Illuminate YOU offers integrative nutrition counseling, group coaching, reiki, reflexology, sound healing, trace mineral testing, mind/body wellness workshops and more.

Location:  124 W. Washington Ave. Washington (inside Headliners Salon). Event calendar is featured on website. For information, call 908-835-0042, visit HeadlinersSalon.net and IlluminateYou.site  See ad, page 28.

Community September 2020
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
