Making time for self-care just got easier. Una Luna Massage, a mobile massage service that brings rejuvenating, therapeutic bodywork to your location, is now serving the greater Hunterdon area. With high quality and professionalism, every session is tailored to individual needs and preferences using top-tier massage techniques and premium products to ensure an optimally tranquil atmosphere. This personalized approach, combined with flexibility in scheduling and a deep understanding of holistic health, defines the essence of Una Luna.

This service is perfect for those who are too busy for self-care or simply prefer wellness options brought to their home. As Jennifer S., shares, “Una Luna Massage was the perfect solution for me. I have a busy schedule and frankly, prefer the comfort of my own surroundings. I will definitely be booking again!”

Owner Dania Vasquez, LMT, brings a unique background to her work. As a child growing up in the Caribbean, she was instructed in natural ways of healing the body, including the use of wild herbs and plant medicines plus traditional forms of energetic healing. “My Mama-Chea often referred to my ‘magical, healing hands’ and planted the idea that I might someday use these gifts as a way to bring healing to many people.” To expand this gift, she moved to the U.S. to pursue professional training as a massage therapist and energy healer.

Una Luna’s pricing includes gratuity and add-ons. Plus, there is no travel fee within 17 miles from 08867. First time clients can save $35 off with coupon code NEW35, and memberships are available.

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.
