D Let Kristin Dahl streamline your wardrobe ouldn’t it great to Wyour aclosetbeand show have fashionista look through you how to make the most of your storage space and your wardrobe? Kristin Dahl of Midland Park has made a name for herself doing just that. Kristin’s runs a successful home-based business (Kristindahl.com) organizing clients’ closets and providing personal shopping services. Formerly a fashion merchandiser and industry representative for designers like Laundry by Shelli Segal, Jenne Maag and Magaschoni, Kristin is now using her experiKristin Dahl ence and fashion savvy to aid individual, local clients. Kristin finds that many women need to build a core wardrobe and build from there. She believes every woman needs a great pair of jeans, a blazer, khakis, great T-shirts, shoes, and handbags – all of which she considers building blocks. Kristin cautions against over-buying or simply purchasing an outfit that is displayed on a mannequin but cannot be used with any other pieces of clothing to create new looks. Cleaning closets may seem like a chore for some, but Kristin enjoys this aspect of her business. Once the best items have been identified, Kristin organizes the pieces that are staying by color and season and gives away the rest. She finds that her ability to identify with the lifestyles and needs of her clients makes it easy for clients to open up their minds -- and their closets -- to her. Trunk shows are another exciting aspect of Kristin’s fledgling business. Women who host her travelling collection in their homes receive free clothing, and their friends get to preview the latest fashions at great prices. Contact Kristin today at 201-444-6244 or visit www.kristin-dahl.com. Be sure to ask about her gift certificates, which are a subtle way to get someone you love organized or dressed to perfection or to take the burden off someone too busy to shop. Mia Anderson of Heal from Within fter experiencing the restorative power of body energy work in 1998, Mia Anderson, a veteran of 30 years of teaching, knew she was about to embark on a new career. “It was so dramatic for me that I said, ‘I have to do this,’” she said, recalling how acupressure provided her with lasting relief after 14 years of chronic neck pain. An acupressure session involves a practitioner working around a fully clothed, reclining client. The practitioner makes a circuit around the client, applying gentle pressure at about 50 acupressure points. Mia explained that acupressure provides lasting benefits and relaxation because the process works from the inside on many levels, including physical, mental, and emotional. “There are various networks within the human body, and the energy system, which includes pathways, or meridians, can become blocked for various reaMia Anderson sons,” she said. Acupressure restores energy flow, and clients might experience that restoration through involuntary laughing, crying, or yawning during an acupressure session. Many clients fall asleep. Clients report improvements in health conditions that range from allergies and stress/anxiety to fatigue and back pain. Mia was trained in IGM® Therapeutic Acupressure by founder of the modality Isabell Gatto and earned her certification in 2001. Learning from lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, Mia mastered acupressure. She is now one of the IGM® instructional staff and is practicing at her own business, Heal from Within, located at Main Street and South Franklin Turnpike in Ramsey. Sessions are by appointment only.
