If you are looking for an alternative treatment for a health problem, maybe you should look into Craniosacral Therapy. Stacey Goodman, Occupational Therapist, from the Dhanwantari Center was on the program to talk about what exactly Craniosacral Therapy is and the benefits of using it. She did a demonstration on our host Jaimee, which uses a gentle touch. Learn more about Craniosacral Therapy and other classes the Dhanwantari offers at the link below or stop by the shop in downtown South Bend.

We went to Hobart, Indiana to the Steel Wheels Indoor BMX Track for our Experience Michiana segment. One of the few indoor tracks in the Midwest, riders can enjoy the 750-foot long track made out of 2,000 yards of dirt and clay. Anyone of any age can go and try out BMX racing for 1 day free, so gather the kids and head over to Hobart!
