Getting In Shape And Out Of The Holiday Blues

SEATTLE - Geri Dube and Lynette Thorlakson figure why wait for clients to come to them, when they can go to the clients?

The therapists are taking therapy 'out of the box'. They're walking and talking to clients around Green Lake. They're helping people with holiday blues.

This is the time of year, they say, where expectations are high.

"Expectations! What has been or what has always been often isn't always there," says Geri Dube' who also has a traditional practice on the Eastside.

So what can you do if you're blue? Go to a trained therapist they say or try this: Walk around Green Lake with either Lynette or Geri.

"It's strenuous," Geri said.

But so good for you. With the endorphins kicking in, you should feel better instantly.

It's all confidential, and it's all about helping you with depression, relationship problems, loss and grief.

All for $35 dollars an hour. And don't forget the added bonus -- you get in shape.

For more information, you can call them at (425) 739-0444. And we've compiled a list of Web sites to help with the holiday blues here.
