Business: Gentle Healing Bodywork

Owner: Stephanie L. Besson, LMT

Background: I started the business in 2005, took a break for domestic matters, then started back up June 2017 in Newtown after relocating from Norwalk. I received my Connecticut state license in clinical massage therapy in 2005 from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy. I hold a BS from the University of Connecticut in exercise science/fitness management, and worked as a Health and Fitness instructor for several years in lower Fairfield County.

Business focus: I say it's about helping people live out their legacy. I provide a unique treatment that incorporates clinical and orthopedic massage, myofascial release, and energy work, which is similar to reiki. I have also been a physical therapy aid and volunteer in hospice and nursing homes, providing simple comfort to residents. In working with people to bring them peace I've decided on getting more training in oncology massage. I am currently working at Maplewood of Newtown and am looking to do more work as a medical massage therapist in other facilities.

Important to know: This work can improve posture, reduce pain, calm the mind, bring one closer to one's life purpose. The unique treatment when received on a regular bases is not so much a luxury as it is therapeutic work for the mind, body, and soul.

Near future promotions and seasonal specials: I host a Meditation for Pain Management session the third Friday of each month from 7 to 8 pm at the Muktinath Holistic Center, 731 Main Street in Monroe. The cost to attend is $15

Half right. The other half wrong (and left).

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
