LIFESTYLE LETTER

Festive Season

December 2022 PUBLISHER

Brian Patchett | brian.patchett@citylifestyle.com AD DESIGNER

Rachel Collins

The holidays are here and as the spirit of the season is among us, we often try to replicate what made the season feel so magical to us in our youth.

The traditions we set for our own families often mirror some of what we experienced as a child whether it is the smells, the sounds, the lights, the holiday activities, or a combination of it all that reflects that best.

While this season can be beautiful for some, it can be painful and lonely for others, especially those who have recently lost a loved one. In the true spirit of the season, let’s take care of those in our community that need assistance or who are alone. My hope for you this season is that you feel love and peace and that we all remember to take care of each other extending grace, empathy, and love.

Our feature articles this month include Ashley Hudson Therapy, providing compassionate therapy for our youth, Foskaris Wellness, helping achieve and maintain good health, Anaheim Hills Pediatric Therapy, Orange County’s leading pediatric center for occupational, physical, and speech therapy, St Francis of Assisi Catholic School, a culture focusing on developing a growth mindset in our children and Carlos Torres- Farmers Insurance, protecting your family, home and auto.

On the Business Monthly page we are highlighting two, an awesome event I attended supporting the Placentia Fire Dept. and a great local cause supporting our military.

The calendar of Events page captures three local Holiday events.

My team and I wish each and every one of our neighbors a happy holiday season and a prosperous new year.

Please support local and join in our community’s growth.

Thank you for reading City Lifestyle and I hope to see you around town!

Due to a sudden stroke, she found herself in a health crisis and required post-acute rehabilitation. She needed 24-hour nursing care, assistance with eating and physical, occupational and speech therapy. For her post-acute needs, we chose Park Vista Skilled Nursing – an established facility located in Fullerton. We had a great experience!”

Placentia Firefighters Association held its second annual Placentia Firefighters golf tournament on September 26, 2022, at Alta Vista Country Club. It was a sold-out crowd with 144 golfers participating. The day was full of fun activities and prizes for the golfers and all others that attended.

ASHLEY HUDSON LOCAL TEEN & FAMILY THERAPIST

Supporting Kids th rough th e Holidays When a loss occurs, it can hit extra hard during the holidays. There might be expectations that the holiday season brings feelings of joy, thankfulness, appreciation, and wishes come true however, for some families the holidays can also mean loss. As a teen therapist who works with teenagers struggling with grief, the holiday season can be confusing. Kids might observe the joy around them and not understand why they feel sadness due to the loss of a loved one, missing friendships, or the change in the family dynamics.

FEEL YOUR EMOTIONS One of the most helpful ways to support your kids during this time is to allow them to feel their emotions, whatever those may be. Each child might grieve differently and it’s important for you, as the parent, to allow them space to grieve and feel happy on their terms.

EMBRACE THE CHANGES The holiday season might look different than most years and that’s okay. Lean into the idea that this holiday season might have a mix of new and old traditions and involve different activities or different people. Another way to support your kid would be to ask them what new tradition or activity they would like to take part in this holiday season.

HONOR THE LOSS When suffering a loss, pretending that everything is fine can set you and your child up for stress and disappointment.

The intentions are good, but your child may feel that there is something missing or the family has changed. A helpful tip would be for you to take the time to honor the loss. This may look like doing an activity in remembrance of the loved one. Explore with your kid what would be a good activity, volunteer opportunity, craft, or fundraiser they would like to do in honor of their special person.

KEEP NORMAL ROUTINES Kids thrive off routine and structured schedules. Keeping their normal routines and schedule during the holidays can provide them with stability and security while they weather their grief.

It is important for parents to have a flexible mindset where they try to keep the normal schedule of bedtime and meal routines, however, are also cognizant of what their kid needs.

SUPPORT AND ALLOW SPACE Lastly, your kid needs you during this holiday season. Supporting and allowing space for your child to grieve is sacrificial and emotionally draining at times. While your child is looking to you to be their anchor and provide stability, parents must take moments for themselves to grieve and get support. The more you can allow others to be there for you during this sad and joyful time, the more you are able to be there for your kid. ashleyhudsontherapy.com

Foskaris Wellness TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH & WELLNESS

H OW TO | NU TR ITION ISTS + DI E TI TI ANS

Before you know it, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season will be here. The countdown will commence, the glittering ball will drop, and a New Year will be upon us all.

What better time to take control of your health and wellness?

No matter how well-intentioned your New Year’s resolution may be, a true lifestyle change requires more than just a season.

The feeling of a brand-new you—from the inside out—is more than worth the effort.

If you’re not sure where to start, Foskaris Wellness has exactly what you need to take that first step in the right direction.

“We’ve been helping families in the OC get healthier for over five years,” says founder/CEO and Nutritionist Penny Foskaris.

“We specialize in resetting metabolisms at any age, focusing on eliminating the struggle of weight loss, stress, sleeplessness, and more,” she says.

How do they do it? According to Penny, the secret to finding sustainable success is all about formulating a highly personalized plan based on the individual client.

“We use data collected from testing and scans to create a custom program that is tailored to each person. We then use a holistic approach in helping our clients achieve their goals easily, so they look their best and feel their best.”

Services include Body Composition Scans (InBody 570), Full Body Red Light Bed, Amped Muscle Sculpting, RedLight Sculpting, Zyto Scans, Infrared Saunas, Light & Sound Therapy Relaxation Glasses, and Crystal PEMF Mats.

Whatever your body needs, Foskaris Wellness has a solution to revolutionize your physical and mental health—no matter your age, body type, or current fitness level.

“We’ve helped clients over 11,550 times in the office, ages 17 to 92 years young,” says Penny.

In addition to a plethora of innovative tools and methods designed to reinvigorate your wellness from the inside out, the Foskaris team clarifies clients’ goals about what a healthy diet and lifestyle really look like to them —to achieve positive results with lasting change.

“There is a misconception that overeating is the only way that you will gain fat.

Hence the saying ‘eat less, move more.’

But I’m here to tell you that when a person doesn’t eat enough food (according to their BMR) they will gain fat! The data from our testing shows the client what to do to succeed,” Penny says.

“For many years, people have struggled to find what program works best for them to lose weight, and when they finally lose it, [it can be challenging to] not gain it back again,” she says. “There are so many programs that focus on a calorie deficit without first doing any testing to truly see how many calories each individual needs.

Without finding out first what a person needs, they could end up losing water and muscle instead of fat.”

The Foskaris approach encompasses initial and continuous monitoring to ensure they are losing weight and staying on track the right way. “We scan every person we work with each time they come in to make sure they are losing fat and empower them with personalized strategies that work for them,” says Penny.

“I am committed to taking the struggle away from weight loss and finally putting an end to the obesity epidemic. By gathering data and customizing programs to suit the needs of each individual with easy-tofollow strategies, it can be done!” she says. https://www.foskariswellness.com/

Assess Your

Insurance Needs

Insurance is not one size fits all. Feel confident with your coverage.

During the hectic hustle and bustle of the holidays, carve out some time to slow down and think about protecting your family financially.

What insurance coverage do you have in place to protect your nearest and dearest? What about your business, home, and investment properties?

Life gets busy, and this social season is no exception. As we spend time soaking up life’s many blessings during the most wonderful time of year, consider getting your insurance affairs in order so you can sit back, relax, and savor the spirit of the season—stress-free.

With over 17 years of combined experience, Yorba Linda-based Farmers Insurance agent Carlos Torres, along with fellow agent and office manager Devan Wright, can accurately and efficiently assess your current situation to design a customized coverage plan.

In addition to lending his expertise to clients regarding home and auto insurance, Carlos’s services include coverage for businesses and recreational vehicles.

Whatever your insurance needs entail, Carlos can cover it—and he will relay the information to you in a process that is transparent and straightforward. He encourages customers to ask any questions they may have.

Carlos also caters to clients seeking coverage in specialty areas such as high-fire zone home coverage, second home/investment home policies, and umbrella insurance coverage.

“Life insurance, AKA ‘family protection,’ includes mortgage, income, and estate tax protection,” says Carlos. “Get it while you’re young—it’s less costly.”

Carlos remains dedicated to his professional calling thanks to his customers. “Hearing how we’ve made a difference in people’s lives is what inspires us,” he says.

His business’s five-star rating and numerous glowing reviews reflect a passion for providing service that is consistently service-oriented and personable.

Carlos believes in tailoring coverage to the needs of each individual, as well as ensuring clients understand and feel confident in their insurance coverage options.

“Insurance is not a ‘one size fits all service", “he says. “It is my desire to help and educate as much as possible.”

That personalized interaction extends well beyond sharing his knowledge base with customers. It’s a feeling he hopes to provide his clients throughout their entire experience—starting with getting to know people on a deeper level.

“My agency is serviced by real people that you can call or visit with,” Carlos says. “We know people’s stories—not just their policy numbers and coverages.”

Helping people secure necessary insurance coverage to properly protect themselves and their families while also treating them like one of his own is a skillset Carlos hopes to keep sharpening for years to come.

“I plan to continue to develop our strong reputation for professionalism—with a personal touch,” he says. https://agents.farmers.com/ca/yorba-linda/ carlos-torres

Emily & the Anaheim Hills Pediatric Therapy Team

Anaheim Hills Pediatric Therapy Leading Pediatric center for physical, occupational & speech therapy.

ARTICLE BY HEATHER WHITSITT

Anaheim Hills Pediatric Therapy, Inc., is the kind of place where kids want to be.

As Orange County’s leading pediatric center for physical, occupational, and speech therapy for the past six years, there’s a child-focused sense of community at Anaheim Hills that simply can’t be replicated.

“We don’t want you to just think of us as a therapy clinic to drop off your child 1-2 times a week. We are a community of support,” says Director and Physical

Therapist Emily Frevert, whose unique background has shaped her approach.

With 20 years of physical therapy experience and three of her four children having received speech and OT services, Emily is well-versed in the role of both parent and professional.

The Anaheim Hills Pediatric Therapy team is made up of wonderful therapists and administrative staff that keep the facility fun and always positive.

“I understand how lonely and difficult it can be as a mother,” says Emily, who became a single mom and moved to a new state after her children’s diagnoses.

“It is our goal and mission to work with the whole family by supporting and educating parents, offering counseling within our scope of ability, and referring them to familiar resources when needed,” she says.

Through hard work and perseverance, Emily’s children continue to flourish, and she credits them with helping her so much in return. “The clinic was formed by their hands from the very beginning.

They helped me build, paint, clean, and celebrate each year,” she says. “Without them, I never would have been able to see the need for such a valuable resource in this community.”

Emily and her staff ensure that every child, from newborn to young adult, has a happy, comfortable experience in the clinic—especially during the holidays when the clinic is decked out with festive sights and activities to keep kids engaged.

“We decorate A LOT!” says Emily. “We always have a fun scavenger hunt available for the kids to find various themed items while they’re waiting, or to use as a part of their therapy sessions,” she says. “We love using props from the seasonal celebrations to bring more meaning and relationship into our clients’ lives.”

Everyone is welcome—even Emily’s menagerie of pets, which come in to visit her young clients.

“I’ve brought in several of my chickens, a cat, a bunny, and three of my golden retrievers. Our bearded dragon, Eliza, lives at the clinic. Animals are such healers and connect our empathy to a being. Caring for the animals boosts a child’s confidence and security.”

A second company also exists within the unique space. “BUG Buddies is a 501c3

“Animals are such healers and connect our empathy to a being.

Caring for the animals boosts a child’s confidence and security.”

nonprofit that helps provide social development preschool-like classes for children that either have nowhere else to attend or are in need of a smaller teacher-child ratio (ours is 1:3),” says Emily.

Whatever adventures await, Emily’s hopes for the clinic’s future are crystal clear.

“My vision is that anyone who needs us, knows about us, whether your child has been newly diagnosed or you need answers,” she says. “In addition to individual therapy, our BUG Buddies program is available for young children with behavioral issues, medical diagnoses, and any other issues that may prevent them from joining a community preschool. We accept EVERYBODY! My goal is to be the answer to many parents’ prayers.” ahpediatric-pt-ot.com CONTINUED >

ARTICLE BY HEATHER WHITSITT

Ronald McDonald Project

St. Francis a “whole child” Education WELCOME CHILDREN OF ALL FAITHS FROM PRESCHOOL TO EIGHTH GRADE.

30

O UR TOWN | ED U CATION

The holidays are magical for many reasons. As a special season for reflecting on life’s many blessings, the students and staff of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School are committed to making a lasting impact in the Yorba Linda community.

“All are encouraged to model the school’s patron saint, St. Francis of Assisi, through their servants’ hearts. We believe it is through gratitude for our blessings and a ‘calling’ to serve that we live out our purpose,” explains Allyson Grant, Ministry Chair.

Kindness Campaign

For nearly 25 years, St. Francis of Assisi School has welcomed children of all faiths, from preschool to eighth grade. St. Francis is a tri-parish school, serving Santa Clara de Asis and St. Martin de Porres Catholic Churches in Yorba Linda, and San Antonio de Padua Catholic Church in Anaheim Hills.

St. Francis prioritizes a “whole child” educational approach, in which a child’s spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth are all equally important in developing and inspiring students. Clergy are frequently present on campus, engaging with the students and adding to the inclusive atmosphere.

“Forming well-rounded students, excited to embrace each phase of learning, remain important priorities for St. Francis staff,” says Principal Jeannette Lambert. “We consider our parents as partners and pride ourselves on this partnership to ensure each student’s individual goals are met.”

Thanks to a diverse, challenging curriculum, eighth-grade students leave St. Francis School fully prepared to flourish in high school and beyond. The majority of St. Francis graduates matriculate into top-tier high schools and universities.

A strong, close-knit bond reverberates throughout the campus, ensuring that everyone feels confident they truly belong at St. Francis—and that sentiment is one student and staff work diligently to spread throughout the greater community.

The St. Francis family works with several local charitable organizations, including Grandma’s House of Hope, Project Linus, and Ronald McDonald House.

Students and their families host a Thanksgiving Food Drive, make cards with messages of hope and encouragement for locally incarcerated individuals, and are organizing a clothing drive for youths released from juvenile hall. On campus, the schoolwide “SFA Kindness Campaign” rewards students for acts of kindness and consideration, allowing them to recognize good deeds amongst their peers.

Whenever they embark upon a new philanthropic endeavor, St. Francis students do so with the selfless spirit of giving—something they consider a privilege to share with others.

“We consider it a responsibility and blessing to respond to those in need, and we lovingly embrace opportunities for stewardship,” adds Principal Lambert. “Guided by the spirit of St. Francis, our students are inspired to use their God-given talents to make a meaningful difference in our world.”

The City Lifestyle

Giving Campaign Now in its third year, the City Lifestyle Giving Campaign will give away $300,000 this holiday season to help individual community members who would benefit from a helping hand during their time of need. But they need YOUR HELP to make it happen! Maybe you know of a single parent struggling to provide, an elderly person who has experienced loss, a child enduring a health issue, a co-worker suffering a sudden, unexpected tragedy or a neighbor with a financial hardship who has fallen between the cracks of getting assistance. Chances are you know someone with a specific need—even if nobody else does.

To preserve and protect the dignity of every recipient, the City Lifestyle Giving Campaign is completely confidential. No identities will be revealed or publicized in ANY way. (Even those who nominate others may remain anonymous if they choose.)

Last year, City Lifestyle was able to give to more than 70 recipients all over the country by sending checks in the mail through New Year’s Eve. (This year, the goal is to double that number with checks ranging in amount up to $3,000 each.)

With nominations flooding in from community members and leaders such as judges, police officers, teachers, nurses, social workers, mentors and readers like you, we were able to reach people who might otherwise go unnoticed.

“We believe in giving back and serving the communities where we live in a real and tangible way,” says Steven Schowengerdt, CEO and founder of City Lifestyle. “This Giving Campaign is all about personally impacting the lives of people we know with an unexpected check in the mail just to say that someone thought of them this holiday season.”

Together with Matthew Perry, Chief Sales Officer, Steven adds that the outpouring and gratitude from the recipients was overwhelming and affirmed that this is a tradition they want to continue.

“We believe God has blessed our company with continued success,” Matthew adds, “so we in turn want to be a blessing to others.”

City Lifestyle has also enacted an internal giving program whereby every employee in the company receives $100 to give away to someone in the community. “The idea is to encourage our employees to keep doing it on their own,” Steven says. “Taking care of one another and blessing others is so rewarding that it perpetuates a cycle of giving. It’s extremely important to me as a person and as a company to foster that culture of generosity.”
