Penny Brueggemann and Kassie Blazer are the co-owners and certified technicians of Southern Maryland Anne Penman Laser Therapy in Leonardtown.

Ms. Wathen is committed to mind/body healing and is excited about speaking on the topic, Ms. Brueggemann and Ms. Blazer said.

Southern Maryland Anne Penman Laser Therapy also has other workshops planned. A registered dietician will talk to in March about supplements. For April, a workshop with a licensed massage therapist is in the works. There are no costs to attend these workshops. Take advantage of these workshops and come out and meet new people and learn new things.

The Medically Oriented Gym also will host a free workshop from 6:30 to 7:30 pm Feb. 22.  Gwyn Novak of No Thyme to Cook will give a “Clean Eating Demo.” Please RSVP by Feb. 18 by calling 301-866-5444. Tell them Ms. Brueggemann sent you.

Ms. Brueggemann and Ms. Blazer also are committed to helping clients get back on track for healthy and happier lives through their Smoking Cessation and Weight Manager programs at the SOMD Anne Penman Laser Therapy center in Leonardtown. These are painless, drug-free laser programs focused on helping clients with smoking cessation or managing their weight. Three sessions are included in the Smoking Cessation Package, and four sessions are included for the Weight Management Package.

“The laser helps stimulate the body’s endorphins, which makes the pain from urges more manageable. You will feel very relaxed after each of your sessions,” Ms. Brueggeman said.

The laser treatment for all of the Anne Penman programs involves the application of a cold, soft laser light beam that targets specific energy points located on the hands, ears, nose, wrists, legs, and feet depending on the program. This helps stimulate your body’s endorphins to elevate your “feel good” hormone level and helps you feel better, and be more mindful (reducing the pain of cravings and offering distractions) so you make better decisions.

Southern Maryland Anne Penman, the only office in Maryland, offers free consultations to anyone interested in their programs. Call for a free consultation at 301-904-4339. The office at 22530 Washington St. in Leonardtown is open by appointment only.
