The name behind Ceres and Luna
I wanted to address the name change that we will slowly begin transitioning into.
Luna Chiropractic is evolving, and with that, a slight name change to reflect that (and because the State of Secretary made me)
Though many items will stay the same, such as social media and the website, you will see the new name Ceres and Luna Holistic Spa. When I was younger, I was obsessed with Greek mythology. I read books, watched media, and immersed myself in the world of Gods and Goddesses.
The name derives from two Roman goddesses.
In Greek mythology, Ceres (also known as Demeter) was celebrated and known for the love she showed humankind during a famine. She also represents the love a mother may bear for a child and gives the gift of harvest.
I felt that agriculture and fertility were not so different as the definition of agriculture is the science of cultivating the soil, producing crops, and raising livestock. Fertility’s simple definition is the ability to produce.
Ceres is known for her motherly tendencies and a representation of motherhood as it pertains to the care and love that goes into growing your little ones.
A random fact/story about the Goddess Ceres is that her daughter was taken/tricked into staying in the underworld. In some agreement, her daughter revisits her mother in Spring and returns to the underworld in the Fall. Spring represents that return and the celebration of the cycle of rebirth.
Luna is most commonly known as the Latin name for “the moon.” The Roman Goddess Luna, (also known as the Greek Goddess Serene) is known as the mother figure of a divine nurturer.
She is the symbol of femininity renewal and is believed to connect the lunar cycle with the menstrual cycle, representing fertility. She embodies the natural ebb and flow of life.
The moon brings a calm and peaceful nature to dark times and journeys. It’s a powerful force that controls the tides, harvests, menstrual cycles, and, as we often hear, people's emotions and actions. (We’ve all heard, “It must be a full moon or something… to explain interactions with others) is hard to deny.
I felt these names were beautiful ways to keep Luna in the business and manifest some Goddess energy.
Providing accessibility for a healthy pregnancy is a top priority for us here at C&L. We look at ways to aid you in preparing the uterus, conceiving, and growing your little human. Acupuncture, Chiropractic work, and Massage can all assist in these three stages, and I wanted to bring that Ceres energy into this new version of the company.
Assisting in your journey in fertility would be an honor.
