As a travel destination, Litchfield County strikes all the right notes. It’s sophisticated and easy-going. Outdoorsy and cultural. There are restaurants and cafes, art galleries and boutiques, cute villages to explore, farms and vineyards to visit, glorious hiking trails, watersports, and cycling routes. The only kink in the works? For years, the area has been hampered by its lack of overnight accommodations, especially during the high season. That’s about to change. This summer the region will welcome a number of new—and newly renovated—properties, a win-win for visitors and residents alike. “It’s wonderful to see all these new hotels,” says Stephen Brighenti, a hospitality industry veteran and owner of POSH Pads luxury home rentals. “It’s a phenomenal story of change that’s 30 years in the making.”

When Dr. Tamara Sachs examines a patient in her New Milford office, she looks beyond recognizing and treating the symptoms of their condition. Think of her more like a detective bent on tracking down clues to the root cause of the patient’s illness to determine the best path toward healing. Sachs began practicing in New Milford more than 30 years ago after working for several years as an emergency room physician in New Haven. For a decade she was a primary care doctor in New Milford. In 1998, her focus shifted from conventional medicine toward functional medicine, a model that offers a more individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach, allowing patients and practitioners to collaborate in addressing the underlying causes of disease and promoting optimal wellness.

For Dr. Myles Altorelli, a low-risk high-reward approach to medicine is ideal and hands-on treatments cannot be replaced. It’s why he pursued a career in chiropractic care, establishing his practice almost a decade ago. At Altorelli Chiropractic & Med Spa in New Preston, traditional chiropractic practice is complemented by functional muscle and myofascial therapies. The value of such holistic care has been solidified especially in the past 20 years, Altorelli reflects, due to patient preferences, successful outcomes, and clinical expertise combined with science-based evidence. “It is widely accepted because it is the least aggressive approach first,” he explains. “We are looking to find the cause and fix it, not just silence symptoms.”

“You’ve got this!” our instructor Victoria Mazzarelli cajoled us as we readied ourselves to dance across the studio. Everyone in this Sunday morning adult ballet class at The Nutmeg Ballet Conservatory in Torrington was up for the challenge regardless of their experience, age, or ability—which came as a relief to someone who had never taken a dance class before. Despite our differences, we all shared a common desire to make ballet a part of our lives and an appreciation for its health benefits.

Nothing lifts the spirits quite like an outing through a forest, except perhaps being accompanied by a herd of adorable goats. Such a charming and unforgettable experience is possible in Washington Depot, courtesy of Got Your Goat, LLC, whose motto is “Our Goats Spread Joy.” “They really do,” says owner and caregiver Kristen Gill. “Goats are naturally playful and inquisitive creatures. They love to follow the leader and stick together, which makes them ideal hiking companions, especially for children.”
The farm is hosting three egg hunts on March 24, March 29, and March 30!
