![]() ![]() We also cover a person’s history to see what stories in the body may have a traumatic origin. When a person comes in for their first appointment, we cover the five facets of health-water intake, sleep, stress level, diet and exercise. However, in my experience I am seeing that the tide is turning and I am happy to be a leader and a pioneer when it comes to helping people take better care of themselves. My point here is that some people do not have any idea that they have any control over their healing. Mark Twain once said that it is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. We have been trained to rely on allopathic medicine to cut, drug and radiate us without a second thought as to other “alternative” less invasive therapies that actually work by treating the root cause of the symptom of the problem rather than masking it with drugs, etc. We are all self-healers, we just have not been taught to do so. I have also attended and conducted emotional clearing workshops to teach people techniques to clear the mind and body of trauma using simple techniques that are easily taught and useable immediately.Īs your therapist, I take the time that you need to educate you on ways that you can heal yourself. I have taken classes and workshops on self-help techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique which helps to clear emotional trauma from past events and returns such clients as Veterans that were hospitalized with PTSD and other disabilities that were unable to hold down a job or live in the community return to full function as productive members of society. Most recently I became certified at the Master Level in Medical Massage. I am one of only two therapists in the state of Virginia that is certified in Body Memory Recall and was personally trained by the founder of this mind/body technique. I have also studied resistance stretching with the founders of Ki-Hara, which is the modality that helped Dara Torres the Olympic swimmer win gold medals at age 42. I have been trained by students of John Barnes, the founder of Myofascial release have had training in Craniosacral therapy. Some of the reasons that I am a preferred provider when it comes to hands on body work include the fact that I am highly educated in my profession and continue to learn on a daily basis more information about the body and the mind and how they are connected. I lecture on the mind/body connection and teach people techniques to empower and enlighten themselves to live happier and healthier lives. I am a published author and communicator and these skills transfer into the way that I communicate with people in developing a plan of action to discover what their health goals are and to attain those goals. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in mass communications which includes experience in writing, radio and TV broadcasting and public speaking. I am also a certified clinical hypnotist and Life Coach which enhances the hands on mind/body work that I do. I have been practicing the art and science of massage therapy since 2002, specializing in connective tissue treatment and clearing trauma from the mind and the body.
