Welcome

* This is an add- on section

Do you really want to know my secret to health ?

It is much simpler than you think. Yes, having a nutritionally sound diet, exercising, stress reduction are key. Science has now in the recent years  proven that STRESS takes a toll on the body. EMOTIONS I would say is the biggest culprit. Someone whose mind is at ease doesn't usually have health issues whether it be physical or emotional. 

Honestly speaking, in my time in this industry, there is one question that I feel will unearth whatever health issues you are tackling.....

" Who's the matter with you ? " Yes " WHO's the matter with you ?

That WHO can be your spouse, coworker, child, parent and people from the past that you haven't even seen nor spoken to in quite some time. Again the emotions that you have wrapped up in regards to these people could be causing your headaches, neck pain, back pain, leg pain, etc.

In my sessions, my clients have literally felt better just from talking about what has been a sore spot for them while I simultaneously work on them. Now is this a quick and permanent fix ? No. Because once you leave my table, said person will inevitably trigger you. So in some way, you will have to not let them affect you.  A few suggestions, Forgiveness, Letting go of the offense, Speak your truth, No longer engage with these people.

Full transparency, I don't ask, " Who's the matter with you ?" per se, I go through my usual intake questions like :

How long have you been having this issue ?

What were you doing when you felt the pain ?

During the course of a session, I am able to quickly find patterns and make connections that my clients miss or are in denial about.

A few examples : 

* Some details have been changed to protect privacy

Example 1 - A law student came to me with acute neck pain. He was driving home and somehow suddenly his neck stiffened up on his left side.

So with that information, and other cues his body had shown, I ascertained that the issue was with a female spouse or partner. Now, this was our first and only session, so I knew nothing about him. He told me he was stressed about his upcoming bar exam. I guess that was information that he was more comfortable offering. Each client is different and I have to gage how open I can be with my questioning. I didn't feel it was appropriate to ask about his marital status because of our age differential and I wanted to maintain my professionalism. Although the information that he gave me didn't quite match up with what I was picking up, he was still able to get the results that he wanted from his session. As I stated, the underlying issues are usually stress related, and once that was addressed, his body would relax and he regained a significant amount of range of motion and his pain was relieved. 

( Sidenote: I later found out that his mother in- law and sister in- law were coming into town and he was stressed about that. There goes the female energy that I felt he was worried about )

Example 2- An orthodontist came to me with complaining of chronic headaches, shoulder and neck pain. This is another case of " Who's the matter with you ?" Now in this case I did asked her a question along the lines of what had she been refusing to look at differently. She chuckled and said, " You're trouble. " Apparently, she was having issues with a friend of 40 + years stemming from differing political ideologies that were newly voiced to her ( we'll leave it at that ). She was having a hard time because essentially her friend became someone that she didn't know. We talked that out, I gave her advice and she felt amazing afterwards. She scheduled an appointment for the following week. I was pleased to learn that she no longer felt a weight on her shoulders, she stopped obsessively thinking about her now former friend AND reduced her pain medication by 80%. She has more work to do but this was a great start.

Ok, now you are acquainted some of my philosophy in regards to health.  I felt the need to give you a glimpse of how I work. This is my preferred method. You can 100% do this yourself but sometimes you need to know what questions to ask. Unless you have a great rapport with your body already, which you probably don't since you're here, you will require assistance. I'm here if you need help.

The truth is, your body will only heal to the extent that you believe that it can. For most it would look like pain alleviated, a better functioning body through an intentional relationship with it.  I really wish that I had a magic pill for you to undo all of the damage but unfortunately , I don't.  My best advice for you at this very moment is for you to accept your body as it is and to extend yourself grace. Be kind with yourself. For a great deal of you, this won't be an easy feat but in the end, you have to choose YOURSELF.

Ok, so now you've come to terms with no longer being in a 20 year old's body and that you now require repair and maintenance to stave off pain and discomfort. So now that the shift has been made, you are in the perfect condition to

Work with me and to regain control of your body, obtaining optimal efficiency, performance and health.

You no longer have to be in a body that doesn't obey your commands like a stubborn 3 year old. But sometimes you along the way have forgotten to connect to your body. It's time for you to remember that you are in control. The power is ultimately in your hands to heal your body. I've heard all of the ways you have reasoned not prioritizing your health. It seems and feels more convenient to just pop a pill or 6 to get temporary relief. You have many relationships in this life. You have a relationship with yourself, your family, your job/work/business. How is that going ? But you are here to see about your body. What is your relationship with your body ? I'm guessing, not a healthy one. Your body is feeling ignored and neglected. Your body feels last in line, last on your priority list, if it even made the list.

I've heard all of the objections. The most common are :

• I don't have time. Well, we make time for what we want. Admit it, it's just not painful enough at the moment for you to want to change. We can always make space. I like to use the example of growing your family. On paper and logically between work and other obligations, you ask yourself , " How can we possibly care for another child ?" But some way, somehow an expansion happens and it all works out. The resources just show up.
• I can't afford it. Again we spend money on what we want to spend money on. Expansion happens when you decide to add unto your life. You also have to stop looking at massage as a "luxury", something done once or twice a month on vacation. See massage as repair and maintenance, self- care.

Let's get you back in shape, finally. The great news is that you'll immediately feel results from your first session.

Perhaps you've done or experienced the following to no avail:

• Stretching only to feel restrictions at some point
• Gone to a doctor only to be recommended surgery just as freely as they would an Advil
• Gotten a prescription for strong pain killers and even steroid shots
• You've sought out other professionals, either it doesn't help or you have temporary relief
• You've even purchase ( or contemplated ) a new bed, an ergonomic chair or neck pillow
• Frustration in realizing that you are not getting better, no matter how much effort you put in

Are you ready to ? 

• Move your body with ease 
• Wake up to a pain- free body
• Recover quicker from set backs
• Learn how to prevent acceleration of break down of your body
• Feel amazing in your body
• Regain your range of motion of your neck, arms, legs, hips....
• Release back pain
• Walk with ease
• Have a new relationship and experience with your body ?
