Cancer Sucks!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I wish every month was every cancer and pathology awareness month. Face it Cancer Sucks! I am glad my husband and I spent so much time and money getting trained in Lymphatic Drainage, Chronic Pain and Myofascial Release. We are honored to work with all Cancer Patients and Cancer […]
Busting the Astroturf Ceiling VII: There’s No Cryi
Another myth busted. I managed to see so many college athletes over the years graduate, go to the pros, not get to go to the pros, play overseas, end their careers, start new careers, move all over, get married, have families and managed to hide those little sniffles and tears of joy and sadness because […]
No Rushing
“For fast active relief, try slowing down.” ~Lily Tomlin I don’t like to rush. I don’t like to rush others either. While I detest rushing and realize all the dangers of rushing; klutzy accidents, spills, awkward moments, mistakes ugh! It just isn’t pretty. I actually do my best to create situations so I am not […]
Nothing and Everything
“Taking the time to do nothing often brings everything into perspective” – Doe Zantamata If I had seen this quote before I went on vacation I would have scoffed or just not paid attention to it. Seeing it the last night I will spend in San Diego on my vacation made it so real. We […]

The body knows if the hands know the passwords. I have said this for many years and it remains a truth for all of us in the field of massage and bodywork. There is an almost magical moment when the person on the table realizes it. When the body acknowledges the passwords are correct. Physically […]
Relax
Just telling someone to relax doesn’t work. It seems to immediately put them in a state of trying to relax instead of being relaxed. So, I do not use that word in my practice. I may say other things to facilitate relaxing like; Breathe…Let me feel the full weight of your arm….allow yourself to let […]
A Very Rare 25th Anniversary
I am so fortunate to have experienced a great teacher. I am more fortunate that he is still in my life. I do credit my teacher, Barry Green, PhD. with much of my success. Not many Massage Therapists get to say they have been in practice for 25 years. I have been vibrantly, busy and […]
Walking on Stones
I know I could get out of blogging tonight. I know everyone would forgive me. I realize there are no blogging police. No one would blame me because I am on vacation. I have been spending time with my husband and dear friends I haven’t seen in a long time. I have been making me […]
