I
have been a therapeutic bodyworker for over 17 years. A graduate of
LifePath School of Massage Therapy, Peoria, Illinois, with over 1,000
hours of continuing education credits, I have been licensed in the
state of Texas since 2003. I offer a variety of modalities and
specialize in Craniosacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release and
NeuroMuscular therapy, working with infants, children, teens and adults. As my practice has changed along with the times, I am finding I am working more with expecting mothers, new
born infants children and special needs children.
People ask me how and why I choose this
profession. Nineteen years ago I was a training director for a fast paced
computer firm providing corporate training and development. I loved
teaching and helping people understand how computers could enhance their job
capabilities.However, I spent long
hours traveling and working, burning the candle at both ends. As a result, I became very unbalanced, not
really quite happy with the results of my input into others lives, and stressed
to the max!
I finally decided to use a massage therapy gift certificate I
had received. During one of my sessions I found myself examining my
purpose in life. I asked myself the question, "What do I want to do
with the rest of my life, there has to be something more..." As I
allowed the question to resonate within my body, and "soul search", I found the
answer! I knew that my body was “acting out” due to its imbalances, I
didn’t understand that giving was just as important as receiving, learning to
stop and listen to my body allowed me that "‘moment in time" to reflect on what I really wanted to do with the
rest of my moments in time.I then knew
that I wanted to help people at a deeper level in this field of work. I
wanted to help teach people how to slow down and nurture their own spirit, to
heal from the inside out, to tune into their body; emotionally mentally,
physically and spiritually. And so my journey began into my own healing,
and living the truth of what I wanted and needed to do with my own life.
I am very passionate about my profession and the quality of work that I
provide to my clients. My intentions are to guide and assist my
clients to find the right combination of therapies for their healing
process. Listen to your body it will speak to you...
