The Gift in Adversity
I am writing a book named The Gift in Adversity. The first chapter is based on my life's experiences and I hope to interview others like me who have been through tough times and come out the other side in a positive fashion. I hope to have an article published early in 2010 in a local magazine. From there, I hope to be published in a national magazine. And I will be writing the book as I go. If you or someone you know has been give "lemons" in life and made "lemonade" instead of curling up in a ball and giving up, please let me know.

I am the Voice for Choice
I've been thinking a lot about choice these days. I have even decided that my new motto is this: “I am The Voice for Choice”. I like it. It is not a new concept for me or the world, but rather one that I am currently pondering and well, choosing! Some times things happen in our lives that we have little choice about. In October of 1994, my husband and son were in an automobile accident. I received a phone call from an anonymous person who told me that my son (6 years old) was on his way, via ambulance, to the hospital where I was working in the ICU.

Benefits of Water
I am writing a book on “Spring Cleaning for Your Body: How to gently detox while continuing to live your life”. In doing research for my book, I am re-reading a book called Your body's Many Cries for Water by F. Batmanghelidj, MD. His message is simple and profound. DRINK WATER! Apparently I have been somewhat of a broken record on this subject, since one of my daughter's former gymnastics coaches once told me that when she sees me, she automatically checks in to see if she has consumed enough water that day. I absolutely love that!

The Importance of Individualized Health care by Andrew Wolfe,LMP,Mms
Health care these days is a system of managed care. Due to the volume of patients needs, health care is inundated with symptoms and complaints that exceed the limited time capacity of health care professionals. It has been my experience, that mainstream health care is overseen not by the patients' medical providers but by a larger "all-seeing eye” focused on the bottom line. It is felt within every procedure, therapy and treatment protocol; --your insurance company. Without having the direct contact or history of the patient these decisions are made.

Alte ative Options of Health
When it comes to the rehabilitation of accidents and injuries most medical providers think within the convention of physical therapy and pharmacology. When injuries occur nerve fibers in the muscle tissue tear, strain, overstretch and literally shorten. This shortening of the tissue impairs normal movement . Scar tissue forms as a natural agent of healing. Often times the scar tissue can adhere to surrounding tissue and joints creating a memory of lost function as well as structural impairment.

Energy Healing Modalities… What They Are, How They Work
Over the past several years, the growth of energy healing and the modalities available have come to the forefront of alte ative healing. We are now seeing where people that have been trained in various styles of energy healing can make changes in a person’s health with a simple touch. Now, this is not massage or any other type of touch pressure therapy. It is the laying on of hands to conduct energies to problem areas so they can work to make a person feel better.

Finding Holistic Relief for Migraines
Many people suffer from migraines. In most cases, these people take drugs to help manage the pain, and lose time from work and other activities. What other methods are available? Well, there are actually several holistic methods that can help reduce migraines which range from energy medicine to massage to meditation. Reiki is one method that can help when a migraine hits. The Reiki energy can go in and remove the migraine in a very short period of time.

Holistic Care for Chronic Pain
The number of people that suffer from chronic pain has greatly increased over the past several years. In fact, there are so many that the medical industry has created a new type of doctor, the Pain Management Physician. All too many of the patients they see suffer from some illness where the cause is not known (and there are a lot of them out there). In most cases, these physicians try to find the right balance of drugs to limit the pain that their patients feel. Unfortunately, they are limited to what they know… medication. They do not know of holistic treatments that could help.

It Truly is the Jou ey
There is a time that we sit down and decide what we want to do with our lives or this next part of our lives. In that moment, we make a decision, and we set goals. We set the ‘big’, ‘final’ goal which is the overall outcome, then we set some smaller goals which need to be met to reach that final one. Then we begin the process of meeting those goals.

Shall We Dance?
Any healing session is a dance where two people come together to become one for a while, then part. They become partners in a process, the process of healing. They work for the best results, making the most of their time together, client and therapist as one. When that happens, it is a beautiful thing.

Me Time
Today’s life has a good amount of stress. In fact, the stress levels of people have quadrupled in the last 30 years, maybe even the last 10. Computers have made things faster causing business to live or die on how quickly they can make decisions and implement them. This, of course, makes people have to react faster, work harder, and work longer.

Cold and Flu Season; Bump up your immunity with massage
Harvest is upon us again. It is a time to gather and take in the bounty of our labors. It is also a time of reflection, a time to look within and assess our needs; to take inventory and appreciate what we have. In the medical community and with the reminders in the media, we realize it is also cold and flu season, a time when we can deplete our immune system. When this happens not just the individual suffers but all those around them do also.r

Clarifying Massage Coverage and Insurance Benefits
rn It has come to my attention the need for more education about massage therapy benefits and the coverage under insurance. First, providership is essential for the practitioner, whom is qualified by credentialing and training. Second, is the need to look at the individual (patient’s) plan, provision and policy of the insured, whether it be an individual or group plan. Just because a provider is listed as preferred on your insurance plan does not mean you have benefits covering the provider’s service. Eligibility needs to be authorized prior to starting care.

Massage therapy for people with anorexia nervosa
People with eating disorders see their body as an enemy. The obsession to be thin drives men, women and children from all walks of earth to drastically cut their calorie intake to dangerous, life-threatening levels. However, for an anorexic, starving is necessary in order to achieve ‘beauty’. Often, anorexics suffer from extreme anxiety and depression and are in a constant state of distress. They think this way because one small step in the wrong direction could lead to weight gain- at least,r

How a body to body massage can help with intimacy problems
Experiencing intimacy with your partner is an essential part of the bonding process you share as a couple. Cuddling, having deep conversations, sharing secrets and making love – these are all activities that typically build up and represent closeness between the two of you. No matter where we might fall on the introvert/extrovert spectrum, intimacy is something that should come naturally to us. After all, we are very social creatures and are essentially pack animals as we prefer to live in ‘small clans’.

Massage therapy and how it can heal the victims of sexual abuse
It has been said that time heals all, but unfortunately, the same can’t be said with victims of sexual abuse. The wounds of sexual abuse never truly heal; they remain exposed always. Treatment for survivors of sexual trauma and childhood sexual abuse is an incredibly niche field, but is no less important. Sexual abuse is often one of the most damaging forms of abuse because it distorts the way we see ourselves. It is both mentally and physically crippling in more ways than most people could imagine. However, there are remedies and methods out there to sooth the wounds.
