Health-Massage-Bodywork Tips

Seems like everyone I talk with lately have so much going on in their lives. Their schedules are beyond full of commitments to work, family, and fun. YES, I even encountered those exaggerated emotions of frustration, anger, tiredness, depression, forgetfulness, misunderstandings, and more. Why do we do this to ourselves? You find if you take a break and re-aligned your priorities, that you will get everything done that needs your attention. If not, it will always be there for you later, and you always have tomorrow.

What can you do to help yourself? In your schedule, block some time for yourself to ground yourself so that you are more productive and happy by:

Taking a break to eat, drink water, breathe, stretch, etc.

Exercising outdoors.

Walking barefoot on the beach, in your backyard, at a park.

Avoiding your television, radio, iPod, computer, phone for a period of time.

Listening to silence, nature, the waves, etc.

Meditating on a positive word or affirmation.

Reading your favorite book.

Sleeping.

Eating a homemade, healthy meal.

Spending time with your favorite people. Spend time with your pets!

Immersing yourself in your favorite activities.

And, of course, get a massage-bodywork session with me!

By slowing down and taking time for yourself, you’ll find that you will have more time to get things done!

If you can’t take a walk barefooted in your backyard, at the beach, etc., consider Earthed Technologies for your bed or for travel. Since using the sheet on my bed, I am more focused in my activities (including sleeping!), less hungry, and more productive. I have 2 friends who feel that their lives have changed dramatically, because they feel more rested, have bundles of energy, and even starting to build muscle mass but their workouts haven’t changed!

Great and interesting stuff! I have a sleeping pad on my bed, and I used it in my studio as a part of my massage practice. I hope you can feel as great as I do!

Me! If you are still feeling those exaggerated emotions you don’t like having, come see me for a massage-bodywork session so you can relax and give some time back to yourself! I can help you feel better and provide ideas to keep you motivated and feeling well!

To all the people who have been sending me comments about My Community Project, thank you! Keep exploring all the natural, healing possibilities “out there” and tell your military healthcare provider! In the future, we will have holistic, healing therapies/services as integral part of the military healthcare system. In the meantime, here are these alternatives:

Acupuncture and chiropractic services are now provided at the San Diego military healthcare facilities. Also, you can ask your military healthcare provider about seeing an acupuncturist/a chiropractor “outside” of the military healthcare system. Work within their guidelines/procedures in order to receive these services in the local community.

Currently, the military healthcare system does not recognized massage-bodywork services as a healing therapy. Share with your military healthcare providers the benefits you received from massage-bodywork therapies, and hopefully, eventually, massage-bodywork therapies will be incorporated into the military healthcare system like acupuncture and chiropractic services.

I have reasonable session rates for active duty, retired, veteran, and government personnel.

Do you like happy hours? If so, come see my friend, Denise, and I at our Holistic Happy Hour on Tuesday, May 19^th, from 5-8! Free food and refreshments! You can experience the therapies we offer in our practice! Please, pre-register if you want to receive any of our services. See below for all the details!

My practice focuses on stretching contracted connective tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc.) and deactivating trigger points (hyper-irritable pain spots), which allows your body to release pain and to find its natural alignment so that you can move with freedom. I specialize in several modalities from gentle to intense, but the Structural Integration 10-series will change your body to where you could potentially look trimmer, shapely and have more freedom and fulfillment within your day, your life! If you are avoiding/considering surgery, recovering from surgery, and thinking about how lessen your pain medication, call/email me for a session!

My website is very informative, so please visit to learn more about my services, session prices, and my schedule along with massage-bodywork benefits and tips for before, during, and after your sessions.

My practice is growing because of your personal referrals! Thank you for sharing the benefits you received from my services with your community of people. For referrals that you send to me, I will give you a $10 discount (for each referral who completes a session) off your next session.

Also, if you have recommendations of dentists, doctors, chiropractors, other physical/verbal therapists, small businesses, etc. in the city of San Diego, where my therapeutic services could complement their services to help facilitate the health and well-being of their clients and/or employees, please, let me know and I would be happy to contact them!

If your company is interested in establishing or maintaining a wellness department to provide pain and stress prevention to its employees for improved work performance, please, contact me. I am available to speak to your company or organization about general health and the benefits of massage-bodywork therapy.

If you have any questions about my services and would like to set up an appointment, please, call or email me. I look forward to working with you at your next appointment!
