May 2010 – Health-Massage-Bodywork Tips E-Newsletter

Health-Massage-Bodywork Tips

Say what?!
Intuitively we know fast foods are generally not good for us. Studies have reported increased risks of developing cancer when eating well-done, fried, and barbeque foods. Hence, what is the intention of this new partnership between Kentucky Fried Chicken and Susan G. Komen for the Cure?

Do you actually believe these profit-seeking organizations really want you to be healthy and vibrant? As for Komen for Cure foundation, it again proves that they are oblivious to the role of diet in cancer prevention. Kentucky Fried Chicken is looking for avenues to “look good” from all its bad publicity in the recent past from the unhealthiness of its food to the cruelty of animals that they serve at their restaurants.

Activism for what you believe is right…
Lately, I have not been donating monies for foundations researching “the cure” for the common diseases of today. As more drugs and surgeries are being created and given to patients to minimize the effects of diseases (verses educating on the causes of diseases), more diseases are being formed along with more fundraising foundations. It seems like a vicious profit-making cycle.

I believe the cure is already available now that addresses the causes of diseases, and they are at your fingertips: Drinking minimally half your bodyweight in ounces of water daily. Eating nutritious foods. Getting plenty of rest. Exercise. Having positive communications and relationships with colleagues at work, friends, and family. Minimizing stress.

There are oodles of resources on the internet and at your library to help you get to and maintain your optimal (body-mind-spirit) health instead of supporting organizations and your “healthcare” physicians who want you sick.

Think about where, how, and on what items you are spending your money. Does it make you feel good? When you spend your money, you are “voting” and deciding on what is good for you and your community.

For All Military

salute-to-us-flag_fullAcupuncture and chiropractic services are now provided at the San Diego military healthcare facilities and “outside” of the military healthcare system. Work within their guidelines/procedures in order to receive these services in the local community.

Be daring and ask your military healthcare provider about seeing a massage-bodywork practitioner in your area if you are experiencing chronic pain, considering or recovering from surgery, healing from injury, or wanting to add another harmonizing therapy to improve your current health situation (a great complement to yoga, talk therapy, etc.).

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 healthcare system and hospitals like acupuncture and chiropractic services.

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

Information about My Practice

Do you identify yourself by the pain you are constantly feeling? Is your doctor wanting you to take pain pills and even having you consider surgery? If so, consider therapeutic, medicinal massage-bodywork therapies to help you get rid of pain and avoid unnecessary surgery!

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.

I would like to partner with other health practitioners (orthopedic surgeons, dentists, doctors, chiropractors, counselors/therapists, coaches), health facilities (gyms, exercise studios (karate, yoga, dance)), and small businesses in the city of San Diego. My practice does complement these services to bring about more health and well-being to people. If you have any recommendations, please connect us by sending them my e-newsletters and contact information, OR I would be happy to contact them directly!

I can provide demonstrations and classes about health and massage-bodywork to businesses and its employees. Review My Calendar for what talks I’ve completed in the past in the San Diego community.

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!
