Health-Massage-Bodywork Tips

If you want to feel physically and emotionally fabulous all the time, then optimize your own human design.  The cheapest and easiest activity you can do to support your health, your human design, a daily gift to yourself, is to drink water.

The human body is ~75% water.  Our brain is said to be ~85% water.  Yet, most people intake mostly everything else but water.  Water is water.  There is no substitute.  Your body is not made up of beer, wine, fruit juices, coffee, tea, etc.  It is water that maintains your organs, i.e. skin, brain, kidneys, liver, stomach, intestines, connective tissue, and more.  Water transports energy (sugars), wastes, hormones, and other natural pharmaceuticals throughout your body.

Why deprive your body of water?  Dr. Batmanghelidj’s, known as Dr. Water, books discuss “the physiological ramifications and metabolic complications of chronic unintentional dehydration as a primary cause of many serious diseases.”  According to Dr. Water, “modern medicine has confused internal, localized droughts and treats them as disease”.

It is recommended to drink minimally half your body weight in ounces of water daily.  By doing this you can prevent, eliminate, or lessen the symptoms of:

Depression
The Flu, Colds
Food Addictions/Carvings
Brain Fog
Sleep Disorders
Heartburn
Every type of (organ & body/muscle) pain
Weight gain (probably lose excess weight, too)
Vomiting (from the flu, bulimia, morning sickness, too much alcohol, etc.)
Most common diseases today from obesity, “bad” cholesterol, osteoporosis, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and much more…

If you are not feeling well, start drinking water.  Work-up to drinking half your body weight in ounces within 2 weeks.  Complete your daily water intake by 6PM or within 4-6 hours before going to bed.  Once you maintained this habit for at least 2 weeks, see how your body feels.  You will probably be surprised and how much better you feel.

The biggest complaint I get is “I have to go to the bathroom more!”  Well, yes, it’s called human design.  Drink more, pee more; eat more, pooh more – it’s human design to take food/drink in, process it, and eliminate what’s not needed.

Be happy that you can take a break and relieve yourself of toxins and wastes verses storing it in your body.

Happy Holidays!

Acupuncture 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 has 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.

Do you identify yourself by the discomfort you are feeling lately?

Are you dependent on pain medications or considering splints and other supportive devices (like canes, shoe inserts, etc.), shots (like cortisone, steroids, etc.), and surgery?

Are you tired of chronic pain, tingling, numbness, always getting injured and experiencing stress fractures and lack of grip in your hands?

Do you want improved movement, better range of motion, and restful sleep?

If so, I can help you with the connective tissue massage-bodywork therapies I use as a part of my practice.

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 their employees.  Review My Calendar for the talks and health/wellness events 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!
