How Often Should I Come Back?

This is both the most frequent question I receive and the most difficult to answer. Plus, post treatment, clients are in a state of mind and body that I amusingly yet accurately refer to as stoned, and that is not the time to give a complex answer to someone you have just met.

EMF and Health

All electrical appliances, wires, and power lines produce measurable electromagnetic fields called EMF and residentially are generally associated with extremely low frequencies (ELF). Extremely low does not mean harmless, it is only a designation for the range of frequencies.

EHS - Electromagnetic HyperSensitivity

Science has already begun to understand that some people's lungs are negatively affected by ozone and develop ozone-related wheezing. We can only hope that one day science will step in and find out why some of us are negatively affected by electromagnetic fields (EMF) from all sources: from appliance plugs with extremely high and measurable EMF output to cell phone towers, the proliferation of which, without any consideration of location, is frightening.

Legitimizing "The Profession"

Because of my profession, I expect any day now to have the police at my door. At least that’s the way I feel sometimes when I tell people I’m a massage therapist and I see how they look at me!

Basic Contrast Bath for Sprains and Other Injuries

The concept behind the Contrast Bath is simply this: you are creating a pumping action that will first expel damaged tissue then flush the injured area with oxygen, nutrients and the natural chemicals the body uses to heal itself.

For athletes, it’s one of the quickest ways to get back into the action.

Acid-Alkaline Forming Foods

Opinions vary, but generally speaking you want a balance of about 60% alkaline and 40% acid in the body. More alkaline conditions may be required for weakened immune systems, or if combating cancer, as cancer cells cannot grow in an alkaline environment.

Fibromyalgia is Not a Disease

For those who live with Fibromyalgia, there is no part of their life that it does not affect: sleep, energy, movement or mood. To what degree it affects one’s life varies from person to person. Some people’s symptoms are so mild, they are not even aware they have a disorder. Other’s are so severe they can think of nothing else except their pain and misery.

Synthetic Supplement Sneakiness

“The researchers pointed out that the studies they examined only used synthetic supplements, and therefore their observations and conclusions do not apply to natural antioxidants such as those found in fruit and vegetables.”
