Utilizing my body leverage, energy, forearm, blade of my hand,
and my feet, coupled with unique body positions, as in lying in
a spiral, I am able to access the body in ways which most modalities
that use a flat table cannot achieve. The equipment I use, besides
my physical body and special body positions, include a mat, an
arch, a posture chair, an extension and therapy balls. I use a
three-phase movement that includes penetrating and lengthening
the connective tissue with a final spiral movement that permanently
releases holding in the connective tissue.

Innate Body Intelligence
When a physical discomfort or pain is felt, I will ask you to
indicate the problem area. Often, how a person points or motions
gives added insight to how the body needs to release. Particular
attention is paid towards what the body wants, without following
a certain protocol. That means each session is unique and geared
toward your needs. Because permanent change happens at each session,
every session is viewed as the first. This helps eliminate preconceived
ideas or getting locked into a certain pattern of work.

After a Session
The changes are unique to each person and vary from session to
session. Profound changes can occur and require several days to
fully integrate. However, in most cases the integration period
takes twenty-four to forty-eight hours. During this time, various
things may happen. You may experience muscle soreness. This typically
only happens after the first or second session. Or you may feel
different emotions release like fear, anger or sadness. Some people
have increased energy and others want to sleep. Some feel freedom
from pain for the first time in years. Changes begin to occur
in the very first session and continue over the course of treatment.

Example
A young woman came in for her first session. She complained about
pain in her hip area. When she pointed to her hip, she motioned
down and away from her body. This indicated to me that her body
wanted to release in that direction. It was not a conscious movement
on her part but an indicator of the body’s’ own innate
intelligence.
I placed her in a position to get access into that area and to
work in the direction she had motioned. As I began to work, I
could feel the tissue releasing under my arm and she began to
cry from emotional release. I continued working until the tissue
quit releasing. Once I stopped, she continued to cry for several
minutes. She explained that she felt a great sense of sadness
but could not attribute it to any particular event. She then realized
the pain was gone. Note: There is no need for the body or mind
to attribute pain or sadness to a particular event for release
to be successful.
Not everyone has an outward emotional release when they let go.
Each person’s experience is different and each session will
feel different from the last. Your perception of pain and fear
will alter. You will begin to use these feelings as tools for
further growth and development.

Intention is the Key
Your body has an incredible ability to let go and heal. Whatever
your challenge is, do not give up on your desire to heal. Close
your eyes for a moment and feel what it would be like to be free
and have your desires fulfilled. What would you be doing, how
would things look and what would people be saying to you? Bring
the full and complete experience into your minds eye. Step into
the process of healing. Have a strong intention to heal. Take
the action needed and know that you can heal. You must know and
believe it is possible. The miracle of healing from any disease
or dis-ease is attainable by everyone. YOU CAN DO IT!!
