why & how?
Most of my life I wished to be a nurse, life came first, as it was supposed to. Throughout the years I was learning, realizing, searching for something a little different. I stepped back often to assess why I felt so distant when hearing health information.
My brother had this habit of breaking bones from and early age - they say he was an accident waiting to happen - he sure was and he became a tangled mess inside, falling off 42' ladders, horse carts to roofs of barns. He had become so engulfed in searching for pain relief and NOTHING was working until one day he surrendered to Myofascial Release - developed by John Barnes an intense 3-week program. We spoke nightly, he had many messages for me, this particular night he was ELATED, he had just run 1 mile, something he had strived to do for many years.
I was hooked on learning more about this. I watched for a few years, he became a trainer for Therapy on the Rocks and a massage practitioner.
He introduced me to MFR (myofascial release) at a place called “Guided Motion”. My brothers practice was "Inspirational Therapy."
I know now I was supposed to be a Massage Practitioner, working closely with my brother’s guidance. Then it happened, my brother had a heart attack the night before I was supposed to begin massage school. My future felt destroyed. One thing he had instilled in me was confidence, I was just used to hearing it from him, now I am on my own, searching for that inner strength and wisdom to move forward, to pursue my dream. I postponed school for a month and the journey began and here I am 15 years later.
Inspired by all of those on my journey
Guided by God
I am here to put it all into Motion!
It is never too late to begin or redirect your journey – I AM PROOF!
I recently realized why I choose to use clean, toxic free products in my sessions. In the last 12 months I have been using lotions and cleaning products in a part time position and have been fighting the clean up all year. GOD spoke to me one day as I meditated on my circumstance of falling again below the wellness line.
I am grateful I am able to listen within to find answer to my longevity, and most grateful I decided very early in my massage career I would only use products on my clients that I would use on me, after all I receive the benefits of clean, toxin free products as I apply them.
