“For fast active relief, try slowing down.” ~Lily Tomlin I don’t like to rush. I don’t like to rush others either. While I detest rushing and realize all the dangers of rushing; klutzy accidents, spills, awkward moments, mistakes ugh! It just isn’t pretty. I actually do my best to create situations so I am not […]

Nothing and Everything
“Taking the time to do nothing often brings everything into perspective” – Doe Zantamata If I had seen this quote before I went on vacation I would have scoffed or just not paid attention to it. Seeing it the last night I will spend in San Diego on my vacation made it so real. We […]
Talk to your Doc
Really people, please talk to your doctor. Your Physician not only wants to know if you are receiving Massage and/or Bodywork, they need to know this. It is not a secret. It is in your best interest to talk to your doctor even before you decide to schedule an appointment. Christopher and I have had […]
Passwords
The body knows if the hands know the passwords. I have said this for many years and it remains a truth for all of us in the field of massage and bodywork. There is an almost magical moment when the person on the table realizes it. When the body acknowledges the passwords are correct. Physically […]
Relax
Just telling someone to relax doesn’t work. It seems to immediately put them in a state of trying to relax instead of being relaxed. So, I do not use that word in my practice. I may say other things to facilitate relaxing like; Breathe…Let me feel the full weight of your arm….allow yourself to let […]
A Very Rare 25th Anniversary
I am so fortunate to have experienced a great teacher. I am more fortunate that he is still in my life. I do credit my teacher, Barry Green, PhD. with much of my success. Not many Massage Therapists get to say they have been in practice for 25 years. I have been vibrantly, busy and […]
The Education of a Beaver
Twenty five years ago I started massage school. I finally decided to do this because someone very dear to me told me that if I didn’t, I would not be a pleasant person to be around in twenty years. They said if I didn’t do this now, while I was living in San Diego, I […]

Your Body is Our Business!
A client called and said she was having a problem with our online booking program. I said I would be glad to book her appointment but, I would really like to know what problem she was having so I could get it fixed. She said she couldn’t find the menu. Inner Monologue: I really do […]
Yes Virginia, there is research about Massage Ther...
Even before I married my husband and we moved to back to his hometown, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania he told me about his “Nana”, Virginia Deery. She passed away in 1991. She is still missed. She was pretty amazing. She was Head Pediatric Nurse at The Phoenixville Hospital for many years. She adored her family. And her […]
