“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 […]

What’s it Worth?
What could you do if you didn’t have a headache? How would you feel if your headache was gone? How wonderful would it be to be able to go to bed at a decent hour and sleep all night without a headache? How would you feel if your shoulders and neck were not tight? Did […]
What does travel do to you?
Travel is glamorous only in retrospect. ~Paul Theroux We are getting ready for a trip. I realize as much as I am looking forward to it and am also already dreading it. All those little things I forget to do and/or leave to the last minute. All the potential things that could go wrong start […]
