Please read the linked post! I have always dreamed of moving my family to Hawaii for 3 months to learn Lomi Lomi massage and bring it back to Fort McMurray to share with my community and my clients. This Lomi Lomi training is coming to Edmonton in June!!

I’m sure you’ve all been watching with heartbreaking sadness the devastating fires in and around Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. And now, just when people thought they could be going back to their homes in a few weeks, the fires flared up again! What do we do when tens of thousands of people are hur...

Dear massage enthusiasts, most of you are affected by the evacuation of our beloved city. I hope you can find 5 minutes everyday or 30 minutes each week to do something to take care of yourself, to rejuvenate and carry on. Remember you may still have employer health benefits for massage and other self-care treatments. I am thinking of a new pair of glasses covered under my health plan. Reach out and connect with people, talk about what you are feeling. These are such difficult times but we WILL get through this together! I will see you when we get home.

My heart cries out for anyone that feels they need to avoid massage. There are a huge variety of reasons why a person may feel that way. Please feel free to ask me all the tough questions about massage and I will try to answer as best as I can.

This link takes you to a page full of guided meditations! If you have 3 minutes you can listen to one and get an idea of what guided meditation is like. Guided meditation can help you be mindful of yourself. It can help you find areas of your body that carry tension and release it. It can help you feel less pain, for example ease a headache. Some longer guided meditations will actually take you on a journey into your mind to help you develop tools for coping with stress and emotions. How cool is it that there is a Mindful Awareness Reasearch Center at UCLA? http://marc.ucla.edu/body.cfm?id=22
