Essential Connections Massage Therapy

With bruised ribs I am seeing a Chiropractor??

TRUST
A recent injury brought me to my chiropractor. My ribs are bruised and I’m in pain. As Dr.Michelle worked with me, it occurred to me that I trusted her completely. Why? Because I had already developed a relationship with her. I knew her skills and her compassion in providing exceptional care. Thankfully…I am healing well in no small part to the care from Dr. Michelle Carruthers.
My message is this: Build relationships with naturopaths, osteopaths, Craniosacral therapist and massage therapist like myself. In case you are ever in a health crisis you can rest on the trusting relationship you’ve created.

Clivia in bloom. Despite the storms, spring starts in deep recesses we can’t see or feel.

I first heard about the Friendship Bench project in my daily devotional, Our Daily Bread. A friendship bench is a place to be heard, to share your concerns and to feel that someone cares.
There is no cost or obligation. In a world that is hurting, we need something like this more than ever.
Since starting this initiative many have supported the idea. Simone Usselman-Tod, Danielle JoworskiCathy GagliardiDonna StaresCarolin Roots Please let me know if there are preferred times or it there is some way I can improve access to Joy's Friendship Bench.
