One thing I found, as a more seasoned therapist, is that over the years, schools were not teaching good foot work, if at all. I would ask for structural and/or reflex foot work and receive a short bit of rubbing. In my school I did vow to correct that, and better yet, in my own practice I do offer quality foot work.

It makes a huge difference in overall stance, nervous system, self care to pursue this. A 90 min session allows a nice stretch of time to add foot care in.

Additionally, FOOT REJUVENATION, as I created it is a series of bodywork sessions to help clients avoid unnecessary surgeries, pain, and orthotics that do not really correct underlying issues. It is entirely possible to heal/correct long standing foot issues, from plantar fascia conditions to other painful medical conditions- while I teach lifelong home practices to keep the feet in restored form.

Very warm and cozy massage table and room ready to be set up for a comfortable side lying session. This week I've helped clients with ITB tension, foot structural issues, prenatal massage addressing breathing and shoulder tension,
Liver/ Gallbladder castor oil pack and abdominal massage as adjunct for gallstone resolution, sleep improvement, and Facial/Scalp acupoint tonification.

I get questions frequently about resolution for TMJ restriction. It can be a painful condition, and interfere with our ability to eat/chew, and appetite! Massage and bodywork therapies can help, but even better, in combination with a local castor oil pack , some heat, and if open to it, some nervous system herbs. The pattern is beyond physical, and into emotional and stress realms. In even one or two bodywork sessions, I can guide clients to do some self care practices at home.

A glimpse into peaceful session room on a cold winter January morning. Cold outside, inside is quite delightful. Taking a slow Sunday to sort through books - So Many! Some will be offered for sale, some for reference by topic (HERBAL, NATUROPATHY, BODYWORK, ENERGY MEDICINE) ; many more the keepers! collect books! They 1000% beat out digital and the dreaded AI ( awful intelligent- less).. mark my words, books are super important. This includes recipe books, food science, anatomy, survival, wilderness first aid, gardening, pet care and more
