This can be from the everyday stresses and strains of job related posture, disk injury and/or degeneration, auto-immune disorder, and scar tissue. I also specialize in Women's Health. I have experience working with women who are trying to become pregnant, are pregnant, or have pain related to birth and/or caring for an infant. I am also an approved CEU provider for the state of DE for Prenatal Mas
sage. I teach other massage therapists how to safely and effectively help pregnant women. As a Massage Therapist, I felt as if I wasn't fully helping my clients. They would come to me with low back pain, knee pain, etc and I would help them with soft tissue work. Many of them had been in pain for a long time before seeing me. Also many of them had been on a long term regimen of medications including narcotic pain relievers and steroids. Being in pain for years and taking medications makes it difficult to exercise and most of them had gained weight that they couldn't lose. This extra weight puts pressure on the joints that are already in pain, and they cycle continues. This is when I decided to certify as a Health Coach. As a Certified Health Coach, I am able to safely and effectively help my clients make the dietary and lifestyle changes necessary for them to loose weight, increase their energy level and to simply just feel better. They were able to lose 2-5 lbs the first week and 1-2 lbs each additional week. This is accomplished without any exercise for the first 3 weeks! Now my clients are truly improving their health. My goal is to help each of my clients learn the Habits of Health so that they too can live in Optimal Health- Pain Free!
