Okay! So to say that I am geeking out is a bit of an understatement. I think I found my home as a healer and coach. Integrative Manual Therapy has earned my attention and investment, while planting seeds of hope for our collective wellness.
I have witnessed the profound changes in others and myself. This truly is an integrative approach to supporting each person to reach their optimal functioning in body and mind. The fusion of western and eastern modalities come together to welcome anyone through the door, meet them where they are, and offer support to improve their present reality.
I had the interesting experience to come to class well, unwind old physical imbalances in my pelvis and spine during the first muscular skeletal class and then promptly Get in a rear end car accident on my way home! I had the great privledge to receive acute trauma care from my teachers over the phone immediately after the accident, using NFPs or neural facial placements. These holds calmed my NS and addressed my shock. I’d never tried NFPs and was amazed by the bodily releases I experienced after a few minutes in each hold.
Being the yogi, and dedicated student that I am, I observed the way the impact rippled through my tissues and was readily absorbed. I had the great fortune to be signed up for the GI course starting the next day and retuned to the school. My peers and instructors mapped my body for adhesions. You can see the seatbelt how it ruptured membranes across my abdominal area, as well as the way the impact was jammed into my wrist, arm, foot and hip. My classmates and teachers supported me back to balance as we dove into GI coursework; A whole other system, yet so deeply related.
I can’t possibly summarize the depth of content gathered in a post like this, but I hope to convey that there is more to come. MUCH more.
