One last request. If you have had a massage with me, and would like to rate me or send/post a referral, please feel free to do so. (You do not need to use your full name, if you'd prefer to be anonymous, you can text/message me.) I will be creating a new website in California, and would love to be able to show those "new to me" what others have to say.
Thank you all so VERY, VERY MUCH, for being part of Hands That Listen. I've been blessed to have known and worked with each and every one of you!

"To be alive in this beautiful, self-organizing universe -- to participate in the dance of life with senses to perceive it, lungs that breathe it, organs that draw nourishment from it -- is a wonder beyond words."

Touch - it's no secret that the benefits are far reaching. This is really good stuff!

April is National Autism Awareness Month, a good time for massage therapists to understand the benefits of healthy touch for clients with this condition. Alex is an affectionate, 10-year-old…

Practicing Meditation is not as hard as it seems, and the benefits can be plentiful for your health, both mental and physical.

Remember, its not just about the time you dedicate to actually practice meditation but, as Tara Brach says, the greater purpose of mindfulness meditation "is to become mindful throughout all parts of our life, so that we’re awake, present and openhearted in everything we do.” That, is where the healing comes in. ~ Peace, WLD

Here's a pretty cool article about an incredible athlete, but mostly about really cool science. When they talk about all the things he doesn't do, I do think if he HAD gotten a massage, maybe he'd run just a minute or two faster :)

Octogenarian Ed Whitlock is the oldest person to run a marathon in less than four hours. Scientists say his stamina — and disdain for training — have upended their ideas about aging.

I will be away in California in a few weeks and I just want everyone to know it's OK - The office will still be open because I hired Pretty Boy to come in. Check him out, he's pretty good and quite confident in his pain management skills. ~ WLD HTL

Good food for thought!

I’m pretty sure we can all pick out that one person who is a consistent negative n***y. The one person who we think sees the glass half empty, but who insists that they are just a hard-edged realist. For me, it is one of my long time childhood friends Sam. Things are never good enough... View Articl...

Since I work in several assisted living homes offering mini-massage and caring touch to the geriatric population which include memory care units for dementia and Alzheimer residents, this really resignates with me. I am saddened with some of the conditions these folks have to endure due to their inability to handle everyday life skills and events. Here in the U.S., this is a very vulnerable population who is often taken advantage of in all aspects, especially financially, but also with physical and medical abuse. Medications used in our geriatric population often make these conditions worse for the individual (though easier on the care givers). So this is really very awesome. I think I'd like to move in this direction. Way to go Netherlands, may we learn from you!
•Note: The centers I agree to work for, do not have any abuse and are realy trying to do the best they can to give all residents some decent quality of life. I would NOT work for one that does not do so, and I HAVE ended a contract with one or two that did not meet my comfort level of care. (I will say this, money does not necessarily buy you better care - family involvement and connections and human touch - is much more key.)

Good Article, especially for the 65 and up crowd. Lots of alternatives and foods can help keep or get you off some of these drugs.

As you age, you may be more sensitive to some medications' side effects.

This is pretty cool. Having been a volunteer for quite some time at a non-profit cancer center, I really like this message. I have seen and touched with my own eyes and hands, the power of massage and of "touch" in calming, comforting and healing.
