Riverside. Lots of snacks in this one and a few items melting in the sun. Traded out two of the six bags of corn flakes for a couple boxes of fun cereal for the kiddos. Added some protein and more canned goods and Mac and cheese to round it out a bit.

This Pantry was filled yesterday before the storm. By the next morning, despite the storm, empty. It shows us how much these pantries are needed.
We can really use help keeping these full. If anyone would like to make donations of food or other resources please let me know.
Also check out the Itty Bitty Food Pantry page for more information.

Thank you.

I wish more people talked about the fact that your body doesn't relax when it is told to. It relaxes when it feels safe.

For the body to release the tension spurred by the outside world, it must recognize it is safe from the outside world. More than half of a therapist's job is to provide setting, circumstance and care allowing the client to feel safe.

Without this, the therapist can press all the common pressure points and stimulate tissues superficial, deep or otherwise and it will not make as much difference as if they just provided a touch of safety. If sense of safety is not achieved, the client's autonomic nervous system will not switch itself from sympathetic (fight or flight) to the para-sympathetic (wine and dine). It will keep firing in the learned sequence and conditioned patterns it faces daily. Changing those patterns to those of safety is where therapeutic value and meaningful benefit begins.

For the past 27 years my focus has been on how best to serve my clients. I have discovered the first key is to build trust bond relationships that matter. To do this takes more than applying knowledge, skill and technique. It also means listening and addressing concerns; taking the time necessary for the client to let go of the outside influences of the world and help them be in the moment with grace and ease.

Safety first. Therapy follows.

No Tricks Just Treats

With Halloween right around the corner we will soon be tripping into the rest of the Holiday Season. Remember that while you are making wonderful and fun memories with loved ones that the physical and emotional work load of pulling it all together takes its toll. Don't worry I have got your back.

When you find yourself or see someone close to you in need of a recharge remember that a massage is a great way to recoup.

Be Well and Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!
