I am looking to rent my Flagstaff Somatic Arts massage therapy space in Dr. Jeff Alfred’s Chiropractic Office (voted #1 in Flagstaff) while I’m in school for a year. It’s a great central location and I am looking for fellow experienced/educated/skilled LMT bodyworkers to utilize the space during the week via a reasonable hourly fee, including room rental with office furniture, utilities,and booking/marketing website. I myself have 30 years professional experience specializing in Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Reflexology of which I teach at ASIS Massage Education and I also include Hanna Somatic Education/TMJ Craniopathy, Craniosacral, Prenatal massage, and Aromatherapy. I will continue to utilize the space on some weekends. Appointments are available until I leave March 20, weekends thereafter: https://SomaticArts.as.me/

Please inquire via dm if interested.
Kind regards,

No wonder in such great shape. Congrats on your 1st Grammy! 💪
I wish Pilates was more accessible financially. I loved it when I worked at the largest Pilates studio on the west coast in Mill Valley for 5 years. Pilates mat classes are accessible. I used to go to a person whom combined Feldenkrais: Awareness Through Movement with Pilates. That was an amazing class. Then I’d go to Anusura or Iyengar or Yin yoga, then the moving center school for Sweat Your Prayers and Anna Halprin once a week at The Tamalpa Institute. I couldn’t afford the teacher trainings so I’d trade bodywork to study because I was very interested. I ended up going deeper with a teacher training in Somatic Expressive Arts with Jamie McHugh, a Dharma Yoga with Tai Sheridan and certification plus internship one year with Rami Owens in Hanna Somatic Education, mostly through trade as a music accompanist and/or Bodyworker. I use all of it as an integrative therapeutic massage and Bodyworker at Flagstaff Somaric Arts inside Dr Jeff Alfred’s Chiropractic office. For appointments: https://somaticarts.as.me/schedule.php

This is why I recommend an electrolyte in the morning then water after that, especially here in AZ where we lose hydration from our skin, breathing and talking.

Great comment in the post: “Instead of just water, drinking an ORS could be more beneficial since, Electrolytes and Glucose present in it aids in passive water absorption by creating Osmotic Gradient for water across the intestinal epithelium. The mechanisms by which water is absorbed through intestine is:
Passive absorption into lateral intercellular spaces due to accumulation of solutes (Na+, Cl-) . It's this mechanism that can be enhanced by electrolytes intake!
Aquaporins: these are water channels that carry out facilitated diffusion of water from intestinal lumen into the intestinal epithelium (enterocytes) & finally into the blood stream!”

It’s really neat to hear a client say today, “I can take a breath today deeper than I can ever remember.” We have started a series so we are unwinding latent trigger points and chronic tension from the top of the head to the bottoms of the feet with integrative somatic bodywork and many therapeutic massage modalities.

Excited to be teaching manual lymphatic massage to future massage therapists for the next few days. I hope to get them lit on the benefits for their clients. A client is a breast cancer survivor presented with edema in her left hand where nodes were removed in the armpit area. By the end of the session she, with happy tears, said, “I just put my wedding ring on for the first time in 6 months.” I also taught her the technique so she could do that for herself, all done with her doctor’s recommendation.

“These findings are remarkable because they indicate that we can influence the function of the body’s immune system in a drug-free, non-invasive way,” said Walsh, who is also the Paul A. Maeder Professor of Engineering and Applied Science at SEAS and whose group is experienced in developing wearable technology for diagnosing and treating disease. “This provides great motivation for the development of external, mechanical interventions to help accelerate and improve muscle and tissue healing that have the potential to be rapidly translated to the clinic.”
