✨ **The Power of Being a Beginner** ✨

2024 and 2025 have been my years of continuing education—diving headfirst into learning and growing in ways I never imagined. Just this past weekend, I completed a visceral manipulation class, learning about the incredible connection between our organs, vertebrae, and movement. It was fascinating to see how addressing the visceral can relieve pain and increase mobility.

But the biggest takeaway wasn’t just in the science—it was in a poem we discussed about **being a beginner.**

Lately, I’ve found myself a beginner in so many areas of life.
🔹 Running a nonprofit
🔹 Exploring visceral manipulation
🔹 Sending kids off to college

And through it all, I’ve realized—being a beginner isn’t about lacking skill or knowledge. It isn’t about being incapable of hard things. It isn’t even about how much effort we put in.

It’s about **attitude.**

How often do we hesitate because we fear being “new” at something? How often do we shrink back because we don’t feel like an expert? But what if, instead of fearing the beginning, we embraced it?

Being a beginner is a gift—a chance to grow, to stretch, to discover. It reminds us that **we are capable.** That **we can learn.** That **we are resilient.**

So whatever you’re starting—whether it’s a new job, a new passion, or a new season in life—embrace it. Lean into the discomfort, the unknown, the possibility.

**Keep going. Keep trying. Your attitude will shape your journey.** 💪✨

Yesterday, I had a BEST day EVER of massaging.

I had a client come in with a massive two-day headache. She missed work because of it and slept almost the entire time.

I started with my usual NMT techniques. They didn't touch it, as much as I love NMT Center—Judith DeLany—and it has helped thousands of my clients in the past.

Second I went to Barral NeuroManipulation techniques, which brought her pain down by half. Such a win. I would have been happy with that.

Third, I listened to her body through what we call General listening in Neuromanipulation and Visceral Manipulation, and I was drawn to her left abdomen. I worked a few key points I learned this past weekend at my Bisceral Manipulation class and her pain was GONE!
She texted me a few hours later to let me know her pain was still gone!

She suspected it was related to a food dye allergy.

I am so thankful to co-create with God and do his work and he has allowed us the ability to have knowledge of such things.

Yesterday I shared photos from my most recent class. Here’s what I have to say about it!

What a four day weekend. I’ve been in Minneapolis at a Visceral Manipulation 1 class. So a class to free up organs and help dysfunction return to function. I’ve waited 8 years to take this class!

The highlights are:
I realized I will never be done learning. I remember thinking early on in my career I will eventually have “ Learned Enough.”My inner critic would sometimes say, “ What are you trying to prove? Why are you always learning?” Today I know the truth is, I spend time learning because I love to learn. Knowledge is one of my charisms. I also Love to teach. Another one of my charisms. All of this is for the greater purpose of Mercy of helping others! I love to help people heal. (Yes, another charism)
I’ve always said a massage therapist is only as good as their knowledge base in anatomy and the art of massage, palplitory based. (Aka their giftedness in touch.) ( and Yes, I did make up a word., palpilatory.) This weekend I learned John-Pierre founder of the Barra Institute and Visceral Work says the same thing. ( Know your anatomy, know your anatomy know your anatomy. A massage therapists practice is only as good as their Anatomy, and ability to palpate.)
I’ve had right knee pain since the last the birth of our last child. So I’ve had it for 5 years. Yesterday I learned it was due to a ligament () that connects from the cecum of the large intestine to the right o***y. Upon my partner working on it, I now have range of motion I haven’t had in five years and far less pain! There is more work to be done and it’s moving in the right direction.
Lastly, here are some pictures to share. The instructor Dee reminded me of my dear friend Irene Wirz. She sounded exactly like her, smiled like her and was as fun and sweet as her. manipulation

Thursday, I received a phone call asking to be a last minute, fill in, Keynote speaker at an event of roughly 200 people. The event took place on Saturday. It was a dream come true. An amazing event an a hug success!

I would be leaving out the best part if I didn’t tell you on Wednesday, I had received a prompting from my God Asking me, “Lacy, if you keep saying no to speaking engagements, how am I going to help you practice and train you up?”

To which I replied, “OK Lord, I promise I will say yes the next time you ask me.”

I had no idea he had something in store for me less than 24 hours later.

Friday, I received another text, asking if I would be willing to come speak at a school.

And then, Saturday, while I was at the event, I was asked to speak at possibly two more events.

You see, none of this would have happened or been possible without my Lord clearly lightning the way.

A friend of mine once said, “God does not call the equipped he equippes the called.”

And in Encounter Ministries school, we are learning, “If you do not embrace your royal identity, then you will never embrace your royal responsibilities.”

The best part of all of this is seeing God setting Captains free! Hearing from the audience their lives have been touched, it was exactly what they needed to hear, they have a new hope.

All the Glory to God!

I absolutely love my job! I love helping people get better. Whether I'm helping release tight muscles or facial tissue, freeing up old stuck scar tissue, or doing something somatic, I enjoy it all. For them it's not just releasing stubborn pain it improves the quality of their lives.

Thank you to all who booked with me in June when I will be back in Medford for three days. I look forward to seeing you all again!

To my locals here in Minnesota, thank you as well!

I'll be in Medford massaging two days only! Private message me if you would like to book a massage. WAIT! I scheduled this post yesterday, and couldn't figure out how to delete it. 😂

anyway, the time that I will be there is already filled. However, if you are interested, you can let me know and perhaps I will come another time.

I absolutely Love massaging! It will always be a part of me! I currently just massage out of a room in my home so I only work on people I know or referrals.

When clients leave I always wonder who benefited more, me or them? It’s so delightful to hear their stories of pain relief, whether it be physical, emotional or spiritual pain. Often it's a combination!

I'm thankful to be back at massage and the new things Im learning in Encounter Ministries enhancing my craniosacral practice.
