In the beginning,

we knew  how to heal ourselves. We have forgotten, clogged ourselves with prescription drugs looking for everything from sleep to weight control. We are a pop-a-pill culture and it struck me when we returned from Australia, after five years. America was a whole new world to me. On my massage intake form, there is a section for current meds. I had to surf up most of them to realize what I was dealing with. So many anti-depressants it was astonishing. 

Australians, like Europeans, seem to lean toward a more holistic view of health. In Australia there was lots of interesting, ancient, sometimes explicable knowledge. Just like there is in all of us. 

That is what I strive to  achieve in my sessions, restore peoples sense of self, bring them back into themselves, where the real healing occurs.

Sweetening life


"Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world.
So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain."  Helen Keller

Today in 1887, Anne Sullivan arrived at the Tuscumbia, Ala., home of Captain and Mrs. Arthur H. Keller to become the teacher for their blind and deaf 6-year-old daughter, Helen.
