Say "No" to Prescriptions and Say "Yes" to Massage

There are many reasons why people get massages. Some people do it so they can relax, others have sore tight muscles they need released; however, are you aware of all the potential benefits of a massage? Probably not.

There are so many different fields of massage. I choose to go to a school that does different types of modalities so when you are done you are considered a Wholisitic Practitioner. I am trained in acupressure, reflexology, psychosomatic, and aromatherapy. Through all this training I can treat a variety of illness that you would otherwise go to a doctor for and get a prescription. It is better to let the body heal and release the energy, good or bad, than to ignore it by using drugs that mask the symptoms.

In our society we look at mental illness, for instance, as a negative thing. I look at depression as communication from your brain. It is a connection between our thoughts that become our emotions that are translated through out the body. When a person becomes depressed there is more physically wrong with the person than "feeling sad". A person may have digestive issues, headaches, lethargy, a lack of desire, decreased or increased appetite, etc. The point is, it is a message that our brain is sending to the rest of our body to become aware. To look inside ourselves. Instead of taking some magical pill that will mask your problems, we should be looking deeper into our past, present, even our future. What is causing this disturbance in my body?

When we start to question the reason why our bodies hurt is when real healing can begin. Different emotions are stored in different areas of our bodies. I am trained to determine which emotions are stored where and how to decipher the meaning. I can massage your body and make it feel better for the time being but to really heal means you have to come in touch with these emotion. You have to release that emotion. This can happen in different ways. Some people cry, some people laugh, it is different for different emotions and for different people. So the next time you have an upset stomach, anxiety, pain in your body realize that your brain is trying to communicate something. Instead of going to your doctor so he can tell you to just take this and you'll feel better; contact your local health providers that will help you heal your emotions so you are not dependent on a prescription for the rest of your life.
