I was receiving a Hellerwork session, the 7th
of the Hellerwork Series, and on the table decided that I would
like my life more if I were helping people feel better rather
than helping them save money on insurance. It was an odd
thought, alternative health care had never occurred to me
before, but I
considered it from every angle and decided to make the leap.
2. What do you find most exciting about
bodywork therapy?
That's easy. When my clients get
off the table with the experience of less pain, more hope, or
new awareness. The transformation feeds my spirit.
3. What is your most favourite bodywork
book?
Oh my, that's not easy. Just one? My newest
favorite book is Michael Stanborough's
Direct Myofascial Release Techniques. I purchased it last
October and haven't made it all the way through yet. There's a
lot of information! My all time favorite is probably
The Endless Web. I love to
read it and get lost in the infinite beauty and connectedness of
the body.
4. What is the most challenging
part of your work?
Detaching myself from the expectation of
specific results from my work.
5. What advise you can give to fresh
massage therapists who wish to make a career out of it?
You can do it!! Remember to ask for help,
from other practitioners, from mentors, from your friends, from
your clients. You don't have to do it all by yourself.
6. How do you see the future of massage
therapy?
Better understood as a diverse
therapy with different applications for different intentions.
More accepted and widely used. And, continually evolving as we
reach new understanding.
