Yeah, I know - that's a lot of letters after my name. Let me break it down for you. I've been a Registered Nurse and hospital-based Nurse Practitioner for over a decade, both in the US and the UK. As the years have progressed, I've begun to notice something;  culturally, we have become disconnected from our bodies. Our culture of immediacy contributes to everything from chronic pain, depression and anxiety to unexpected illnesses that can truly blindside us when we least expect it. Western medicine is the best diagnostic modality available, yet tends to look at the body through a narrow,  problem-focused lens. 

 

Instead of looking at the body one trouble-spot at a time, holistic therapies like massage, herbalism and energy work focus on the bigger picture; mitigating the effects of stress, trauma, and anything else that may be standing between your mind-body connection and  your best, most joyful life. Culturally we tend to relegate such therapies to the "do it later" pile when really, we ought to do it now. All of us. Even those of you who find these modalities all a bit too "crunchy" or  "woo-woo" (and trust me, I used to be one of you) - there is benefit here for you when you're ready.

Set the stage for yourself to feel better, and you will be better.
