Most people visit a massage therapist because they are in pain or they are stressed. As a registered nurse, I know disease starts with a stressed, poorly nourished body. In fact, the very word "dis-ease" becomes another concept when the hyphen is added. When we learn to handle stress, invest in some good supplementation, exercise appropriately, and adopt a diet that does not increase inflammation, our journey toward a healthy and fit body really takes a new road! We gain a new perspective on health and what it really means to us.

I offer a unique approach to pain management. My total therapy program has a high success rate in helping with even the toughest pain issues. Quantum physics tells us the basis of all life is energy, so the lack or dysfunction of energy creates dis-ease. You can see how it makes sense to treat the root of the problem. Richard Bartlett DC, ND, the founder of Matrix Energetics, believes the future of medicine is energy-based healing, and so do I. True health care reform requires a step out of the current industry of sick care, and into a whole, new perspective: a system that sees the person as the whole entity and not just a symptom.

Here are some highlights of the work I use to help you create improved health:

Massage and body work
Massage and body work help relax muscle spasms and stop the repetitive cycle of pain-spasm-pain. Body work is differentiated from massage in that it incorporates stretching, facilitated stretching, and techniques designed to influence muscle tension indirectly. I have a relaxing office setting and also offer on-site chair massage services for companies wishing to prevent worker's comp injuries, improve morale, and reduce sick time. I work collaboratively with physicians, chiropractors, energy healers, acupuncturists, and naturopaths.

Nutrition and supplementation
The body needs proper nutrition and rest to heal day-to-day micro-injuries and stress; what is called "wear and tear". Most people take better care of their cars than they do their bodies. A diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrates adds to the inflammation aspect of the problem. When the body is under stress, we need more vitamins and minerals to aid healing. Supplements, increasing your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably organic, and avoiding refined carbohydrates, fast food, and red meat are all ways to reduce pain and inflammation.

Investing in a good daily supplement regimen is extremely important. I have found a company that takes their products to another level of safety. Neways International avoids over 2600 controversial ingredients that you can learn more about by clicking the "controversial additives" and "every day toxins" tabs above. They triple test all ingredients, avoid animal products in all except the two fish oil products, and manufacture and distribute all their products from their facility in Springville, Utah. This is an exceptional level of quality control. Learn more here.

Exercise
Appropriate, regular exercise is also essential for pain management. Exactly what is right for you should be outlined by your doctor. However, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of gentle stretching and movement several times a day, especially if you have a sedentary job or one that requires repetitive motion. I can refer you to a number of local fitness owners in the Prescott Valley area who provide various levels of activity based on your goals and abilities. For those up to a challenge, I recommend Crossfit. Check out the Crossfit affiliate near you here.

Detoxification
I go into this in great detail in the area above at the "detoxification" tab, but I believe we all need some help in reducing the load of toxins accumulated over time. The ionic footbath, certain products I recommend, manual lymph drainage, infrared sauna, epsom salts soaks, even remembering to deep breathe regularly are all important to help the body rid itself of environmental and emotional toxins.

Flower Essences
Flower essences do not have fragrance, and are not like essential oils. These are closer to a homeopathic remedy meant to address the emotional aspects of dis-ease. We can determine which essences suit you best, make a bottle for you, and re-assess in a week or two. This is a very gentle and low cost, but effective way to rid yourself of unwanted emotional imbalances.

Guided Imagery
You can learn more by clicking on the "guided imagery" tab above. Imagery is used by successful business people, sports figures, psychologists, healers, and coaches. I love imagery and the way it helps people find the root of their problems.

Energy Work
We are made of energy. Quantum physics tells us all matter is made of light and information. Electrons appear as particles ONLY when observed- otherwise they are waves of possibilities. When we observe something and label it, we collapse that waveform into reality. Our brains and eyes are in collusion to bring us exactly what we expect to see. Have you ever sworn an object was not where you looked, only to find it there a few minutes later? We see what we expect to see. Start expecting different things and you will get different things. This is at the basis of the power of intention. People always get what they want, they just are often not clear about what they want. Matrix Energetics helps you get clear. I also use Healing Touch in my work. Sometimes the solution to a problem is just bringing attention to it and asking for another option.
