When I first started massage school, I initially thought I’d be entering into the spa industry. However, before I was even finished with my training, I discovered that I had a therapeutic bent in my style. I took my time, paid attention to details, investigated, and geeked out on anatomy and physiology. During my advanced training, I had to do case studies in my practical work, witnessing and documenting the effects of consecutive bodywork sessions. After starting my private [...]

More times than not, people put themselves in therapy because they had a recent misadventure. A trauma of some sort or something super stressful. Surgery even. Oftentimes, they [...]

You have the best chances at nipping illness in the bud if you start taking medicine right at the onset of symptoms. You can help prevent getting sick by boosting up your immune system before or at the time of exposure.

In an ideal world,  we would all carry knowledge about how to care for our bodies. Healthfulness would be emphasized more comprehensively during our formative years.

This knowledge would be passed along to us from our tribe - our parents, grandparents, siblings, relatives, and caretakers. It would be a cultural thing. We would be brought up knowing [...]
