Glad to see more valid research on the benefits of Massage and anxiety and depression.... read more here!

Can Massage Therapy Enhance Mental Health? Massage therapy can help treat symptoms of depression and anxiety. Researchers are exploring how it can help with more mental health issues.

Case study: Coaching is a catalyzing experience and assists an individual in gaining greater understanding of where they are and where they would prefer to be in areas of their life. With permission and using no names a client came to me frustrated that he had sent 100's of resumes with very few interview opportunities. And in the few interviews he had...he felt he blew it. He felt his nerves got the best of him and he would not have the answers he needed and would go blank. In hindsight he could remember the answers after the interview. He felt if he could be more confident he could succeed in gaining employment. His goal was to move to the downtown area and would like to work there as well. He loved the city life and wanted to be in a vibrant place. He was passionate about his line of work and was a recent graduate with a degree in that field. We started with confidence and discussed the last time he felt confident in his life, we learned a lot through this line of discovery questions and a lot about growing up and bullying. He described times in his life when he was bullied and felt this belief of being less than sure of himself happened there.

Limiting beliefs are typically at the root of our perceived limitations and helping one to see the erroneous perceptions that we take on that we can take with us throughout our life. So in this case this belief was interfering with his confidence and belief in his own abilities.
Working with him to eliminate this belief we used a variety of tools, we used NLP neuro linguistic programming, discovery questions, and taught him Emotional Freedom Technique as a tool for use for nerves in the interim and before the interview.

As homework a re-vamped resume that looked less like a bankers resume and more modern and personable as the field he was entering into required that. This new resume showed his great sense of humor. ( Businesses hire people, not paper)
Within 2 weeks of sending out his new resume he was getting responses and accepted a position, that wasn't quite what he was looking for, however within a week of accepting this new position he was offered a position with a very large well known company in the downtown area he was so interested in working from. He aced multiple interviews and even mentioned he had been working with a coach.

He was hired as a paid intern and within 1 year he was hired as a regular employee. He called me recently-- a few months ago, it's been two years now. He again thanked me so profusely, he loves his company and the work he is doing. While this is gratifying, I let him know that without his persistance in overcoming and pushing through the barriers this new life wouldn't be possible.

While I do not consider myself a career coach, I saw the belief in the self was the challenge, and this is where I feel is at the root of many obstacles we all encounter. This and a resume that was a better reflection of who he is allowed him to gain what he truly desired. If you would like to have more information on coaching I offer a 30 minute complimentary consultation that allows you and I both to learn more about you and your specifics and for you to learn more about the coaching process. You can DM me here for more information.

Happy November! Yes, the weather is cooling off and Hot Stones can take the edge off the cold. Asking for this x-tra before scheduling your massage is necessary so the stones can be properly heated (it take about an hour). Many of you are wondering is it safe to have a massage...the answer is, as long as you are working with a highly conscious massage therapist, who will not take anyone in that has been sick in the past 2 weeks, has been running a temperature or who has knowingly been exposed to Covid19. I also won't take anyone who has any flu or cold symptoms, even if it's not Covid until they are symptom free. Also please note, working with a single therapist in stead of in a center allows me to schedule ample time between clients, thereby allowing a no-contact with others type of environment. Every client is booked with a solid 2 hour time span to allow for this to take place as well as proper cleaning between sessions. This also applies to my in-person coaching client's. I understand it's everyones concern and including mine. I take your health seriously. PS I wear a mask and require client's to mask up before entering the building as well as face-up on the table. Please contact me if you have any concerns, or to schedule an appointment. You can DM me here.
