Self Massage

My Personal Story from a Self-Massage Perspective

As a child, I experienced many injuries that I now believe helped me awaken natural instincts for self-healing. Two years before any hint of my career in 1981, unable to fall asleep because of belly discomfort. I placed my palm over to move it straight out my navel and since then, I have heard similar experiences from a few other people. When your peace is disturbed “A trusted intuition is an invitation to spark your imagination to self-heal”.

Early on, I applied fingertip pressure in direct support of using reflexology to identify and relieve inflammation and pain. This practice deepened my connection with the nervous system. Inspired by sight-impaired Asian therapists, I naturally found myself working in dim light to eventually, welcomed by regular clientele to totally relax in darkness! This was the best training ever to enhance trust and sensitivity.

Years of self-massage developed my understanding of healing the autonomic nervous system. I now experience a symbiotic exchange of body intelligence with clients, fostering mutual awareness and healing.

Reflexology and acupressure have strengthened my faith in the body’s ability to shift from weakened to balanced immune states, improving lymphatic function and overall healing. These simple techniques have been shared to help others with ailments from sore throats to mental exhaustion and headaches, empowering self-healing.

Managing My Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Years of hand and finger pressing caused nerve discomfort. I discovered unique points to feel instant relief with my intuited concept of patterns developing Reflex Symmetry™ cranial tenderness—points not found in standard reflexology charts.

I maintain regular preventive measures when symptoms arise.
