Three different times in the last week I was able to relieve pain that felt like a stomach ache by doing McKenize thoracic extensions (in standing and lying by hanging off a massage table). I have consistently found that some of the most simple things in life have the most profound value. I love that I can proactively do something so easy to relieve so many different kinds of symptoms in my body.

On October 26th, 2012 +John Upledger passed away. We would like to give tribute to his amazing life of sharing his profound wisdom and advancing health care in more ways than can be described. We cannot thank him enough for the transformative experience of knowing about him, learning from the +Upledger Institute, and being encouraged by him to be open to creativity on life's healing journey. Thank you for leaving us with such a big foundation to continue growing on. You are deeply loved.

Have a wonderful holiday season. Watch out! Joy and Cheer are contagious!

The standard of success in life isn't the things. It isn't the money or the stuff. It is absolutely the amount of joy that you feel.

Yoga Tip: meditation can be done in a static position but it can also been while moving. Use the principle of meditation that you know and apply them while your moving through your yoga practice. Then apply the same concept while you are moving through your day.

If you do something great there is always going to be someone who is not happy about that. However, never let that discourage you from being great anyway!

When a child has a dream and a parent says, "It's not financially feasible; you can't make a living at that; don't do it," we say to the child, run away from home... You must follow your dream. You will never be joyful if you don't. Your dream may change, but you've got to stay after your dreams. You have to.

A spinal derangement is a "distortion or displacement of a disc" according to Robin McKenzie, and is generally associated with local or peripheralizing pain symptoms. All derangements do not manifest typical spinal symptoms. Other symptoms to be considered as having a mechanical origin also may include: itching, irritability, sinus problems (including allergy like symptoms), digestive distress (gas,bloating, and abdominal cramping), sore throat, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and I'm sure the list could go on.

If you have physical symptoms that have not been relieved with with conventional or alternative treatments then you might be the perfect candidate for an evaluation by Integrative Body Therapist.

Things are getting better.

People are talking about how things in the world are getting worse. We have cleaner air and water today than we did in the 1950's. That's an amazing sign that things are miraculously getting better! =)

Love who you are.

Wherever you are, is just fine…You can get to wherever you want to be from wherever you are… It’s time to stop measuring where you are in relationship to where anybody else is. The only factor that has anything to do with you is where you are in relationship with where you want to be.
