Welcome to my blog! 

As a massage therapist for over 20 years, I have worked on many feet. And I know that some of my clients suffer from toenail fungus, a stubborn condition that causes tough, yellow nails. Over the years, I have seen friends, family, and clients struggle with this issue, because it is rather persisten...

If you are feeling overwhelmed, ungrounded, nervous, afraid, or if you're having physical symptoms in the lower spine, hips, and/or lower extremities, I'd like to make a suggestion. In addition to the things you might usually do to soothe these symptoms, try Sound Healing.

I love to put on thi...

Come on down to New Leaf Market Co-op in Tallahassee, Florida where, from July 2nd to July 31st, my art will be featured in the dining area.  I've got  a series of nature inspired acrylic paintings that I've been creating.

I’m excited to tell you that I am learning Mayan Abdominal Massage, an ancient traditional technique that releases congestion of circulation in the abdomen, lower back, diaphragm, hip, and sacral areas.  It’s fairly simple, yet really powerful.  Remember, we are about 75% water, so circulation is ...

Working with plants and landscapes, a person may do some pruning. When pruning, I notice, it is necessary for me to have some faith that the plants will grow back and fill in. They look so bare, and not so alive when I first cut them back, especially if I cut them back by much. It often reminds me t...

Apparently, the Japanese did. Barefoot Shiatsu is a form of massage that works with the flow of energy through your body along lines called meridians (the same ones as in Chinese acupuncture). The energy flows through your body, supporting the various systems. If the energy gets blocked (think of it...

When I was in college, I loved pizza. I worked at a delivery restaurant and ate pizza every time I worked, maybe 5 times per week. I drank multiple cans of highly sugary and caffienated soda during every shift. Sometimes I ate a whole pint of ice cream for dinner, maybe once per week. I loved sweets...

Back in the 1990’s, I was finished with college, had a BA from UCF in Anthropology, and worked at a restaurant. One of my coworkers told me how proud he was of his girlfriend, who was graduating from massage therapy school. I asked if it was like physical therapy, and he explained that it was k...

Do you remember the song that starts with, “Sing, sing a song”? One of the lyrics is “Don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing, sing a song…”  This song comes to mind today after a good friend and I were talking, and catching up on our lives. I shared about recently a...

Reiki is an ancient Japanese, hand's-on healing technique where, essentially, the practitioner acts as an efficient conduit to the Universal flow of healing energy, sending it into your energy field and body for your healing.  We all know how soothing the human touch can be.  We all have healing abi...

Local friends, mark your calendars. I will be teaching a free seminar at New Leaf Market Co-op November 18, 2014, 7:45pm to 8:45pm. I will teach you my recipe for a very life-giving kale salad. As I demonstrate it, I will describe the healing benefits of the various ingredients and share tips on pee...

I have to be honest with you. When October comes, I don’t wear pink clothes or ribbons or even like to see the “pink-washing”, as some people call it today. I have doubts, huge doubts, that this pink campaign does anything to help prevent or cure breast cancer.

Yes, if you get a mammogram, or therm...
