Our body is so brilliant and is naturally wired to heal itself. We get new skin every month and new stomach lining every five days. Basically, 98% of the body is replaced every year. In less than four years the entire body is replaced down to each atom.
As a medical practitioner since 1975, I began integrating complimentary healing since 1978. My approach synthesizes the two modalities of Jin shin Jyutsu and Somatic Experiencing. Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient healing art using therapeutic touch. Somatic experiencing is a verbal trauma therapy working through awareness of body sensations. Both therapies integrate the mind/body relationship. In 2020, I became certified in working with the Safe Sound Protocol.” SSP was created by Dr. Steven Porges, which uses vocal sounds to help in the reduction of stress and anxiety.
We have all experienced the effects of the mind/body connection. Maybe it was the first time you stood in front of class, your face turning red, blushing because someone embarrassed you. Maybe your hands were sweating and your stomach aching before going to your first interview. Or maybe feeling your heart pounding during a scary movie. And then there are those special moments, when we smell a particular fragrance, and a vivid memory comes to mind. Or you hear a song and tears swell up or are able to calm down after receiving a warm loving hug. These are all tangible expressions of the mind/body relationship.
Studies show that thoughts transform into chemicals that are released into the body. Literally, our thoughts affect each cell. The body acts as a whole system with each cell from each organ “thinking” like the initial brain cells. This system sends messages through out the body telling us how we feel. For example, when we say, “I am thirsty”, all of our organs simultaneously are saying this. This is reflected in our daily language, when we say, “I have a gut feeling”, “I cannot digest this idea,” “or my heart is sad.” I target this cellular level of consciousness with my healing approach.
Through the two modalities I work with both the mind and body receive relief of stress and pain. The aliment can be a chronic or an acute condition. I often make the analogy that H20 is water, and it is also ice, snow, sleet, and vapor. This is the same with the mental, emotional and physical aspects of ourselves. They are all similar but manifest differently. During my treatment session, I focus on both the physical and mental/emotional. The client wears clothes and can direct the session as to their level of comfort. If indicated, I will also use the vocal sounds of the SSP for a part of the session. This involves head phones and the use of an an MP3, smart phone or computer.
I treat PTSD, cardiac issues, trauma, abuse, pain, stress management, insomnia, depression, anxiety, ibs, digestive disorders, side effects from chemotherapy and radiation, arthritis, impaired immunity, fibromyalgia, and more.
I believe in the importance of empowering people to help themselves in their daily lives. My treatment approach has important self-help components to empower you. Self-awareness is increased, and stress release increased to mitigate aliments. These tools of wellbeing are profound in their healing abilities. They are simple in their application and can be used with oneself, with one’s children or with other adults. Just as we needed to learn how to brush our teeth daily between dentist visits, we also need to learn to care for our wellbeing. I see people privately, as well as teach self-help to care givers. I look forward to meeting with you.
