Philosophy and Comments
My personal journey of rehabilitation from a serious injury has given me an understanding of how the emotional process is involved in physical recovery. Over the past 28 years I have explored many different approaches that have contributed to my knowledge of the interaction of the body and the mind to create vibrant health in a strong, functional body. For 12 years I periodically translated classes for Paul Chauffour, a French Osteopath who created Mechanical Link, a systematic approach to how eight fascial systems control the body's structure. I worked with Chi Energy with a Qigong Master from China and took courses from the Upledger Institute in Cranial-Sacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation. I have done Pilates, Egoscue, Nia, Yoga, ballroom dance and belly dancing. I have been massaged, Rolfed and Hellerworked. I have experienced and observed all these various activities and techniques in a very "Feldenkrais" way, analyzing how they affect movement and body structure. My work has matured over the years. My most recent discoveries have centered around the function of the hip joint as prime mover of the body. I am appalled to see how babies are stuck in furniture at such an early age that they do not learn to use their hips joints properly and how many elderly people need hip joint replacements. In between those ages people sit in front of computers for hours on end. My mission has become to help people learn to use their hip joints properly so that they can have a strong, fully supported skeleton with mobile, flexible bones that last until they are 100 years old. I believe this is possible, especially with the correct nutritional support. I had my first and only child at age 46 and with childbirth and breastfeeding experienced a major breakdown of the integrity of my joints. Fortunately I discovered some excellent nutritional supplements that helped me restore and rebuild those structures. I quickly became a believer in the efficacy of certain products and began recommending the ones that helped me to my clients. Many of my clients have benefited from these products which help support the body's systems in maintaining youthful vigor to an advanced age. My philosophy is that movement is the key to independence at any age. We can definitely help our bodies and our minds by monitoring what we put in them, and that's food for thought.
