Red, White, and Blue Friday

Hello Everyone,

I hope you're all having a good day.  The sun is shining here in Phoenix today - it's a pretty nice day here.  While at my desk working I thought I'd share about upcoming event that I'm fortunate to be a part of...Red, White, and Blue Friday.  Red, White, & Blue Friday is the day after Thanksgiving - the 27th of November this year.

Logo that I designed for the Red, White, and Blue Friday event

RWB Friday is going to be an event where Veterans can learn about and experience alternatives to mainstream medicine.  They'll be able to learn about holistic nutrition and alternative therapies, that can aid recovery from injuries on all levels.  We're hoping that this becomes an annual public service event.

Too many Veterans have been suffering from PTSD and various physical traumas, and their only option seems to be the local VA hospital or clinic, and many times a hand full of prescription medications.  Now, I'm not saying "western medicine" is bad.  What I'm offering is choice, and that some powerful healing solutions may lie outside of traditional medicine.

Plan now - the day after Thanksgiving is now Red, White, and Blue Friday

We'll be offering educational workshops about various therapies like CranioSacral, Hypnosis, Polarity, Reflexology, Reiki, Massage, Holistic Nutrition, and Herbal Remedies -- and more.  In these workshops Veterans can learn about these approaches and how these therapies may aid them on the road to recovery.

There will also be hands on therapy provided.  Holistic Therapy providers will be offering complementary short sessions to Vets - to allow them experience some of these therapies.  There will be a room of vendors as well; where contact can be made with holistic providers and vendors who will be offering products and services that may be of interest.

We're in the planning stages right now.  One of the local hypnotherapy professional groups is spearheading this effort and they're bringing others in to help as well, (like me).  I'm honored to be invited to assist with planning and carrying out this event.  There will also be refreshments, door prizes, and other giveaways.   It'll be a fun and informative day.  Vets - mark your calendars.

Folks - have a great day.  Spread a little kindness around today - not just to friends - but maybe to someone you don't know who needs it.

Peace and Love,

Tom

Massage

Hi All,

Wow - is it a beautiful day in Phoenix, AZ today.  This is why we deal with the long hot summer - because of days like today.  I hope things are going well for all of you and that you're enjoying yourself wherever you are.

I came across this little graphic on facebook recently that lists many benefits of massage.  It got me thinking about my clients that come in and return for regular massage.  The clients I see that come for massage regularly report experiencing many of these benefits in their lives.

Some of the benefits I see and hear about from my clients include - an overall feeling of relaxation; mentally and physically.  They report better sleep and muscles feeling less tense and less painful.  I see and feel the improvement in muscle tension when I work on them.

One of my favorites is better sleep.  Getting a massage or body work, helps you relax and get a good nights sleep.  It's so gratifying when I hear someone tell me they're sleeping better and feeling less tense and sore during the day.

I really enjoy what I do and like that I can help folks heal and feel better.  Check out the graphic - the list of benefits of regular massage and decide for yourself if regular massage would be of value to you.  If so - find the therapist thats right for you, that you like.  Try some different ones out - find the one that makes you feel good, and you will start seeing the benefits of massage.

If I can be of service - call, text, or email for an appointment.  If not - find a licensed massage therapist who give you the massage you like.

I hope this upcoming holiday season is the best ever for you.  Enjoy every day....don't worry about tomorrow or regrets of the past.  Enjoy this day - at work, at play...wherever you're at. 

in gratitude,

Tom

Cranial Sacral Therapy - Incredible!

Hi All,

How's things?  Things are pretty good here in Arizona.  It's cooling off a little - mornings and evenings are especially beautiful.  It's good to have a little break after a long hot summer.  

One therapy that I really enjoy helping people with, is Craniosacral Therapy.  It can provide such amazing relief for people in so many ways.  As I was thinking about the blog today, I decided to check the web and see if I could find something on this topic.

Below is a description and information about CranioSacral, that I found on the Upledger Institute's website.  Dr. Upledger was an amazing pioneer in this field and I love his book, Your Inner Physician and You.  

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics. 

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. 

Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:

Migraine Headaches Chronic Neck and Back Pain Motor-Coordination Impairments Colic Autism Central Nervous System Disorders Orthopedic Problems Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries Scoliosis Infantile Disorders Learning Disabilities Chronic Fatigue Emotional Difficulties Stress and Tension-Related Problems Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ) Neurovascular or Immune Disorders Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Post-Surgical Dysfunction What a nice little description and list of medical issues that can be helped with CranioSacral therapy.   This is a therapy that I provide in my holistic therapy practice.  It's so gentle, yet can provide such profound results.  Let me know if I can be of assistance.  I provide my therapies at prices that most everyone can afford - I don't think these kind of therapies should only be for a select few.  I also have a $10 discount for teachers and 20% off for our military Veterans.  Check out my website - listed below. Vets - if you've suffered from a traumatic brain injury, I may be able to provide some much sought after relief.  The therapy is also good for PTSD.  I've had very good results, working with people who have had head injuries and chronic headaches. Have a great day everyone.  Be good to yourself and others....
