Happy Hour discussions in Seattle

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007 | Kink Friendly, Seattle Events, healthly living | No Comments

My crew rocks!

I am still buzzing from the great conversation generated at the alt crew happy hour at the Spitfire Grill that just happened last night.
We talked about freedom in business and some great views and opinions came up. We were not short on personal stories. The talk was lively and I feel I did a most excellent job at coordinating the group’s directives.
If any of them are reading this they should definitely comment on the evening. I think it might just help us all to do that!
It was so fun. It was a surprise to get such a small group. I wonder if people didn’t come because they were intimidated by the topic of discussion?
I think it does take a bit of balls to have voice one’s opinion in an open forum of discussion, especially about freedom. › Continue reading

Deep Tissue Massage Masters are hard to find

Monday, October 22nd, 2007 | Deep Tissue, Massage, Myofascial Release, healthly living, stress | No Comments

I have had many conversations with bodyworkers and normal people alike on the subject of a good deep tissue LMP. The conversation is the same: a good deep tissue massage therapist is hard to find.
I have the good heart to be humble most of the time but I must toot my horn on this account. I am one of the very best deep tissue and myofascial release massage practitioners in this region.
It takes a bit of dedication and talent, I believe, to become a very effective, gentle yet deeply impactful deep tissue expert.
A master of this art refines their skill to give both the felt experience of “deep” muscular therapy as well as having effective depth-control and specificity skills so that they accomplish repair and re-organizing of soft tissues goals while also doing well to not leave their clients feeling bruised all over. › Continue reading

Speaking of car accidents and pain

Thursday, October 18th, 2007 | Massage, healthly living, stress | No Comments

I had a car accident on the 1st of July. It took about 2-3 months for the pain to be really bad. So now, I have to share, that I am in pain because of that accident.

I can clearly see the fault in my thinking that my accident was “not that bad” even though I have treated many people who have told this same story over and over. The pain from a car accident take time to get bad. The normal amount of time that I have seen in my practice, for people to feel the most pain post-accident has been about 2-3 months.

It’s so strange how pain works. Even for me, with years of treatment of MVA’s with my clients, I still didn’t believe how it could could so long after the fact. But there is no denying that the pain I feel today is certainly because of the accident on the 1st. This is why I have a good lawyer! So that the insurance company who represents the at-fault party will most certainly be paying for my treatment.

Chiropractors I know and love

Connecting with others can be challenging in and of itself. Connecting with others with an agenda in mind (hopefully detached from outcome) is just downright scary for a lot of people.
In the world of health care there are many different people that could be taking care of one person for the ultimately fully rounded health of the given individual. As a health care practitioner, I have to make connections with other health care providers, and that can be super-scary and even nerve-wracking. Believe it or not, I have fears about connecting with people even thought it is central to my practice.
Today I had a wonderful time connecting with a chiropractor that practices near Madison Park. Before meeting her, the only chiropractors I have trusted have been practicing for 20 + years
And they are in freekin’ Everett. › Continue reading
