A healing space is a place where knowledge is power. Skilled massage therapists know that people who are in pain or experiencing too much stress often stay that way due to a lack of education concerning their own body. Those around them may not understand what they are going through physiologically either and, sadly in some cases, don't want to hear about it.This can lead the sufferer to dissociate from their pain and live silently with dysfunction to the point of developing chronic states. Anyone in this kind of situation not only needs validation but to be given hope, information and empowerment toward their own wellness.

Kathy couldn't figure out the cause of her frequent neck pain and headaches. When we went into her history during her intake assessment, she revealed that 6 years ago she was rear-ended in a motor vehicle accident.
