Beyond Bodywork
Frequently I have been asked, “Emmy, why did you stop offering full body massages?” So, I thought I’d put some thoughts down to share my response to why I deepened my healing practice from full body massages. First I’d like to share why I began providing massage therapy. You may know that I am an occupational therapist. Occupational therapists assist individuals to be as functionally independent as possible with physical activities, and cognitive and psycho-social abilities in all areas of their lives. We work closely on a team with physical therapists, speech therapists, doctors, nurses and other professionals. I chose this profession so I could be a coach and cheer…

Some of the titles are “Knowing”, “Be Here Now”, “Letting Go”, and “Interconnected.” Here’s what Steven C has to say: “I went deep – read a lot of books, reflected on life A-Z and found new inspiration from simple everyday life! The result… Spiritual Piano was recorded live with a small “intenders” group. I explained the inspiration and message of each song prior to recording. Click here to read what inspired each song. The…

How do I Listen to My Intuition?
Intuition – we’ve heard the word, and know that it something that is a part of us. Most of us have had the experience of ‘knowing’ something was about to happen, or that something, someone, or some situation didn’t feel right or felt good. But, how do we listen to it? What exactly is it? Intuition is our sixth sense that may be sensed through all of our other five senses. It is our Heart, our Soul, or our Spiritual Connection directly speaking to us. It is there to protect us from harm and connect us with joy. It is beyond our rational, linear, judging mind. It can come to…

The BodyMind
More and more I am seeing mounting evidence that the body and the mind or one. From the research in Patt Lind-Kyle’s book “Heal Your Mind, Rewire Your Brain”, to Candace Pert’s books “Molecules of Emotion” and “Everything You Need to Feel Go(o)d”, to the work from Richard J. Davidson and his team at UW Madison (to name a few), research is demonstrating that we have more power than we thought (pun intended!) to have lasting positive impacts on ourselves. In fact, it seems that our minds and our bodies are in separable. So much so that Candace Pert uses the term “bodymind” to describe that they are one. Dr.…
