"With
healing comes wisdom, from wisdom comes growth."
Are these statements
true for you:
- I experience vitality physically, mentally,
emotionally and spiritually
- I experience my body as flexible, and movements
are full and pain-free
- I have all the resources within my body to
effectively and with ease respond to stressful
situations in my life
- I recover quickly and without residual complications
from trauma
- I have clarity of thought
- I experience my life without much chaos
- I sleep well and awake refreshed and replenished
At least one of the previous statements is true
for most of us either currently or at some point
in our lives. Unfortunately, we rarely experience
all or most of these all the time. This list reflects
a level of wellness, balance and homeostasis to
which we are all entitled. As we experience life
through our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
selves, we may be challenged in ways that cause
us to forfeit even briefly some aspects of wellness,
balance and passion for life.
Over time, these imbalances can significantly
impact our quality of life, limiting our opportunity
to engage it more fully.
 As
a Rehabilitative Therapist, Sandra's
role is to restore effective communication within
an individual’s body to allow balance to
be regained. Classically trained as a massage
therapist, she has additional clinical experience
which allows her to effectively address various
systems within the body that are not communicating
and functioning well. This lack of communication
leads to a loss of “choice” to self-correct
the problem and this often results in pain. All
of our bodies are comprised of specializations
that carry out a variety of functions: digestive,
respiratory, elimination, circulatory, immunity,
muscular, skeletal, etc. Effective communication
of these specializations must be in place for
health to be achieved and maintained.
