My work in the healing professions began several decades ago. Because of sporting and car accidents I searched for healing methods that would help my recovery. Polarity and Craniosacral Therapy helped my body and spirit recover. I did not start off with them because I didn't really understand what was available in the community. I took the suggestion of my piano teacher because she recommended a sports chiropractor. After two years of frequent treatments my condition began to worsen. Fortunately a friend refered me to a light touch chiropractor. After another car accident years later I tried strength training, swimming, massage with reiki, Network Chiropractic, polarity and I entered a polarity training. Over the course of three years I got better. My attorney referred me to a local pain specialist at the local orthopedic hospital and he examined me and asked me to come back in a year. When I returned he asked me what kind of treatments I had been following. You see of all the people that he had treated only two had recovered from their injuries. The doctor shared with me that he only really healped people recover from their injuries by reducing their pain but they rarely totally recovered. He said he had only see two people recover totally, one was a young student athlete and the other was me. He asked me what I had done to help and I said polarity therapy. He asked me to show him what that looks like so I got up on his treatment examination table and demonstrated on my body. He was impressed and asked me to send him some information and he did not charge me for the office visit. Following my completion of a polarity training I entered a biodynamic craniosacral therapy training and found cranial work to also be very helpful. I find that not only are these treatments helpful in keeping me healthy and strong they also help me enjoy a very expanded fulfuilling lifestyle that I consider interesting and helpful for the people in the community.
