As a first class public speaker my signature talk is entitled, How Pain Tells a Story. During our time together I explain with stories and research the bio-psycho-social causes of pain.It's fascinating that scientists are proving mental and emotional stressors contribute to our physical pain. It is my privilege to share with audiences large and small, a new tool for the toolbox for healthcare providers: how to understand the story pain is telling using the Body Blueprint.What is the Body Blueprint?! Glad you asked. Using qualitative research, evidenced based science and the writings of authors thruout history, we have clearly identified the mental and emotional stress related to many different body parts. The Body Blueprint gives us a clue as to the root of the pain. Once understanding this additional piece of the puzzle, clients heal from chronic pain from the inside out, as well as the outside in. As a Board Certified Licensed Massage Therapist I practice massage part time, mostly in New Hampshire, Florida and the Commonwealth of Virginia. My practice began in 1994 and, at this writing, I estimate that I have worked on over 20,000 clients.
