Stephen Jeffrey's Comments

Hey Stephen

Sounds like a nice varied approach. I am yet to try Indian head massage.

I am a Chinese Medicine practitioner and started out as a deep tissue massage therapist.

I incorporate massage into my consultations now and also use acupuncture, herbs, diet, exercise and lifestyle advice. One of the things I have found has helped me to become more successful is to broaden my horizons with respect to the knowledge I have. This gives me the ability to be able to value add in a session.

I own and run my own clinic called Evolve Natural Medicine in Brisbane Australia. I currently am building the practice to become less reliant on me and have 3 other part time practitioners working with me.

Thanks for the connection.

Regards

Jeff

 

Hi Stephen

Nice to find such an active forum.

What is your particular style of practice?

Thanks for the welcome.

I asked and didn't get a suitable answer...my jury is still out until my own research tells me it's viable.  What they use is called a "rebuilder" and it isn't an ionizer at all;  I'm told it is for stimulating the nerve endings in the feet, which makes some sense to me, since people are now walking who weren't a couple months ago.  They know lots more about neurological functions (from a chiropractic perspective) than I do at this point, so who am I to argue with them.  That said, I can't find any references to this particular "rebuilding" treatment and it disturbes me that they're being so vague about it.  Like I said, jury is still out.

Thanks :)

Hi Stephen,
Yes, New Zealand is very vulnerable to earthquakes. We mostly think of Wellington (the capital) of being the most susceptible as it is built on a fault line (that's right, our capital is on a fault line!)
If you have seen any of the footage or photos from the aftermath you will know of the devastation and loss across the city. This is the 2nd large quake to hit Christchurch in 5 months. The first was 7.1 and despite the magnitude there was no loss of life (To put this into perspective the Haiti earthquake was recorded as 7.0)
The quake on the 22nd February was 6.3 but because of the timing and shallow depth has caused far greater destruction and loss of life. There have been more than 120 shocks since Tuesday's tremor, the greatest of which was magnitude 5.7.

I know of one colleague that is missing feared dead. The tragic irony is that they had moved into a new building after the first quake last year and this building is one of the most badly damaged (CTV building, 122 people are still missing).
It's not just a local tragedy, that building I was speaking of, had an English language school with students from Japan, China and Taiwan. As Christchurch is a major travel destination many have been caught up in the resulting chaos. There was a US trade delegation in Christchurch too.
Both the best and worst of human nature comes to the surface in events such as these. There has a tremendous outpouring of help which been staggering. There are 700 search and rescue staff working in the city from Singapore, Japan, UK and USA, among others. People around the country have opened there homes for evacuees and a 10,000 strong army of students is lending a hand to name a few examples.

Hi stephen thanx for the warm welcome.

Hi Stephen, good to hear from you! I'm doing well. Are you on Facebook yet? That's where I have been spending most of my time posting bodywork stuff.

Thanks for the message.

Hi Stephen.. thanks for your welcome.. found the site while I was browsing for Contraindications for a document I have been working on, with a group of CranioSacral therapists for our UK Standards.. nice to be part of the community

Thanks!  Just found this site.  If I can help with trigger point-related questions, be happy to help.

It's so late.

Thanks Stephen!

Thanks, Stephen:)

Thanks for the welcome!

Hi Stephen.

Keeping up with the research is great - do let me know if I can assist you with that.

And, there's no need for us to see eye-to-eye on everything. I can respect anyone who is practicing to the best of their abilities and is willing to put their theories and ideas to the test. As best I can tell, that definitely describes you.

Hope to meet you one of these days. Maybe a conference will bring one of us across the pond.

Thanks Jeffrey. Hope to hear lots from you soon.

Glad to meet you too. I'm in Ontario Canada about 1/2 way between Toronto and Niagara Falls. I have owned my business for 5 1/2 years and been a Registered Massage Therapist for 4 years.
I have been busy this week with putting in 2 offers on my 4 ever home, which was not accepted. I have to play the waiting game now for now as they are not ready emotionally to sell. I'll try again in 2-3 months if it is still on the market.
In the mean time, I am about to put hardwood floors down in my 800 square feet of clinic and work at the same time. Hopefully, I will have paint and prep work done so the floors can go down the last week of October. Busy busy!
Nice to meet you! Thanks for the Welcome. Elise

Thank you looking forward to new ideas!

hello, and thank you for your welcome.

Wow, thanks for that feedback Stephen. Its always wonderful to hear how our vision is helping people in our profession connect and find things that bring vibrancy to their lives and practice. Would you consider doing a little 60 or 90 second video clip on your experience and the resulting attendance at Roberts workshop? We are considering posting some video testimonials on the site to inspire others. you could also write a short testimonial if that would be easier for you. Thanks again, have a FAB day, Melanie
