Yep. I'm driven to live a full life =D I'm looking forward to hearing more opinions about massage and Dystonia. I think I'm going to enjoy the constant education that this site has to offer. Thanks for reaching out =D

hi lauriann.hope we can get together while we are in florida i .don,t know distances,but it.would  be great to learn from your vast knowlege---smit

Hello and thank you for the warm welcome. It's been a busy few days, so I am joyful to connect with you now (though I'm having a navigation-confusion issue with this site/group.) Here is my brief intro: I live and work in Warsaw, Poland. Besides massage therapy, I offer gentle yoga classes in the Satyananda tradition. The yoga is certainly a big part of my self-care, including daily (morning) finger bending, finger-rotations, hand clenching, wrist bending, wrist rotations.... and I am always looking to find new and better ways to care for my most precious tools. Peacefully, O.

I just completed a private Deep Tissue training session and recommended your book, Save Your Hands, 2nd Edition, and Art Riggs' Deep Tissue DVD series. My student, who is a long-time practitioner, is more experienced is esthetics and Traditional Chinese Medicine than she is in Deep Tissue. The spa where she is working in the Woodlands near Houston is requiring her to offer Deep Tissue, in addition to her other modalities, so today in her training we talked about (and demonstrated) the Deep Tissue "tools of the trade." We coupled that with discussions about body mechanics and injury prevention. It was a lovely training. Your book was an inspiration! Many thanks. Would you like to exchange links on our websites?

Hi there Lauriann! You are more than welcome to post about your workshop on our page. If you have a link, I will include it on my meetup site as well, Central Valley Bodyworkers. :)

Hi Lauriann,
Thank you for your nice welcome to the site. I am looking forward to learning from all of you.

Thank you for the warm welcome Lauriann. I'm looking forward to sharing and learning with everyone on here.

Just got your book yesterday! :)

Thank you Lauriann,
I look forward to it.
Best regards,
Alex

Thanks for all the info, I look forward to learning even more about the opportunity to get trained to be able to teach other therapists about the tools you have. I plan to order your book and CE course as soon as our tax return hits the bank!

I will definitely keep that in mind. Can you share a few details about the instructor program, or is it still too much in development stages?

Hi Laurianne~

I would love to show you how MELT can help bodyworkers avoid injury. It's actually one of the flaws of most body workers... they give great work to others but can't work on themselves in an affective way.

MELT offers anyone the opportunity to sense inefficiency in the body's "autopilot" and bring it back to balance. It alleviates tension in the hands, wrists, not to mention neck and low back. The techniques are simple and it only takes 10 minutes a day. However, most people who MELT like to do it for longer periods of time because it feels so good.

Love to tell you more. Let's connect! I am on facebook, twitter, and have classes all over NYC and as far west as LA!

Best,
Sue

Thanks for your wonderful artwork, Ray, and welcome to the Save Your Hands! group. I hope you'll participate in our discussions on self-care. Feel free to start a topic!

Hello Lauriann, Wonderful to meet you. Best wishes , Ray

Hi Lauriann,
Thank you. But we will give it away. We do not do raffles. Everyone attending, instructors, vendors and attendees are given free door prize tickets. Almost everyone gets something. We attach a card to the prize, telling them who donated the prize and ask the recipient to contact that person and thank them for helping sponsor the WMF. Do you teach?

Hi Lauriann- I will be happy to take you up on that offer. If one therapist's career is lengthened, it will be worth it to me. I will get back to you when I start approaching folks for the attendee bags. Last year in Texas, we had 4 pounds of literature and one pound of samples and giveaways. This year will be tremendous! Thank you so much.
