Healing the Mind Body Connection, LLC

NEW SERVICES

Hey, y'all! I hope everyone has been doing well! I have nothing petty to write today! I'm grateful that everyone has been on their best behavior and has been sending in referrals!

Below, I will list the new services. I will share what you need to know BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE FROM RECEIVING THE WORK FROM MULTIPLE PEOPLE AND PERFORMING it. Again, this isn’t meant to deter you, but it is something you need to consider; everyone’s body is different.

THAI YOGA ON THE TABLE AND MAT

PAPERWORK

This service only requires massage paperwork. However, if you completed your massage paperwork when I used paper, PLEASE REMIND ME OF ANY INJURIES OR SURGERIES (back surgeries, knee and ankle issues, dislocations, etc.) before receiving the service.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

You will come to this session in workout clothes that you can stretch in. Please make sure everything is covered so nothing slips out, pops out, or gets accidentally exposed.



For safety reasons, I will perform the session on both the table and the mat. We will most likely have it UPSTAIRS, so you can easily transition from the mat to the table. The session involves compressions, myofascial work, and Thai stretching. As with a massage, tender spots will be found through compression and myofascial techniques, and some mild soreness is expected. Remember, some of you are already familiar with some of the techniques; it's just being applied through your clothes.

As I learn new techniques and stretches, the session will follow the same recipe, with the new techniques incorporated. Please be mindful that I may spend more time on a particular area if it’s tight (but don’t expect it to be released in one session - what you do outside the session matters).



This service isn't for you if:

• You have severe limitations in most areas of the body due to surgeries or past injuries (accommodations can be made for certain injuries)

• You can’t lie flat

• You don’t think you can relax enough to let me stretch you. Meaning you’re trying to help me the entire time.

• You don't want your stomach, feet, or chest touched



PLEASE BE ADVISED:

• When compressions are done on the stomach to strengthen the diaphragm, while they are gentle and working with your breath against resistance, you will go to the bathroom the same day or immediately the next morning. Some clients consider this a detox. Please plan accordingly!

• Some techniques require me to use my feet (depending on my own flexibility that day). I will wear clean socks. If this isn't something you’re interested in, let me know before the session starts. The work can still be done with my forearms and hands

• Vigorous compressions will be applied near the chest and sternum area to loosen up tightness. - YOU WILL BE SORE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTERWARDS BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER HAD THE AREA WORKED AND MOST PEOPLE ARE TIGHT IN THEIR CHEST

• MEN - LET ME KNOW HOW FAR TO TAKE THE CROSS-BODY LEG STRETCHES.

BODY CONTOURING/SCULPTING

PAPERWORK

This requires separate paperwork from Manual Lymphatic Drainage. If you choose to do both, you will need two separate forms because they have different contraindications and precautions.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

It is highly recommended that you complete Manual Lymphatic Drainage first, with a minimum of six sessions, then follow up with the Body Sculpting session for maintenance.



• Stomach - has a high-frequency sound during the service (bring headphones if you think it will annoy you)

• Heat sensitivity can occur when receiving treatment on the face, arms, and thighs

• You can have the heat turned down; however, be mindful that your results may be uneven

• Conduction gel is used for this service

• The thigh area can become bruised or sensitive due to repetitive vacuum/suction strokes with radio frequency

• Limit is up to 2 sessions per week (Face - radio frequency waves); Body cavitation - ultrasound waves

• PLEASE ARRIVE 15 MINUTES EARLY FOR THIS SERVICE FOR CONSULTATION. IF DIRECTIONS AREN'T FOLLOWED, A CONSULTATION FEE WILL BE CHARGED FOR FIRST-TIME SESSIONS WHICH WILL BE REFLECTED ON THE BOOKING SITE

• Results will vary. Please follow proper aftercare, which includes drinking water.



PICTURES OF RESULTS WILL BE SHOWN IN THE OFFICE. If I show you photos of myself, please remember that my results won't be as authentic because I can't manually flush out excess lymph. I was still able to achieve results without drinking a lot of water, dieting, exercising, or undergoing manual lymphatic drainage. I'M THE BAD CLIENT, SO DON'T BE ME IF YOU WANT RESULTS THAT LAST.

If you like the service, consider purchasing a package. Hopefully, by the end of the week, you will have the option to purchase a package of 3 if you can't afford the 6. Packages must be used within 6 months.

SYNERGETIC MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

PAPERWORK

Only the massage paperwork is required.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Everyone claims to have had myofascial work done, but not all myofascial work is the same. My work isn't the same as a physical therapist's, except for one physical therapist I originally trained with. My work is DRY. It's a mix of myofascial technique, mobility, shaking, Thai stretching, and rocking. NO LUBRICANT. SKIN ON SKIN. This work is done to improve posture and structural alignment. Also, this work is slow, and specific body areas are covered in each session.



I completed this program in 2019 and was part of the first graduating class. I recently went back through the program, completed over 300 hours in six months, and became recertified.



I have been mixing these techniques into my sessions. THIS IS A MORE EXPENSIVE AND SPECIFIC SESSION (90-MINUTE SESSION).



• You need to come prepared: Men: gym shorts; Women: sports bra or a bra that allows me to work, and shorts

• Before-and-after pictures will be taken to monitor progress

• This is a 10-session series (be mindful that some sessions may have to be repeated depending on how tight the body is)

• These sessions will require you to actively participate, move body areas, and communicate with me about your pain level. You will also have to get up and down off the table, and some work will involve standing.

• Jaw, side of the head/scalp, and intraoral work are involved in the later sessions

THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF:
• Can't withstand pressure (discomfort or pain should remain between 6-7, higher if you're able to breathe through it without tensing up
• WANT A FULL BODY SESSION (every session has specific areas that will be addressed, but end with seated back work)
• • Don't want your stomach, glutes, underarms, hip flexors, knees, or feet touched (it defeats the purpose of receiving the work)

• Don't want to take pictures (only you and I will see them for tracking/monitoring progress)

• Want to see instant results. Results may not be visible in photos until session 4, but you will feel the change.

• DOING SELF-CARE, MOBILITY, AND BREATH WORK WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BODY TO HOLD THE RESULTS

• REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU RELEASE FASCIA IN ONE AREA, IT MAY HAVE A RIPPLE EFFECT, AND YOU MAY FEEL TENSION IN ANOTHER AREA - THIS IS NORMAL

TRUST ME, MOST PEOPLE CAN RECEIVE AND TOLERATE THE WORK. I HAVE HAD SOMETIMES 2-3 PEOPLE WORKING ON ME AT ONE TIME DURING TRAINING, WHILE I HAD TO ACTIVELY MOVE, SO I KNOW YOU CAN HANDLE LITTLE OL' ME.

POSSIBLE ADD-ON SERVICES COMING LATER!

Y'all already know I have 50 million things going on, and I feel like I've developed ADHD, but once I can figure out how to turn these ideas into a session, I will add them to the service menu.

o Another facial service

o Legs, feet, and ankles only (myofascial) - addressing the arches of the feet

o Neck

o Hip flexors and glutes

o Ribs/abdomen

o Working specifically on upper-body syndromes (forward head posture, rounded posture/shoulders) and lower-body syndromes (X pattern or A-frame legs) - MYOFASCIAL

o Other body areas for body sculpting (not included in my training)

o Adding other areas of the body for MLD (chest, arms, back) - need to go through the routine once on someone to refresh my memory then it will be added

FRIENDLY REMINDERS!

BOOK ENOUGH TIME. DON'T EXPECT ME TO GIVE YOU EXTRA TIME BECAUSE OF MY PERFECTIONISM.

If you work out, are stressed out, or are just in bad shape overall and want a full-body session, you need to book 75 MINUTES OR MORE and FOCUS ON A SPECIFIC AREA, such as the upper body, upper body AND calves and feet.

Unfortunately, as I add more services and undergo additional training, given the current economy (laundry detergent, massage cream, credit card processing, website, booking website), THERE'S A CHANCE prices may go up. If they do, it will be reflected on the booking website.



BE OPEN TO RECEIVING WORK ON OTHER BODY AREAS OR BEING PLACED IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS



Body areas:

o Back pain – hip flexors, hamstrings, feet

o Rib/abdomen – open the breath, strengthen the diaphragm and chest, and provide uplift in the body

o Feet – can affect the entire body (neck, back, hips, legs, postural alignment)

Positions:
o Side
o Seated
o Placing a pillow under the stomach/hip area for lower back work

ALSO, BE MINDFUL THAT YOU CAN REQUEST RIB/ABDOMEN AND HIP FLEXOR WORK IN YOUR SESSION UNTIL AN ADD-ON SERVICE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT YOU BOOK ENOUGH TIME TO INCLUDE IT IN THE SESSION. Sometimes working the hip flexors alone can take 30-40 minutes, depending on how tight you are. The ribs can take 10-20 minutes.

THANK YOU TO THE CLIENTS WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN OPEN TO RECEIVING THIS WORK. IT CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE AND SLOW, BUT THEY DEFINITELY HAVE NOTICED A DIFFERENCE.

I HOPE ALL THIS INFORMATION WAS HELPFUL. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, SHOOT ME A TEXT OR ASK ME DURING YOUR NEXT VISIT.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING Y'ALL AND ANY REFERRALS. I WOULDN'T HAVE LASTED 13 YEARS IN BUSINESS AND 19 IN THE INDUSTRY WITHOUT Y'ALL.

"Does your knee ever CLICK?"
Please answer Y or N to help my page stay on FB.

😡

First of all, when we talk about knee pain we must have a conversation about your hips.

When we look at the muscles of your hip, there is a small one on the front of your hip that creates a lot of problems for your knee. The Tensor Fascia Lata has a long tendon the travels down the side of the leg and attaches just above the knee. We call this tendon the iliotibial tract better known as the

IT BAND.

When our tfl gets tight and overactive it can develop a trigger point. This trigger point can create a pain deep into the hip joint that runs down the outside of the thigh.

If you do a lot of running or walking in the hills or you like to sleep in the fetal position, you may want to try laying on a tennis ball for a couple of minutes to get a release.

This will help you alleviate the tension you feel from having a tfl that is just doing too much!

Big Toe Makes BIG GLUTE!!!

😖

"SAY WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHATTT?!?!?!"

When we walk, jog or run we are supposed to use our glutes to "push" us into our next step. With each step you take, I should see that your stride allows you to extend at the HIP, ANKLE, & KNEE.

FACT: If it DOESN'T allow this, it is more than likely the fault of your BIG TOE.

If your BIG TOE can't extend to allow you to push off, then your ankle, knee, and hip won't want to. It is almost as if the BIG TOE talks to the rest of our body.

You have a BIG PROBLEM if: From a standing or sitting position, you can't actively lift your big toe (without liting the other toes) from the ground with the muscles of your foot. This tells us you don't have the strength.

You have a BIGGER PROBLEM if; You can't bend over and use your fingers to lift your big toe up to about 75 degrees. This tells us you don't have mobility.

The sad thing is that your BRAIN will not care. It will find a new way to move and kind of forget butt does more than give you a cushion to sit on.

Let me help you.

Plantar Fasciitis is NOT a foot problem, it's a WEIGHT problem!

🤔

As in...

your body is having a hard time passing WEIGHT from:

1. your heel to your toe
2. the outside of your foot to the inside of your foot.

It is the job of our feet to take us places. As they go through the pattern of walking they take on impact at our heel and then shove weight from the outer edge of one foot to the opposite leg.

If....

🤬Our hip and leg muscles can't slow our heel down as it comes in contact with the ground we get PLANTAR FASCIITIS.

🤬Our foot is TOO RIGID (or NOT rigid enough) we get PLANTAR FASCIITIS.

This means plantar fasciitis self-treatment involves more than just a new pair of shoes.

"Does your BELLY bulge a little?"
please answer Y or N to help my page

⭐

TRUTH: If your STOMACH POOCHES we can blame your HIPS for making your lower back ARCH too much.

Everything is connected and once our pelvis changes position, everything has to adapt.

An excessive anterior pelvic tilt is the most COMMON POSTURAL DEVIATION that I have seen from people all over the world. It is the root cause for chronic pain in the hips, lower back, knees, ankles and even the neck.

It is also the emphasis of the BODY BLUEPRINT CHEAT SHEET that I released on Friday.

"The Body Blueprint Cheat Sheet," shares with you the most common postural deviations that I have discovered after working with thousands of people from all over the planet.

If you want to purchase the "Cheat Sheet," now you can save yourself 20 dollars.

The New Release Price will be over the weekend it will be available for 30 and then starting Monday it will be regularly priced at 50.
