Mom – Waynesville, NC

I, myself, have been continually inspired by your enthusiasm and love, not only this past year, but over your entire life. You have always been the great joy and sunshine in my life since the day you were born into this universe. I have witnessed your acts of kindness and spiritual understanding grow and expand over the years and now enjoy, still with amazement, your reaching a deep matureness in your life as you evolve as a son, a friend, a teacher, a healer, and a spiritual being. ——-You, Dear, have helped me in so many ways over the years. You are always generous with your insights, advice and helpful tips about how I can be healthier, happier, and more attune to my own feelings. I feel our roles have switched back and forth many times in this lifetime where I have been blessed above all as your Mother, but as your child, your friend, your confidant, and your patient. How fortunate is that! ——As I age, I reflect and appreciate all the steps your have taken to further your commitment, your soul commitment, to be of service to others, to heal whatever needs to be healed, with your unique intuitive gift of knowing what that is. Your many years of training in areas of skeletal and muscle issues, movement, pressure points, nutrition, has given you a well-rounded understanding of the human body and its requirements for optimal health. Just simple changes, like showing me how to correctly stand, bend, move and sit, have strengthened my body and allowed me to accomplish daily activities without pain or restriction. Your 20 plus years of being a massage therapist has taught you even more and brought you many insights into methods of free movement and pain relief. I feel you have excelled in the area of pain relief and that you have a special gift in that area, probably due to your understanding of not only the physical body, but also recognizing how any negative emotional feelings in a person can cause blocks that create pain as well. And, your ability to counsel and help a person understand and heal that. I know this first hand as you have guided me through that process countless times, for which I am most grateful. ——In addition, your many years of study in the yoga, tai chi, and chi gong, have greatly enhanced your knowledge. . . I want you to KNOW how much I appreciate you and value you as a Healer of body, mind and soul!!”
