Extras: I feel so blessed to be able to do what I love and help people become more in tune with their body/mind/spirit connection through touch and nurturing time. Blessings are behind every challenge; we need only to get quiet and let our heart guide us to the calm behind the storm. "Now is the time to know that every thought and action is sacred." ~Hafiz
