Deep Tissue Therapy

September 5, 2019 by Lisa T.

I wrote this in February 2017 The doctors in white coats have come to be mostly about drugs and surgery in response to how misaligned Americans are with their own flesh. Many times, none of that is necessary. The flesh can be healed by moving the deep blood or QI. Blood is QI fairly easily because we contain conscious ELM energy. The responsibility is not entirely on them that they aren’t offering you what you really need. It is a […]

bones are rigid and controllable; muscles are not

July 30, 2019 by Lisa T.

I’ve wondered for twenty years, after having my hands on thousands of patients, why in god’s name the chiropractors and orthopedic doctors and surgeons, mostly men, focus on THE BONE as the cause of pain and pathology in the body and treat the muscles and blood like the geneticists treat junk DNA which is an offensive name to biologists. I’ve stated the anatomical fact on this blog numerous times and that is, bone and disc follow muscle and the other […]

Legal Boundaries in the Massage Office

March 25, 2019 by Lisa T.

No. That is patently wrong and she was crossing my professional boundaries and her rights as a patient. I have the […]

This…IS…health care.

March 18, 2019 by Lisa T.

It could be a West Michigan thing because of sex trafficking, sex services offered at the day spas or just the underbelly religious patriarchal culture of Grand Rapids. But in one month alone I’ve had two white male clients, fully apprised of my website ask me out on a date, comment on my looks, and literally suggest I could charge more and take him upstairs. The third client in a month happened today where she clearly knew my services, gave […]
