Hello there! Welcome to the Structural Goddess blog! I'm happy that you are here.
Now why "structural goddess", you might ask? Well, I'm Structural Integration bodyworker (read: massage therapist) and I'm also very highly intuitive, so I guess you can say that I am an awesome balance of the physical and the spiritual. :) But don't worry- I won't beat you over the head with either one, which leads me into why I started this whole thing in the first place...
Back on October 29th, 2014, I was involved in the worst car accident I have experienced in my life. While I walked away mostly unscathed, it took a physical, emotional and spiritual toll on my little massage therapist self. I was able to come back to work two months after the accident (after letting a dissected vertebral artery heal), but I wasn't necessarily "back" all the way. I worked for about a year straight after that, getting stronger and stronger, or so I thought...
Then, back in late January-early February of this year, the symptoms came back. Every single one of them. Just when I thought I was in the clear. It took me out of work because the symptoms affected my left arm and who wants to get worked on by a one-armed massage therapist (insert your own joke here. :))? And honestly, I LOVE what I do so much that I couldn't possibly picture myself NOT doing it in some way or form. So I thought, why not combine my love for massage and energy work with my journalism degree and create something that can help people near and far, and can help them whether I have my hands on them or not. :)
So I will cover a LOT of different things in this blog. The structure of the body, how to break out of "chronic holding patterns" in your everyday life, energy work, how other energy affects you. I'll be throwing in certain things based on my personal experiences as well because I know I am not the only one who has experienced these things. And if my experiences and stories can help people in some way, then I have no problem telling them. I think that's why I love my job so much because you get to connect with people, and, by connecting with people, you're helping them heal (and sometimes, healing yourself as well). And that's all I want for this blog. Massive amounts of healing!
So come on in, sit down, and buckle up because I guarantee you this ride won't be boring...
