What is Healing?
Dictionary definition: the natural process by which the body repairs itself
We can speak of healing in many different ways but in essence it’s allowing the space and opportunity for the body and/or the individual as a whole to restore or repair itself as it was designed to do in the first place. EVERYONE has experienced healing on multiple levels. If you have every gotten a small cut or bruise, your body becomes AWARE of it immediately as something out of harmony. Then it responds to the situation and over the next day or so repairs it back to what seems like its original state. This is UNCONSCIOUS healing—you on a conscious level had nothing to do with it—you didn’t have to think about repairing blood vessels, how to get white blood cells to clean up the bacteria, get cells to regenerate, etc. The body took care of it all by itself as you went about your day to day business. What an INCREDIBLE MIRACLE our body is!
Another level of healing that many of you have experienced directly with Touch of Life Chiropractic is healing of the mind, body & energy through CONSCIOUS awareness. You became aware of a situation that you didn’t like such as headaches, pain, digestive issues, allergies, hormone imbalances, anxiety etc. in which your body was NOT able to heal or take care of by itself. By now you are all understand that your body had reached or gone way over its maximum threshold of compensation and was now having a challenging time helping you get back in balance with the lifestyle and choices you were making. So we help you to better understand your body, mind & energy and increase your awareness on the choice you HAVE been making and introduce alternative choices that will help your body create more health. At TLC, our whole focus is to bring to light, teach and practice choices that will not only decrease stress on your body & life but to also lead you into manifesting and creating more health & vibrancy! And we will absolutely continue to do so with whomever we have the honor of serving.
What I would like to introduce now is another level of healing. One that will allow you to go deeper within your own self—to discover & cultivate the Healer within. Every ONE of us is a Healer. As a “professional healer” I have understood from the very start that I am not the one creating healing on another. I help restore balance in the mind, body & energy so that your body can go back to healing itself. But the point is that each one of us is designed to heal. We not only heal our bodies but we can heal our thoughts, our beliefs, our choices and ultimately our lives. Healing on this level is so much more about mastering awareness and taking responsibility for our choices. I had alluded earlier to unconscious and conscious healing. What if we could now learn, discuss, practice and master healing CONSCIOUSLY? What if you could truly become aware of the power of imagination, visualization, being able to feel the subtle shifts in energy within and around you? Could an enlightened conversation within itself ignite healing of one’s thoughts and life? Could an intention to stay in the heart space of love during an argument facilitate healing, deeper connection & understanding of another & oneself? Could you open to healing yourself as you witness another’s healing? Healing alone is incredible but what if you could open to the power of healing within a GROUP or community of like-minded individuals—the energy of a group is exponentially more powerful than the sum of each individual.
If this conversation at all sparks an interest, come join us and be a part of our journey towards opening to the next level of healing. Each of you have amazing hearts, so many gifts and so much love to offer. We invite you to come have fun, open to new ideas, illuminated conversations, master practices that you’ve already opened to, and most of all share you with us and the TLC family. This is the time to come out and be, grow, learn, open, practice and master TOGETHER. The world is already shifting—you don’t have to shift alone. In fact, please don’t shift alone—be of service by sharing you, your journey, your vulnerabilities, your learnings, your gifts and your triumphs with us all. For your healing is my healing is our healing. As the saying goes, WE ARE ALL ONE. We can say that repeatedly but what does that mean and more importantly how do we embody that as an expression of who we are?

I attended a four day class to become a certified educator of Infant massage. During the program I met many people for various lines of work in the infant and young child fields; everything from NICU nurses to School directors. What an amazing experience; I learned how far the medical community has come and is trying to come to help premature babies through touch. These same benefits apply (of course) to full term babies as well!
Being a Mom to four, I’d like to take this time to acknowledge all of the growing families by offering a Free Infant Massage Class! From past educational personal experiences I knew that infants' & babies' nervous systems and bodies grow at such an unprecedented rate. But I really realized during this class that nothing compares to what a human being goes through in the first 2 years of life as far as development physically and in the brain! Touch, bonding with parents, and having ways to relieve stress are all a part of their amazing growth. In fact they need to de-stress as much as we do!
My children range in age from 10 to 26. I have always worked in some capacity during their growing years. It was quite a challenge for me to work while they were small. To be quite honest, I felt guilty at times and had a lot of separation issues, which is quite a common feeling for many women in our society today. So while putting this class together I thought a lot about my own parenting experiences and what would have made some of the transition a WHOLE lot easier! With that in mind, my primary intention and objective for the class will be to demonstrate (through massage, intention & awareness) how to INCREASE parent-child communication and connection, thus increasing the energetic & emotional bond.
I also wanted to incorporate some discussion on the energetic bond between family members. The bond between parent and child is always there even when family is not physically in the same room together. If you are reading this, stop and think of a time you thought of someone, were not expecting to hear from them, but the phone rang (within five minutes) and it was the person you were just thinking about. This is the connection I’m referring to. Knowing this makes whatever choices you make regarding your children less stressful and more loving.
Why 5 days for an hour? As I stated above, babies are physically growing at such a rapid rate and their nervous systems are developing quite quickly right along with it (and it is quite a miracle to say the least!) and as a result their “quiet alert” times may vary quite a bit. Experience has taught that meeting a minimum of five times give everyone involved enough time to integrate the program and learn the sequence without feeling pressure. This is intended to be a relaxed, fun and rewarding experience!
So if you're a new TLC parent and would like to learn how to increase connection with your little one through massage as well as through intent and energy, please join us. We are also inviting & highly encouraging both parents, granparents, and or any caregivers that are an integral part of your baby's care to join the class. This first series is a special one in that is it free (except for cost materials) and the only thing we ask is that you can attend ALL 5 classes.
Super Food Juices
All Natural Skin Products
AWARE SKIN was inspired by the desire to offer the cleanest, most natural, chemical-free skin care products — with superior performance to enhance and vitalize the skin — while allowing the body to function at optimum. We highly recommend this amazing line to you.
Did you know that the skin absorbs skin and hair products directly into your bloodstream and carries it throughout your body? If you are using toxic products, they often store in your brain and liver and fat cells, three of the hardest places to detoxify.
What you put on your skin goes directly into your blood and brain without a filter. ANY chemical, filler, alcohol, sulfate, petrochemical, fertilizer, or non-natural extraction method leaves you vulnerable to disease, discomfort, aging, and skin problems. Plus, what is coming into your blood and brain?
So, just as it is important to eat healthy nutritious food, it is just as important to apply healthy nutritious products to your skin. Or do you still want to put chemicals on your skin and into your body?
AWARE SKIN is the most incredible union of plants and science that supports healthy skin, a healthy immune system, and a healthy brain and body. The formulas provide precise combinations of plants, in exacting solutions of very specific molecular sizes and weights to fully cleanse the skin; prepare it for maximum absorption of appropriate nutrients; increase health-giving oxygen, and age-defying pH; along with protecting it while still allowing it to breathe and interface with the environment in a healthy way — leaving you with fresh and vibrant youthful skin.
Within days of using the products you will experience the noticeable benefits for yourself.
“I've been using Aware Skin Products for 2 months now and my skin has literally transformed! It is a lot more elastic and the red spots i had on my checks are gone. I used it on my body also and it was amazing when the skin patches (that no doctor could explain and for which I tried EVERYTHING unsuccessfully over the last 3 years) totally disappeared… thanks TLC for introducing me to the products!! I love them!” ~Gigi
CHANGE
A starter kit….
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world” ~Mahatma Gandhi
Did you ever wonder how you--one person--could start make a change in the world? I recieved this gift and LOVED it so much that I contacted the women who created the box & totes to see if there was a way that I could bring them to you! And they were wonderful in accomodating us--they're whole focus is to spread the word as much as possible, that change can be easy and that it takes simple steps! (Sound familiar?)
So, what's in it? It's a box of "Change"
~a SUPER COOL, ECO-FRIENDLY GIFT that keeps on giving! Packed full of GREEN goodies that includes a Recycled, Reusable TOTE Bag, an Arbor Day Tree seedling or “Tree in a Box” that you can plant in your back yard, fair trade hot chocolate, a treeless journal, Sudoku booklet, compact fluorescent light bulb, Gratitude Cards, and an Envelope to Help End Hunger.
It makes a great gift for yourself & for others. What an incredible way to give something that has so much love & thought embedded within it! Of course you can also add a TOUCH OF LIFE GIFT CERTIFICATE to make it extra special!!
