After
years of searching I have finally found my purpose. I came from a large family of struggling
survivors living in Battle Creek, MI. Years
after the USAF, endless factory jobs, sales & leasing positions, and even
another lay off in 2009 I returned to college to enter Western
"Healthcare" as a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant.

Ups
and downs with more downs than any was the realism of what Western Healthcare
was. Insurance guidelines and
limitations, over diagnosis, cookie cutter therapy approaches, even the
push-back from the mention of Eastern bodywork approach and alternative wellness
all led me into the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release training. Myofascial Release was something that I could
apply to ALL of my patients regardless of age, problem, disease, body ache. Infant to Adult to Geriatric and even animals—MFR
just works!
Finally, I can offer more than just a blank stare, another medication script, another forceful manipulation, another exercise, or worse… another surgery. I can offer solutions to your aches and pains. At “The Healing Toadstool, PLLC” I am able to provide a gentle non-invasion, medication free option to resolve pain symptoms…only simple compression and holding techniques while you are given the safe space needed to heal. My mission is to simply facilitate the healing process of life itself.
I
started "The Healing Toadstool, PLLC" shortly after finishing additional
education in Medical Massage Therapy. Once I was Nationally Board Certified and
Licensed for the State of Michigan, I opened my heart, my mind, my home, and
just me to all those searching for answers. So you've got a diagnosis of this or that... but why? What caused it? How can it be stopped from happening again?
The
Fascial System is a web-like matrix that surrounds and encompasses every bit
that makes us who we are. While using its
fibers to suspend us in space It allows us our shape against gravity. When an injury is experienced the Fascia will
bind down at 2000lbs per square inch freezing all the surrounding tissue into a
solidified mass causing chronic pain, disease, and stagnation to life. The problem…
Not knowing how to let go… Let
me help you feel the difference you have been seeking and take the step towards
a better you!
