A personal note:
I have a Master's Degree in Music Education and 18 years teaching experience in the Illinois public schools. During my last 10 years of teaching, I was the band director at a middle school in Naperville, IL where we had one of the finest band programs in the Midwest. I was proud of our accomplishments and recognized my part in establishing our reputation, but I still felt "empty". I was a workaholic. I had no significant relationships at the time (except with food and other "externals") and I didn't spend much time with my friends or family. My students' performance determined how I felt about myself. I had a co-dependent relationship with my profession and the people in my life. I was really unbalanced and unhealthy in may ways. I had lots of "broken spokes on my wellness wheel." I was seeing a therapist and getting bodywork from a chiropractor and massage therapist. During one of my healing massage sessions, I had a revelation that made me realize how much I had lost touch with my True Self. The therapy and bodywork helped me begin to move forward through some issues and begin to heal. I initially entered massage school for a distraction from my teaching job, as well as a place to be with health-minded adults. I never imagined at the time that massage therapy would become my new profession. Nor did I imagine I would be moving...to Douglas, MI, where I didn't know anyone. I just sensed this is where I was supposed to be and "healing" is what I was supposed to do. I followed Spirit with an open heart. I am truly blessed to be serving others while living in the Douglas/Saugatuck community. It has been a magical journey thus far and I embrace the mystery of the future. I have become a more compassionate human being and gifted massage therapist as a result of my life experiences, soul-searching and the forgiveness work that I have done. I am committed to creating a safe place, with healthy nurturing touch to help you heal from whatever healing needs to take place within you and for you. If I am not the "right person" to assist you on your journey, I will help you find someone who can. Namaste, Nancy |
