In this presentation, I will introduce you to my journey and humble beginnings as an Electrical Engineering Project Manager to a body worker by using prayer. As people talk about gifts, I have learned you receive different gifts based on your life and how you need to deal with circumstances in your life. I have learned to also test the gifts to make sure they are of God, and I can explain this process to you. In my beginning into body work, I found an opportunity to start working on people via a Craigslist ad in the paper. From there, I started to see the body differently than my counterparts and started going after the source versus the symptom. 

As I would progress in this journey, fear of the unknown concerned me a little when I started my own practice.  I didn’t know what to expect or what to even charge.  Where I was being led, was far different than what I started.  Even today, my practice has changed even more than when I first began. 

Some of the simplicities I have discovered in my journey…..

When you work with people, humility is a quality that is needed for any practitioner. 

It’s important to meet people where they are at and help them learn the strengths they have within themselves. 

Be comfortable addressing any and all issues in the lives of your clients. 

You will be a mentor, a sounding board, and a shoulder depending on your clients. Allow that to be whatever is needed. 

Tears are healing. Make sure you have enough Kleenex for the people you are helping.
