Certified Diplomate in Upledger CranioSacral Therapy, SomaticEmotional Release (SER) Reiki Master/Teacher, Certified Infant Massage Instructor and autism advocate Around the same time my youngest child was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, High Functioning Autism. I spent the next few years in a tailspin trying to find ways to help her. I watched in amazement as a more holistic, all natural appr
oach did what no western medicine techniques could accomplish for her. Some of those approaches included various techniques to stimulate the sense of touch. Reiki a Japanese word meaning universal life energy. The first part Rei, refers to our spiritual dimension or soul. The second part Ki, means vital life or energy. This ancient natural method of healing touches the body without physically touching the body. (How else do you connect with a child who feels pain when you touch them?)
The benefits this approach provided opened my eyes to try other techniques. While I worked toward a Master/Teacher level in Reiki I sampled Yoga, learned Feng Sui, and began receiving regular massages & CranioSacral treatments, Chiropractic adjustments and Acupuncture. I became so fascinated with the benefits provided by Massage Therapy and CranioSacral Therapy I decided to become certified. I am currently State and Nationally certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork and my daughter now has functioning recovery of her autism maintained by daily touch stimulation.
