masseurin

Which is the title I am hoping to have some time by the beginning of the new year. Hand made bodywork! I studied massage at the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts, which I highly recommend, in 1999-2000, graduating with a 1200 hour Massage Therapy degree. They'll be sending along a new copy of my transcript and now I just have to figure out what to do with it so it is recognizable over here (aside from translating it). The Health Bureau will have ideas, of course, when I call them this morning. I am just hoping that they will not be expensive ideas.

My plan, as of now, is that next week I will get my working papers and permission to stay (because we are married!). Then, get things organized to work as a "masseurin" starting by the beginning of next year. Meanwhile, learn anatomy in GERMAN, and practice on people so I can remember what I am doing with massage. Continue my Ortho-Bionomy practice sessions and get certified by the Society in the States. Open a  practice as a Massage Therapist and Ortho-Bionomist while I take courses in Plant Medicine (starting next spring?), which I have wanted to do since I was a child picking flowers for potions in my mother's garden. Enter a 16 month study program (next march?) for the Healing Practitioner training (I have to learn how to give injections, apparently.) Sit for the exam in October 2012 (interesting) and be certified as a Heilprakitkerin here in Germany utilizing Ortho Bionomy, Massage Therapy, Energy Medicine, and Plant Medicine, and whatever else I pick up along the way.

Keep in mind the joke, "what makes God laugh? Plans." I keep saying to nic lately, "I wonder what the universe has in store for us?" Because I feel totally, foolishly, happily clueless as to what the next step is in terms of anything, not even the bodywork, though there is a sketch of a plan to aim towards. Will it happen that way? Never. Will it be better than I had thought and perfectly right in its unfolding? Of course.

Meanwhile, if you live in my area, I hope to be giving massage and bodywork practice sessions starting in November, once I figure out a place to actually work out of. I am thinking here at home in one of the rooms upstairs because my parents brought over my massage table in September (thank you). I am happy to have the conversation with you that I have with lots of people. You: "what is Ortho-Bionomy, I have never heard of it before...." Me: "Most people haven't, it is a form of bodywork that engages the self healing and self corrective reflexes of the body, moving towards comfort and ease and engaging in relationship- between the client and practitioner, the client and themselves, the practitioner, client, and universal energies. Take a look at the website if you want (see link above), and actually, it is just better if I show you." So give me a call so I can show you. For a limited time only, free!
