Health care is on the minds of most people, whether they have it, need it, or don't have the right policy due to financial infeasibility, to acquire or maintain it. Unfortunately when it comes to health, if you don't invest in it now, you pay for it later, as the investment of our bodies seem to yield higher rates of health issue returns to our lives as we age. As it stands now, preventative health is not recognized under most health insurance policies unless it comes… Continue

Harvest is upon us again. It is a time to gather and take in the bounty of our labors. It is also a time of reflection, a time to look within and assess our needs; to take inventory and appreciate what we have. In the medical community and with the reminders in the media, we realize it is also cold and flu season, a time when we can deplete our immune system. When this happens not just the individual suffers but all those around them do also.

As a society we have been informed of… Continue

Have you ever been told by your massage therapist after receiving a massage to drink plenty of water? You may ask yourself, ''Why is this"?

The body is mostly composed of fluids. The skin holds the fluids in as well as holding other structures together - like a body suit. Fluids in the body consist of lymph, blood, cerebrospinal fluid as well as other fluids as carriers to help in the transportation, distribution and elimination process. It thereby supports the ability to heal, restore,… Continue

Although I am in the midst of a busy Sunday tending to improving my business and my website, I had to look over some of my forums on the instructor's side of my site to see what was up. It's when I read

entries such as this I am excited to say MELT is helping and we are

ready to do a study directly on some benefits of MELT! See below an

entry from one of our influential MELT Instructors:

In my years as a Massage Therapist, I have learned more about myself by helping other people. I have also learned that I have to care for my own body to give to others. I have been in the field for 11 years and have owned my own spa, been a massage instructor, and worked at a spa on the strip in Las Vegas.



The physical part of my job is what drove me but it also led to burnout and injury. I was working full time at the spa and writing the… Continue

Too often in our current medical system, we attempt to resolve disease by treating symptoms. However, ancient medicine teaches us that before symptoms arise, there is a break in the energy field, subtle communication in the body becomes distorted, "dis-ease" gradually sets in, making the way for pathology, diagnosis, and clinical disease. Five thousand year old medicine, and the basis for AMMA Therapy(R), teaches that this break in the energy field begins in the emotional plane -- in the… Continue
