Caroline,

 

I am an empath and medical intuitive. Although I do use energy, I do not

consider myself an energy worker. My goal is to work holistically through

right brained perception and to start by focusing on helping the person heal

themselves. I use detailed anatomically based and energetic tools it is to

help people over the bumps in the road. I try to avoid being the healer

instead I prefer to be a catalyst.

 

I got into this work because my wife needed help and she discovered a

technique that helped her shoulder from he acupuncturist. I figured that

she would need a lot of work so it might be better if I took classes in it.

So I signed up never having had any bodywork training. It turned out to be

Berrywork might with energy and a sensitive touch related to Craniosacral.

The courses were very anatomically based covering one joint per course. I

took to it like a duck to water. The teacher did not realize that I was not

a bodyworker and when she saw how well I did to told be to get certified and

not waste my talent. I studies Swedish and deep tissue while I continued my

Lauren Berry training. After a few years I felt something was wrong and

while the highly structured training appealed to me as I had majored in

physics and worked with computers for 40 years this was not what I should be

doing. I looked into acupressure and energy work but it to was very

structured and also left brain centered. I needed to move to the right

brain intuitive side.

 

I had to unlearn the massage training attitude and actually fond that after

a while I could no longer do Swedish. My sensitivities were such that I

could feel the insult to tissue doing deep tissue. I find that my fingers

pick up pain and embedded emotional trauma and I now use the body to guide

me and tell me how it wants to heal. I have come to realize that holistic

to me means working beyond the realms of what we can logically understand.

Science should be used where the side effects can be potentially very

harmful. If you give the wrong drug or do the wrong surgery you can create

more problems than you fix. To a lesser degree this can happen with other

healing arts. You can actually worsen a person's energy balance if you make

a mistake.

 

I did not realize my gift until late in life. My first experience with

massage was in 1964 when I was helping set up a Peace Corps program in

Northeastern Brazil. I was visiting a hospital where the doctor in charge

was both medically trained and an intuitive healer. We went out on a call

and a woman had given birth hours before and the placenta was stuck. The

doctor had me do the massage because she saw something in me that I did not

recognize until years later. I can still feel the " emotions " in the

tissues. While I have not used my talents to save other human lives I have

had my share of " miracles " pass beneath my hands.

 

I find that moving in this directing cuts me off from developing other

healing skills. If I use physical or energetic techniques to access a

problem, it distorts my senses that can find problems that are in limited to

the confines of rational thought. My work is not limited to the confines of

the reality that we perceive.

 

This does not make me better or worse than other healers but instead I

complement what others offer. I don't believe that one can do both.

 

I don't know what to call myself I guess I am a muscle whisperer.
