When was your last dose of goodness from a Body & Energy Therapist?

I believe the body has a brilliant ability to heal itself. I believe in natural healing and holistic health care. I believe our bodies are vehicles to which we can live our best lives yet…and should therefore be taken very good care of!

Andrea, my fav acupuncturist (well, i truthfully hate needles, but NOTHING has cured me of any ailment, illness or injury faster than those needles!) has created a really lovely practice in the heart of Yaletown. She and her partner practice healing with needles and they have several other very talented individuals in their space – including their fab office manager who blogs! Thru their blog, I discovered the offerings of Dennis Gamboa – Body & Energy Therapist, Intuitive Consultant. So I booked an appt!

Not totally sure what to expect, but hoping for a massage for my sore shoulders and tired legs…I walk in, answer the necessary questions and proceed to lie down beneath a towel. Dennis didn’t say very much, but I was quickly laid to …rest. Rest is something I don’t do often, so when I get to this place, I know I have arrived! He used copious amounts of essential oils, hot and cold compresses, gentle motions followed by harsh strikes and the odd stroke of a gong. Feeling totally zen’d out…the hour flew by…my body was relaxed, rejuvenated and rested.

But it wasn’t over!

He stepped away for a moment and walked back in, removed the warm towels on my feet and said “would you like me to tell you what I discovered?”. Of course, i immediately respond with glee…YES!

In his gentle tone, these are the messages he shared with me…
  • You have alot of energy – loads of yang, but not alot of yin. You are healthy and strong, but you are not allowing yourself to express your creative side. It will help you breathe easier if you do.
  • You are not meant for the corporate world – you have too many ideas of your own – you need to be pushed over the edge to go explore them! (DUH!)
  • You will succeed on your own – make the leap. Money will not be a problem for you. (Biggest fear for an entrepreurn…obvious music to my ears:))
  • It is spring time – lots of change will happen…it will bloom over the summer and set roots in the fall. Be ready for that.
  • You care too much about other people – and their happiness and do not invest in yourself often enough. You carry that weight with you. Try to release it and see how it makes you feel…
  • You need to drink more water. 0.5-1L more than you currently consume. (So bang on – I usually only drink 1L/day…def missing another 1L!)
  • You are organic. (YES! I know I am organic! eeek!) You are an old soul who appreciates simple, rooted pleasures in life. But you may not be giving yourself permission to enjoy those pleasures…set yourself free.

Totally on brand…on truth. Set yourself free and book an appt with Dennis to discover your inner Fabulous self:)
