Deep t.Issue Massage Therapy

The name of my business is now "Deep t.Issue Massage Therapy".  My name is Lisa Townsend and I do advanced, professional, deep tissue massage and sell herbal remedies.  I do NOT sell medical marijuana.
My work is TOP notch.  I always get results.  Please call me and tell me what it is you are looking for.

My website is still http://www.lisaktownsend.com

My phone # is 616-328-4242http://www.lisaktownsend.com
My address is:

1135 Walker Ave. NW
Grand Rapids, MI  49504

I can and will bill any Auto Owners Insurance and any Insurance plan you buy on the Michigan Health Exchanges set up by the Affordable Care Act (Same thing as Obamacare).  Section 2705 stipulates that no insurance company can discriminate against services provided by a licensed heath care provider.  Massage therapy is now licensed by the State of MI, although not all massage therapists are licensed.  Buyer beware!

I highly recommend you always ask if the practitioner is licensed to make sure you're getting the product you want.

Deep t.Issue Massage Therapy

(click on the title takes you to my website)


My office is now able to swipe your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flex Spending Account (FSA) set up through your employer and put on a regular plastic card.  It's great if you have a physicians script for medical massage and they then let me know how long they think you should see me and the frequency.  Not a bad idea to have us working as a team for your treatable soft tissue problems that are not severe enough to be addressed by surgery or pharmacy and not adequately addressed by a Physical Therapist.  But you can still use the HSA/FSA account even if you don't have a script.  I am trained to supply progress reports to your doctor and happy to do it.

I also bill  Auto Insurance or any Insurance you buy on the Michigan Health Exchange under Obamacare.

This is preventative medicine but also curative medicine for some.  I move the blood stasis that sits in the deep layers of soft tissue (muscle, ligament, tendon, and nerve).  If your blood isn't toxic from junk food, drugs, smoking, alcohol, etc., we are in a position to get you moving in alignment fairly quickly.  But what you put in your mouth and thus your blood is totally within your control.  So is your exercise.  If your muscles are weak, but you're making demands on them, you're set up for pain.  We'll talk about that too.  I am not dictatorial or heavy handed.  We just discuss and I listen and offer suggestions.  It helps to someone in your court when you're trying to make real changes to your body.

We talk about all of that.  Your Dr. generally doesn't.  I do.  My treatments and your compliance are very, very cost effective in a health care system that has run amok because people in America use their bodies out of balance and feed their bodies out of balance.  It is possible to make changes a little bit at a time.

You'll feel SO MUCH better when you're doing things that are good for you.  I hope to see you soon.

In Good Health,
Lisa Townsend

Attachment

Ya know...attachment to people is hard when your personality is independent, free, open, generous, adventurous.  I just listened to a song that taught to keep your hand wide open because you can't lose a thing if belongs to you.  Otherwise, throw it away.

But people are not for using and throwing away.  But, the question is, can people really "belong" to us?  We don't buy our mates.  We don't own our families.  People do family cut-offs all the time.  People divorce all the time.  Families break up all the time.  As we look around at our society, we see that ultimately, people are free to roam and live a life without obligation, despite our mores.  And the fact is, people do roam.

But look at those that are very, very successful.  Observe those that are very well respected and loved.  They are mated.  Or they were mated and are widowed.  It really looks to me like it's super important in life to have a best friend who you bond to body and soul.  It's a magical, treacherous, heart-rending attachment because of the fragility of the body.  That person who you are so intertwined with could die, will die someday.  Maybe they will die before you and then you'll be alone.  But, that's not always terrible.  You can feel alone in a crowd!  It all has to do with attachment.

I say, "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all".  And really, if you've never been attached body and soul and had your heart rent in pieces from love, you haven't lived.  Loves hurts and love heals and it ATTACHES.  That's just it's way because of nature.  So, to deny attachment is to deny natural flow.  I want my hand to eventually hold one special hand and risk losing that hand to natural forces so that I can really know what it feels like to be attached at every level.

Namaste.

Creating New Personal Growth

Venus is the planet of Love.  Jupiter is the planet of expansion, wisdom, and higher learning.  Today, the full Moon is in Gemini at the same degree Venus was in in her earlier transit this year.  It's also the same degree Jupiter will be in at 12/21/12.  The astrological aspect is bringing into focus how we can continue to grow personally but remain optimistic.

This has me pondering.  Today, I was putting up flyers for my healing practice at our local university which is the school of my patient who goes there, whose boss is the fellow I am "very attracted to"...or love.  The 2 being connected is all "coincidence" if you believe in that.  I think everything happens for a reason.  Venus-love, Jupiter-higher learning.  And today, all day, I've been thinking about a personality trait I have of being very impatient in personal relationships, but not work relationships.  Why?  How can I grow personally in this area?  How can I become more laid back like my friend who I'm attracted to?  He's Mr. Cool here in town.

I know I am a fairly well liked if not a mystifying person by those who know me fairly well.  I am loved by my family.  But I am a failure at personal relationships with males because I have zero tolerance for how slow they go emotionally.  LOL!!!!!  How many women feel this way?  I'm an empath, so I process things quickly.  Very quickly...and I move on.  That doesn't feel too comfy to a guy.  I want to be kind without being a doormat in a personal relationship.  But I'm very honest and you can count on me to let you know what I really think.

I guess I'll apply to this area, what has helped me succeed in every other area of my life so far...intuition.  The Universe directly communicates to me which way to go.  I just have to listen.  Because when it comes to men...I really don't have a clue.

What Controls Your Health?

http://cen.acs.org/articles/90/i42/Robert-J-Lefkowitz-Brian-K.html

The above link takes you to the article on the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize in Science for 2012.  The announcement of this award woke me up on NPR radio 2 days ago.  It was exciting news to me because for about 2 years now I've been geeked on the theory that the cell receptors of the cell membrane control our health, not our DNA, which is in the nucleus.

In particular, I was reading "The Biology of Belief" by Bruce Lipton, PhD and "The Tao of Physics" by heavyweight Fritjof Capra.  The two works together constitute one, huge, long meditation on the nature of the body as a waveform.  Concurrently, I had been recommending the Blood Type Diet to my patients at Holistic Health Options, G.R. (my clinic).  That diet is based on DNA or blood type.  With this new research, I believe it suggests that our DNA is like an operating system on the computer that is our body.  It helps organize the incoming information but it doesn't control it.  Neither does the operating system control the computer.  The computer is a combination of it's software programs and documents.  But...if you ignore how the operating system is running, it can crash your computer.  The same can be said of your body and it's DNA.  Ok...cognitive dissonance and all that.  Human beings like to just say "Hokum" with no back up if it feels good to them.  Science doesn't work that way.  But frankly, if you believe that, then their DNA WILL control you.  Who would want that?  Does that somehow feel comfy?  It's certainly not freedom over your own body.  The cell receptors are navigating our evolution based on choice.  That oversteps DNA.

We are individuals.  Holistic medicine deals with each person who walks through the door.  "Because each atom has its own specific energy signature (wobble), asseblies of atoms (molecules) collectively radiate their own identifying energy patterns.  So every material structure in the universe, including you and me, radiates a unique energy signature."-Bruce Lipton PhD from "The Biology of Belief"

Below is a picture of the cell receptors that lie in every cell of your body shuttling information from the outside, to the inside and from your mind to your cells.  I think, that this information is going to revolutionize the true meaning of healthcare for the 21st century.
