For the last year, most of my days have been spent in massage therapy classes or studying, to absorb and retain all the information presented. I had multiple courses in Anatomy and Physiology, as well as classes in Pathology, Business, Kinetics, Stretching, and of course, various types of massage. I am happy to share that I passed with very high marks, and now the classroom chapter is complete.
During much of this year, many of you have received free massages in my home or at Unity Temple on the Plaza. I want to thank all of you for your support in whatever form it has come. Your encouragement, patience, and trust gave me space to learn, practice, and grow. So, I can’t thank you enough.
Over the next two months, I’ll complete my time at Wellspring School of Allied Health by working in the clinic. My clinic schedule varies week to week but is likely Monday through Wednesday. You can contact the school Monday – Thursday at (816) 361-7733 or Book an appointment online. I will also continue to offer free massage in my home during this time –Thursday through Saturday, as usual.
With your help, I have developed a whole-person modality I call SoulBody Integration. This begins with a spiritually focused, compassionate conversation about what’s happening with you and your body, followed by bodywork that may include Reiki, various types of massage, and CranioSacral Therapy (a gentle neuromuscular technique designed to release tension on all levels). It is an etheric experience that’s different for everyone and it must be felt to be understood.
Until my graduation in November, I will continue to offer free massage, while gratefully receiving any energy exchange you may wish to offer. I will also be offering chair-massage at Unity on the Plaza and the Fillmore Café at Unity Village. After November, chair-massage will still be free and my fee for SoulBody Integration will be $90 for any session – 60 to 90 minutes. Each session will be shaped by your needs in the moment.
To honor the sacredness of my home and my work, I offer sessions on a referral-only basis. So, I invite your help in spreading the word. If you appreciate what I do, please let your family and friends know about me. And don’t worry. I will always have time for you.
By the way, you may have noticed the new email address. Foster Wellness has been dissolved to make room for Foster Wholeness — a name that reflects what has always been at the heart of my work. Please be sure to update your contacts so we can stay connected.
As I step into this next chapter, I am deeply grateful for the ways you’ve supported and encouraged me. I look forward to continuing to serve you and those you love. May our work together bring healing, wholeness, and peace.
