Mango- massage therapy clinic

Voila!
הקליניקה פועלת כבר זמן מה במיקום החדש אך טרם התפניתי להשוויץ בה (חופשת קיץ של הילדים וכו' 😆).
המיקום החדש מלא בשקט ושלווה וזה מתאים בול עבורי ומטופליי.
אני מלאת הוקרה עבור העזרה שקיבלתי בלתקן לצבוע, לבנות, לסחוב ולהתמודד עם הבלגן ממשפחתי האהובה.
ואני גם מודה על כל אחת.ד ממטופליי שבחרו להמשיך איתי את המסע לחיים בריאים יותר ופחות כואבים.

תודה רבה לכולכם ❤️

Voila!
The clinic has been running for some time now but I haven't had a chance to brag about it yet (kids summer vacation and stuff 😆).
It's quiet and serene here in my new spot and it suits me and my patients just right.
I'm full of gratitude for the help I got fixing, painting, building, carrying and coping with the mess from my beloved family.
I'm also thankful for each patient that chose to continue our journey together towards a healthier and less painful life.

Thank you all ❤️

The countdown continues! 🤩
It's happenning again 🙏 I'm moving my "baby" closer to home, where my heart is.
Hopefully, it will be the last move for the next few good years 😆

הספירה לאחור ממשיכה! 🤩
זה קורה שוב 🙏 אני מעבירה את ה"בייבי" שלי קרוב לבית, היכן ששוכן ליבי. בתקווה שזו תהיה הפעם האחרונה בכמה שנים הקרובות 😆

The worrying starts way before you even get pregnant. Cleaning up your system by decreasing the amount of caffeine you intake, stop habits like smokings and consuming alcohol. Preaparing your body like taking vitamins, prenatals and having genetic checkups and blood tests.
For some women, everything on paper may seem in order but concieving or even managing to carry out a pregnancy till the end becomes a challenge.

I've been blessed to be able to accompany some of my patients through the journey
of becoming a mom and motherhood altogether- listening to aches and discomfort, uncertainty, excitement, odd things our body suddenly does, challenges, moments of pure bliss and so many more. 
When they need me, I'm there to listen intently, treat and advise on how to ease their lower back pain, heartburn, nausea ,swollen feet and ankles, share small tips I've gathered from my and other mamas experiences on what to do before child birth, after that and so on.
From one mama to another, I'm here for you when you need me ❤

XOXO,
Christine.

Recurring shoulder dislocation.
It means living in constant anxiety of it happening again. One wrong move can pop it out of place like picking up your kid, reaching for something random or accidentally bumping into a wall, door, shelf.

At our first theraputic massage session she walked in with an arm sling and told me her medical history and all the check ups she did for her shoulder. I noticed how guarded she was of the area and I reassured her that I will be gentle and attentive. We began and at some point she dozed off and I was pleased because she was finally having some needed rest.
The next morning I advised her to come and get kenisiotape to support her shoulder for a few days till our next session.  "What does it do?" She asked.

Kinesiotape is a strip made out of a hipoallergenic cotton fabric and adhesive. It promotes even blood flow and assists the lympathic system to get rid of toxins that build up. It's like opening another lane when there's traffic.
Futhermore, It has a supporting mental affect like putting a bandaid on a wound. A sensation as if something is always hugging and keeping the area safe.
I applied five strips- three on the deltoid muscle and two more on the scapula and lower trapezius. 

Since then, my patient comes weekly for massage therapy and the following day for kinesiotape. The combination of both has set her mind and body a bit more at ease. It helps her feel more confident to move around freely with her shoulder, more secure and mostly- more relaxed 🙏❤😌

When your body and mind are at peace you are able to heal and recuperate faster ❤

סוף היום,
נחת ושקט בלב ❤

When I arrive to work I smile.
I smile because I love my job.
I smile because I'm proud of where I am.
I smile because of how beautiful everything turned out.
I smile because in my clinic, it doesn't matter if your a CEO or a waitress. You will get the same treatment - as someone who chose to come to get better and feel better.
I smile because I treat with my heart, not only with my hands and knowledge.
I smile because when we're done with our session, you're most likely abit happier, abit more relaxed, abit less in pain. Some even say "like a whole new person".
I smile when the day is over and I lock the door beacuse I know that tomorrow I can do it all over again.

*This is the waiting room in my new spot 🤩 Thanks to the AMAZING design of .

When you see an opportunity grab it by the horns! 😆😊😆

It's a great morning to be alive !

May your day be lively 😄 and lovely 🥰!

About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with SLE- systemic lupus erythematosus. I was 5 months pregnant with my second child at the time.
My kidneys were failing,  I had to get 2 blood transfusion because I had hemolytic anemia (my red blood cells mutated and my body didn't recognize them) and I have vasculitis in my right eye. My immune system was fighting me.
I was hospitalized for 2 weeks and I was home sick.  I couldn't play and hold my son because I was so weak when they came for a short visit. That crushed me to pieces.
One morning, one of my doctor said we need to talk. I was in bad shape and because of my renal failure she told me I have 2 choices. Either keep my baby and get a substitute medication for my kidneys that was less effective. That would mean I would have to come to the hospital every week or so to make sure the placenta was holding up. She also said there would be a risk of birth defects in the heart and brain of the baby and premature labor.
Or... terminate my pregnancy and get the stronger immunosuppressive medication and get to go home.
S**t. How did I get here?? Why is my body failing me?
After a sleepless night and alot of crying I decided to  go with the latter. I decided to say good bye to my healthy unborn baby so I could live to get better and be a healthy mother to the son that was waiting for me at home. I was heart broken and I still am. It is the hardest decision I have ever had to make till this day.
These days, I'm doing really well. The blood tests I have every 4 months are almost always normal. I'm still on medication and slowly lowering the dosage. I have to make sure I maintain a healthy lifestyle. But  I'm still always tired, my skin is super sensitive to the sun and I have to cover up and  put sunscreen otherwise I get a rash. Once in a while,  I have aches here and there.
I have changed a lot of things in my life. I'm more appreciative and thankful to everything and everyone dear to me. I'm more patient and mostly, I get to be a healthy happy mom to my son :)

So..to sum up-
Your body can't live without your soul so make sure your soul is living and whole and happy where it is.

I let my hands guide me. They remember each body and each soul they meet. Even if it's been a few months or we've incountered only once. My hands remember.

When your pothos plant starts going wild and you need to start thinking of adding extentions 😆🌱😌🌿
