Did Your Doctor Tell You, “It’s Just Because You Are Getting Older”, and Do You Just Accept That as a Good Answer to Your Problem?!
I started out as a very shy, quiet, compliant person. It was very easy for me to have a lot of questions, but to ask a stranger, and elder, or a person in authority was a major challenge for me. It was a huge internal struggle for me to express myself fully, even to close […]
Do You Ever Wonder if You Are the Only One With the Courage to Be Authentic? What Does That Even Look Like in This Day and Age, to Be True to Yourself?
Most of these blog topics come from conversations or questions that occur during treatment with clients, and today’s blog is no exception.

Texas Mothers: Does Back Pain, Combined With All Those Hours Spent Driving Kids Around, Make It Hard to Be Nice? What if There Was a Different Way to Get Help, Without Meds, or Taking All of Your Precious Time?
Pain is hard on the personality, isn’t it? It’s hard to stay nice to those we love the most when we are hurting. Let’s face it, none of us have extra time in the week…we have family to care for–either ageing parents, or our own children. We have the never ending house projects, and this […]

Boerne Office Is New and Improved
This is where we started last Friday, a fully decorated office that was good to go…except to grow, we needed to move to a spot across the parking lot…. so, we started the undecorating, moving the light stuff on Friday afternoon to the new space. Leaving the old space looking very sad… the movers came […]
Looking Back, and Moving Forward…
I don’t really like to move, but our little office has done that 3 times in the last 6 years…it’s a little busy this week, so for the blog, I thought I would share where we have been, and where we are going. I moved to Boerne in 1998 and worked for others as a […]
