(Compliments of Larry and Elvire van Leeuwen-Smith)

is a laying-on of hands in a non-invasive
technique employing human energy transfer.
Trauma Touch Therapy
practioners encourage empowerment and choice in patients
assisting the patient in accessing a bodily experience in a safe environment.
Trigger Point Myotherapy
is a technique for locating and applying pressure to defuse
trigger points in muscles. Trigger points, caused by any type of trauma, are highly irritable spots that
may only be
"fired" by certain emotional
and physical conditions. These points are determined and pressure is applied to relieve them.
Yoga/Yoga Therapy

and spiritual self-discipline through exercise, meditation and diet. Yoga can improve problems with
infertility, arthritis, high cholesterol, back pain, high blood pressure and limited mobil flexibility.
