Below poem as found on “The Sisterhood of SHE” has touched me deeply. On many levels but particularly as a massage therapist, REIKI therapeutic touch practitioner and health service provider.

My strong believe is that healing happens inside of us and through us. Health professionals are actually facilitators nudging us along the way. Would you agree? Just ponder on this for a second: no pill, no therapy, no treatment, no surgery has ever fixed the cause of an issue; they only removed the symptoms.

Cutting out a tumor doesn't remove that what has caused it in the first place. Putting screws into a broken bone enables our bodies to do a proper job but doesn't make the bone whole again. Psychotherapy gives us tools to dig-up deeply rooted emotions and memories so that we can make peace with them.

Healing happens as someone is holding space for us to heal and provides us the assistance to find the path to health that is right for us at that point in time. For me healing is a verb that describes a process happening in my own body, mind and spirit; there is no magic button any health professional can press to MAKE me heal.

My offer to my clients is: with compassion, love and care I am here to hold space for you - if you want me to...

Yours with love, Daniela
