About Marilyn
I have been a nurse for over two decades and a massage therapist for 10 years. I have clinical experience in internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics, orthopedics, triage and mental health and continue to enjoy association with many fine practitioners in the area and nationally. Certified from the American Board of Case Management I have over six years in clinical case management with special focus in patient education in chronic disease management. Both careers in conventional and alternative medicine have married to create a holistic complementary approach to health care and are a solid foundation from which I work from and care for you.
I am a Certified Medical Massage Practitioner with special training in the Zero Point Cranial Release Method, Meridian therapy, EFT, bio-energetics, electro-acupressure stimulation, Chinese cupping, warm/cold stone therapy, prenatal massage, essential oils and aromatherapy.
I am a birth and post partum doula and a member of DONA International. A birth doula is a person trained and experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after childbirth. A post partum doula support women and families through the transformation that a new baby brings to a family. I am also a Certified HypnoBirth Childbirth Educator and Practitioner teaching the Mongan Method. The Mongan Method is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. The concept of HypnoBirthing is not new, but rather a “rebirth” of the philosophy of birthing as it existed thousands of years ago and as it was recaptured in the work of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, an English obstetrician, who, in the 1920s, was one of the first to forward the concept of natural birthing. The method teaches you that, in the absence of fear and tension, or special medical circumstances, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labor. I work as a private teacher as well as with groups and also teach for the Heart2Heart Birth Center.
I am a licensed minister with a PhD in Universal Sciences and energy work with a specific focus that creates a bridge between the psycho-spiritual root causes and the manifestation of physical dysfunction from the Source Legacy Foundation. I write supplemental articles on health and wellness and teach the processes from The Source Legacy Workbook.
I am the mother of two daughters Chloe and Katie and have been committed to marriage for 25 years to my partner and best friend Dale. My family has been the greatest work I will ever do.
