– alternative boarding schools and schools with therapy.
Should you need help finding affordable boarding schools, boarding schools for boys, boarding schools or schools for troubled teens, please let us know. As the parent of a troubled teen, you’re faced with even greater challenges. This is especially true if your teen is abusing drugs or alcohol. A troubled teen faces behavioral, emotional, or learning problems beyond the normal teenage issues. While any negative behavior repeated over and over can be a sign of underlying trouble, it’s important for parents to understand which behaviors are normal during adolescent development, and which can point to more serious problems.

Ojai Mayor Pro Tem William Weirick holds a shirt extolling the need to support backyard beekeeping at Tuesday's Ojai City Council meeting.
With no opposition from members of the City Council, and much support from members of the general public, the Ojai City Council on Tuesday night approved a measure that directs the city attorney to draft a new ordinance to allow backyard beekeeping within city limits.
Mayor Pro Tem William Weirick brought the item before the council for discussion. He said the draft ordinance still has a series of checks and balances to go through, to allow for careful consideration and public discussion, but he expects it will be passed.

Standing in front of the group, begin by pointing up in the air towards the right or left. Follow up with verbal prompts so that athletes follow steps appropriately. When you point your finger in a certain direction, outfielders should dropstep in that direction. When you yell "crossover," athletes should take their crossover steps... and on "go," athletes are to take two or three running steps.
Move athletes into one line with the first outfielder stepping out in front of you. Begin by pointing a baseball in one direction (right or left). The athlete is then to dropstep and crossover in appropriate direction as you reach back and throw an easy pop fly.
Involve fly balls off of the bat only after fundamentals are solid.

In Building a Bug Out Bag Part I we discussed why building a Bug Out Bag is important and what type of bag to select. In Part II we discussed the Transportation Items to consider for your Bug Out Bag. Today we’ll discuss Water preparedness and Water items to consider including when building a Bug Out Bag. Remember, this is your last ditch, carry on your back, walk away from trouble Bug Out Bag…not what you hope you can get to your bug out location if your car, SUV, or semi-submersible speedboat makes it.
Water is the one thing that you won’t be able to carry three days worth with you if you are forced to resort to bugging out by foot. Three days worth of water would weigh over 25 lbs per person at one gallon per day or 12.4 gallons if you’re planning on just a half gallon per day. You should carry as much water as you can comfortably carry though. You can buy survival water boxes and pouches, but as long as there’s a functioning tap and you have canteens (or 1 to 2 liter soda bottles that you’ve washed out with soap and water) there’s no need to buy ‘survival water.’ Make sure to rotate your stored tap water frequently (no less than twice a year and more often if it is subjected to high temperatures). You can also pack bottled water but the disposable bottles aren’t very durable so make sure that you carry a more durable water container or canteen to fill up as you bug out…preferably one that’s unbreakable or even capable of boiling water in.
Boiling: Boiling should almost certainly be one of your purification options because boiling doesn’t take as many specialized supplies as the other water ‘purification’ methods . However, remember that boiling takes time, could potentially compromise your location (if you’re laying low) through light and/or smoke being visible. Make sure that you have a metal container like a canteen cup capable of holding your water as you boil it. If you don’t want to spend any money than just clean out a tin can and use it as your boil pot.
Water Purification Tablets: Tablets are available from camping stores and the camping aisles of many national chain discount stores. Read the instructions carefully and expect a ‘taste.’ Treatment generally takes about 30 minutes. Monitor your tablet’s expiration dates.
Chlorine Drops: Common, unscented liquid bleach in a dropper bottle is another treatment option that’s cheap to put together with a new dropper bottle from the drug store and that bottle of unscented liquid bleach you should have at home anyway…no, not for laundry but to purify water if you bug in. Chlorine will lose it’s effectiveness much more quickly than water purification tablets so I encourage you to spend that little extra money if you want a treatment option and but the tablets. You can read more about treating water with chlorine HERE.
Note: There are also battery operated UV treatment options like the SteriPEN. I’ve chosen to steer clear of relying on battery powered options.
Straw Type Emergency Water Filter : These are generally inexpensive, disposable filters for drinking directly from contaminated sources using the filter as a straw. I have several of these and am a little leery of their use but carry one when I’m traveling by plane and can’t carry a full Bug Out or Get Home Bag.
Water Filter Bottle : These multi-use bottles allow you to scoop water directly from the contaminated source and drink filtered water immediately. These filters tend to look a lot like a sports bottle and are relatively durable. They cost two to three times what the straw filters do but are much more durable and are worth a look. The top of the line filter bottle is the Berkey Bottle .
Backpacking Type Filters: These filters weigh a great deal more than the other filter options mentioned but are much more long lasting. With these filters will provide you a more robust capability that will last long after you reach your bug out location. Katadyn is a quality manufacturer. I use the Katadyn Hiker Pro Microfilter.
Check back tomorrow for Building a Bug Out Bag – Part IV when we’ll discuss Food Preparedness for your Bug Out Bag.

Notes: This week is the last of the 52 weeks project and I had this idea cooked up (if you’ll pardon the pun) for a while. Just needed Christmas Dinner to be presented on the table! So here you are, Dinner Deconstructed, for 52 Weeks 2018 – Topic 42, Still Life With Five Objects.
Notes: I’m not usually in the habit of eating five fish fingers for tea, but they had been in the freezer for a while and needed eating up… so I thought I would jokingly use a picture of them in the grill for Treasure Hunt Theme #30 – Five A Day.
Notes: Don’t you just love a nice, fresh fig?
Notes: An AFOL friend has just returned from the LEGO House in Denmark, and they were kind enough to bring me this mug. Tea tastes great from it! Perfect for 52 Weeks 2018 – Topic 19, New.
Notes: A few weeks ago I helped look after a friend after a small operation. Today, as a thank you, she treated us both to a lovely High Tea at Merrymeade Tea Room, which is in the stunning Merrymeade House, now part of the Brentwood Buddhist Community. We were given delicious cakes and sandwiches, and needed a doggy bag to take away the leftovers! The remaining cakes will give us an afternoon treat for a day or two yet.
Notes: Putting a chicken in the slow cooker is my idea of easy cooking – leave it for 12 hours and it’s done to perfection! Yum.
Notes: It’s still so hot I barely know what to do with myself. But having just got home from a week away, one of the things I needed to do was go food shopping. I came back with the ingredients for this delicious summer salad. Yum.
Notes: Another day spent trying to keep cool indoors. But it’s not working very well. One thing I find when it’s too hot is that I’m not very hungry, so this was a nice snack of tasty Double Gloucester cheese on bikkies – perfect for Treasure Hunt Theme #20 – Cheese & Biscuits.

All of a sudden, you're both feeling a strange, interesting and slightly unsettling urge welling up from deep inside you. If you find yourselves feeling upset, confused or indecisive about how you feel about the relationship and where it's going, take it as a sign that it's time to deepen your connection. You may worry that things need to change in a big way, but that's not necessarily true.
Over the next year or two, you should both focus not so much on changing your connection, but on the real truth of why you're connected in the first place. What is it that's held you together for all this time? It's not just circumstance or external factors, even if you might think it is. No, there's much deeper tissue there between you, and now you're being called upon to figure out exactly what that is. This period may not be easy, but it will be enlightening. Emotional truths about your relationship will come to light, which could be an upsetting experience in the moment -- but in the long run, you'll come through this period with a much deeper and more spiritual sense of your love for each other, and an abiding reason to stick to it.

Perhaps more than any other age group, 8- to 12-year-olds are investigators of sorts, discovering their strengths and weaknesses and how they fit into the world. Sylvie Weil reinforces this idea in My Guardian Angel (Arthur A. Levine), which tells the story of Elvina, an 11th century Jewish girl who secretly cares for a wounded Christian Crusader despite fears of what his compatriots might be planning for her community. The Shadows of Ghadames (Delacorte), by Joëlle Stolz, is set 800 years later in Libya, yet 12-year-old Malika finds herself in a similar situation. She longs to travel and study like her father and brother do, but as a Muslim female, she isn’t allowed. When an injured man in trouble is taken into her home, however, her world broadens a bit more.
A retelling of Miguel de Cervantes’ Tales of Don Quixote (Tundra) packs the title character’s deeds into 200-odd pages, just one-fifth of the original work. Barbara Nichol’s treatment, however, captures the spirit of the aging knight-errant determined to right all the wrongs—some imagined, some not—that he comes across. The adventures of the orphaned Stephen Lansbury are, on the whole, less imaginary but just as bizarre. In The Valley of Secrets (Simon & Schuster), by Charmian Hussey, young Stephen unexpectedly inherits a strange estate after an unknown great-uncle dies, and he must use the uncle’s diary about a trip through the Amazon to unravel the supernatural goings-on.
The 11-year-old in Joan Givner’s Ellen Fremedon (Groundwood) sometimes wishes she were an orphan because her bratty twin siblings always seem to be getting in the way. Ellen’s biggest worry, though, is that she won’t be able to put enough interesting tidbits into the novel she’s writing—until the twins go missing after looking into an environmental threat to their community. In Sammy Keyes and the Psycho Kitty Queen (Knopf), it’s the cats who are disappearing. Wendelin Van Draanen’s ninth Sammy Keyes mystery has the skateboard-riding girl detective contending with an increasingly vicious school enemy while figuring out why large numbers of neighborhood felines are unaccounted for.
It’s no mystery where Indigo Casson has gone: He was taken out of school for a semester to recover from mono. Indigo’s Star (Margaret K. McElderry), Hilary McKay’s sequel about the Casson family, opens with the middle schooler dreading his return to a place where he’d been relentlessly bullied. Yet aided by a new student and his precocious youngest sister, Rose (the Casson kids are all named after paint colors), Indigo learns to stand up for himself. The title character of Becoming Naomi León (Scholastic), by Pam Muñoz Ryan, must do the same after her alcoholic mother shows up (following a seven-year absence) and disrupts Naomi’s happy life with her younger brother and great-grandmother. When Naomi discovers the courage hinted at by her name, she not only reclaims her family but also expands it, establishing a relationship with her father, who had been kept from her.

Sometimes an expert is in your own backyard.
Mark's father is not only a constitutional lawyer but he's written a book with an extensive legal analysis of past presidential impeachment proceedings and even the attempted impeachment proceedings to remove presidents.
But worried it was one of those shouting match shows on cable television, Mark's father, Arnie, initially rejected our show's invitation to join the show hosted by his own son!
After it was explained that we wanted a civilized conversation to address all the impeachment talk, Mark's dad agreed to give us a bit of history and handicap the reality of any actions rising to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors".
The show starts with a a brief introduction and then The Fast 15 with Michael Shure talking politics, Russia and then making way for impeachment talk.
Comedians Laura House and J. Elvis Weinstein join Mark Thompson for the conversation with his father, Arnie.
Then they share facts about their own parents including one being eerily near JFK's assassination and the other having tutored Bob Dylan.

Half of HMRC's VAT late-filing fines are incorrect!
A recent article in the i newspaper stated that as many as half of the fines imposed on business for filing late VAT returns may be incorrect. A data request to HMRC by a firm of accountants revealed that in 2013 17,200 appeals were made by businesses against late filing penalties and that 49% of them were successful.
That means that 51% were incorrect and had their appeal upheld!
Businesses automatically receive fines related to their VAT bills when they file returns late although this may not be a financial penalty initially. However if you have an explanation for it being late then you should appeal it because if you are late again you will be more likley to receive a fine.

Half of HMRC 's VAT late - filing fines are incorrect !
 A recent article in the i newspaper stated that as many as half of the fines imposed on business for filing late VAT returns may be incorrect . A data request to HMRC by a firm of accountants revealed that in 2013 17,200 appeals were made by businesses against late filing penalties and that 49 % of them were successful .
 That means that 51 % were incorrect and had their appeal upheld !
 Businesses automatically receive fines related to their VAT bills when they file returns late although this may not be a financial penalty initially . However if you have an explanation for it being late then you should appeal it because if you are late again you will be more likley to receive a fine .

This is a rocking take of Mother, Mother by Dilana from the Rock Star: Supernova contest. What she lacks in skill and musicianship compared to Tracy Bonham, she makes up for with this incredible energy.

I have often asked practitioners what they found the most challenging thing in the entire patient management process.
Over the years I have realised beginner practitioners have challenges in one of the following processes that incorporates a homoeopathic case management.
2) Case analysis that also includes miasmatic totality, susceptibility and prognosis.
3) Creating a Totality of Symptoms.
4) Matching this totality with the most indicated remedies in the Materia Medica – includes use of repertorization process.
5) Differential diagnosis and determining the first prescription and dose.
6) Eliciting Remedy Response and determining the second prescription/s until the case improves completely depending on the scope of homoeopathy.
Personally when I started my practice, the most frustrating part of case management process was matching my totality with the most indicated remedy in the Materia Medica.
While I seemed to do quite well with my case taking and I could even elicit the totality and core essence of a case well, I struggled to find a remedy that matched this state.
One possible reason could be that there were a just handful of remedies that I could say I knew really well in those years and prescribe confidently. While we were "taught" around 400 remedies in my training and were expected to memorize them well, I could never manage to remember them.
I could never understand remedies from reading a book directly because they lacked something. The only remedies that I could ever learn and still remember clearly were those those that were filtered through a clinical case. I found it extremely futile and boring to memorize a set of indications of remedies just because they were dumped together in a book.
Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed the clinical cases from books journals or in lectures. I spent hours going through journals and archived cases to find my remedies. I observed cases being prescribed by my teachers in practice and made sure I recorded the remedy indications and the response that followed during the followups. I would compare cases of the same remedy. The idea was to see the many varied expressions of a remedy in clinic, using various approaches and to really get that depth of the remedy understanding and pathogenesis.
Now this was a slower process and while I knew some remedies really well, my materia medica was quite limited. So it was rare for a remedy to pop in my head as soon as I took the case in my first few years of practice unless I had read or seen it prescribed before.
Hence the only way I could find remedies in most of my cases was by repertorizing and trying newer remedies if they were indicated.
The most tricky part for me was converting the symptoms into rubrics. While the totality of the case was quite clear and depended on the "stage" I took the case at, I wanted to make sure that the rubrics exactly represented the depth, core and essense of my patient's totality.
(For more information on the concept of stages and its relevance in homoeopathic practice, kindly have a read of the free ebook - The Quest for Simillimum on the left of this page).
Over the years after some extensive research into the repertorization process and making many mistakes, I could come to a stage where the process has become much easier. I want to share some hints that have helped me over the years to ensure that one can take the best possible rubrics that are represented in a case.
I will explain this through a case example so you can understand the subtle differences in the type of rubrics chosen, what to take and what not to take in a given patient.
Don't forget to put your thoughts on what you think about this in the discussion forum below.

Just want to say Shilpa ~ a very clear and helpful description on how you found this remedy ( of which I have never used yet in 30 year s) I hope that a case comes my way now ~ all very exciting !
Shilpa Bhouraskar Nov. 13, 2013, 11:33 a.m.
Yes it is one of those remedies that needs to be a polycrest but isn't. I look forward to your experiences.
Sarah Daniel Nov. 12, 2013, 11:01 p.m.
Thanks for going through this case, Shilpa. As you described the dynamics of this emotional sensitivity leading to a diversion into pleasant fantasy I said to myself, I wonder if this could possibly be Pip-m? I have had some success with this remedy and have found that people who need it tend to be almost incapable of solving big problems in their lives (like real happiness at work, or what to do about health problems, or what to do about a relationship) because as soon as they get a signal that something isn't just right, they look away. Can't help it. It's an instantaneous response. I'm very happy to have seen this case of yours; it deepens my learning about how the remedy state might express itself physically, and how the case can be translated into the rubrics so the picture of which remedy is best comes clear.

Thank you for posting such a beautiful wonderful case! You have no idea how much I just learned from you about kava kava. So, I approach homeopathy from a different perspective. In addition to being a homeopath, I am also a pharmacist and a hypnotherapist. I'm also a medical intuitive. My intuitive gifts are auditory, so usually within the first few minutes of someone giving me their case, if their problem stems from a past life trauma, I know what it is. (I do a lot of past life regression in my practice.) I am so glad that the kava kava works so well. I have never studied that remedy, and it makes me think that perhaps kava kava is a wonderful remedy for helping the person forget their past life traumas. I can't wait to read more about the natural history of that remedy. So, I will tell you what I got in the first minute - he was a dog in his past life. He had a wonderful life, and loved the family he was with. His dreams reflect the happy memory of his past life - laying on a lawn, and dreaming of chasing rabbits - his favorite past time.
After they dragged him away by the neck, they shot him in the head- in the temple. They were trying to protect their children - thinking that if he bit an adult, he might bite the children. But he was protecting the children, and he got shot. It was such a shock for him that he carried it with him into his next life.
I am so happy that the kava kava worked! You have given him back his joy and allowed him to live free and happy again. The only thing I would have done differently is that sensing that he had a past life trauma, I would have removed the trauma first with a past life regression so he wouldn't aggravate. (Aggravations are often caused from past life traumas.) But you can always do a past life regression at any time, to remove any subconscious trauma and allow him to get the learning of his past life as a dog!
I have to be honest, I am so sensitive to pain and trauma that I had to turn off the video several times! In fact, I almost didn't listen to the rest of the case, but if I hadn't, I never would have learned that Kava kava helps a person forget their past lives so they can move forward with joy and happiness in their current life. What a wonderful remedy.
I had a hard time listening to him suffer, when he saw his fellow animal friends being butchered, but I'm glad I listened to the entire case, because if I hadn't, I would have never learned about the wonderful useful properties as kava kava on past life traumas!
Kava kava is probably a wonderful remedy for homoepathic physicians, because they have so many people coming to see them, and they don't have time to do a past life regression on everyone with a past life trauma.
Thank you Shilpa, for teaching such a wonderful case, and for teaching me so much about the wonderful properties of kava kava!
Shilpa Bhouraskar Nov. 14, 2013, 11:20 a.m.
Thanks for sharing your insight and offering a fascinating perspective to the case. I have never done or seen past life regression therapy so I will definitely have a read of Brian's work.

A year and a half ago, a new client Johanne White walked through the doors of Body Harmonics. She was petite and a bit nervous, but seemed dedicated to using movement therapy to help heal her body.
Within a few months, we began seeing more and more of her. We had many conversations in passing and over time I had the chance to learn more about her incredible story and how Body Harmonics was helping her overcome physical and emotional pain. I asked if she’d be willing to do an interview and share her story with others. She agreed.
This is definitely a must-read for anyone in pain. Johanne’s commitment and dedication to healing is incredible. She’s gone out on many limbs and overcome many obstacles. Below is just a small piece of Johanne’s fascinating story. I encourage you to spend a few minutes to read this interview I had with her and pass this on to anyone else you feel may benefit from reading it.
Larisa: What brought you to Body Harmonics?
Johanne: Oh my, that’s a long story! Before I came to Body Harmonics, my body systems were shutting down and the doctors couldn’t figure out why. They thought I had Multiple Sclerosis, but it wasn’t it. My entire spine was rotated and had damaged my joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves. This compromised my central nervous system and sense of balance when doing even simple day-to-day activities.
I underwent several surgeries to repair damaged joints and the surgeries caused more damage and rotation to my body. I began to see a neuromuscular dentist, Dr Susan Huxtable. She was great! Dr. Huxtable did an assessment with me and determined a course of treatment that would “unrotate” the spine and provide stability to C1 (top of my cervical spine) which should improve alignment in the body. For many, this may sound a bit unfamiliar and strange as a treatment option, but it really made sense to me so I followed my gut and trusted the process.
I also worked with Dr Tania Siquiera a NUCCA Chiropractor to help shift my spine while Dr Huxtable used dental orthotics to support my skeletal system and move me towards alignment.
The first year I wore an orthotic on my lower jaw and it was modified weekly. Once I was more mobile I was ready to take the next step and find a safe movement and strength-building program. I knew without this my body would not heal as quickly or effectively.
I chose Body Harmonics for my movement and strength training part of my rehabilitation because of the specialization in Neurological programming. I’m so happy I made the right choice.
Larisa: Tell me about the journey you’ve taken at the studio. What programs and services have you used? What’s your experience been? How has it worked with your other treatments and therapies?
Johanne: At first I started with Physiotherapy once per week. After the first month, I was able to add a couple Pilates privates to my weekly routine. A month later, I was done with Physiotherapy and was able to do four Pilates privates per week. It was a lot, but I was motivated to get strong. And I was making progress.
Another month later, I began attending Core Essentials. It’s a spine-safe class that moves slowly and really helps you feel your core. Another month after that, magic happened and I tried a Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) session at the Body Harmonics clinic and was completely blown away. Naturally, I added that to my weekly routine as well.
My next step was to have Dr Huxtable operate on my tongue. It was tied and holding my body in a rotational pattern. This was another way to release and continue shifting my body into better alignment. I continue to undergo weekly adjustments with Dr Huxtable and a cranial sacral practitioner, Jennifer Bond the (both these practitioners are external to Body Harmonics).
Just recently I was able to add a few more group Pilates classes to my weekly routine. It feels so fantastic to keep moving forward on this strength-building journey.
One last piece to my puzzle, is Pilates teacher training. I’ve done a lot of work on myself and about a year into my journey at Body Harmonics, I took some educational workshops offered to Pilates teachers. From these workshops I learned so much I decided to take it a step further. A couple months ago, I enrolled in the Pilates teacher training and certification program. Perhaps one day soon I’ll be able to teach and give back to people.
Larisa: You’ve been on a healing journey for a long time now. What would you say is the biggest difference you’ve experienced at Body Harmonics from other clinics you’ve been to?
Johanne: They keep saying it, but Body Harmonics really does have an integrated approach to wellbeing. I’ve worked with many different practitioners and instructors at the studio and it was the first time that everybody I was working with communicated about what was going on in my body. All the Body Harmonics staff, Dr. Huxtable and Jennifer Bond were all on the same page about my progress, collaborated with each other and knew what steps to take next.
Also, both Dr Huxtable and Jennifer Bond have come for Pilates and MAT sessions. They’ve become raving fans and refer clients to Body Harmonics. This means the world to me.
I’ve fallen apart in the past when my past practitioners didn’t communicate and nobody was there to catch me. I’m so blessed my body healing team is now able to communicate openly for my wellbeing. Coming to Body Harmonics, everyone helped me feel safe, supported and strong. My blood is flowing freely and my feet are looking normal for the first time in years. These may seem like silly things to some, but are a HUGE deal to me!
Larisa: That’s great. Some of the smallest seeming things can make the biggest differences to out bodies and wellbeing.
Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is not a practice that many people are familiar with. Tell me a bit about it and what it’s done for your healing process.
Johanne: Oh my goodness! It’s pretty amazing stuff.
First of all, my MAT practitioner SueAnne is the absolute best. My body is hypermobile and constantly changing. When I start an MAT session, my pelvis is usually rotated and I have pressure in my spine. Also, when my dental orthotics are adjusted that really affects me. I’m really sensitive to any twists, kinks and imbalances in my body. When this happens I experience a lot of pain.
SueAnne starts our sessions by taking a look at me and doing some muscles tests. This let’s her know what muscles are strong and which are weak. She uses touch, pressure and careful isometric exercises to help ‘turn on’ my muscles. As she works on me, the muscles in my body get rebalanced, my nervous system settles and I feel lighthearted.
One crazy story is that I had severe stenosis in my cervical spine (neck) and my doctor wanted to fuse it. SueAnne did some work on the muscles at the top of my cervical spine at C1/C2 and they released. After that, my spine healed on it’s own and no surgery was required. Imagine that?
Some days we work on my pelvis, other days on my spine, neck or feet. Even when she works the muscles in my finger it can affect how my neck and shoulders feel. It’s mind-blowing. SueAnne & MAT really supports the massive changes my body goes through every day. This sets me up for success.
By the end of my MAT sessions, my muscles fatigue like I’ve been working out. Although my muscles are tired and worked, they’re not stressed. It feels like my body gains strength and my body knows how to hold itself together.
Straightening out and rebalancing my body has improved my posture and digestive system. I’ve also got feelings in my body where I haven’t in 30 years. Without M.A.T, my rehab would be a lot slower and I’d be in a lot more pain.
Larisa: I’m so happy you’ve had such great success with MAT. It’s sounds like something everybody should learn more about!
Let’s go back to Pilates. What’s that journey been like?
Johanne: We all hear that the body needs to stay strong to function, but I really saw firsthand how much my body loves to move and how much my muscles love to be stimulated. Sometimes things take time to click for me, but I know if I can feel or sense something once, even a little something, it can heal.
My Pilates sessions not only make me strong in my body, but present little challenges for my brain. I like to learn and think and am excited to be able to have this extra stimulation. I’m like a kid in a candy store.
I walk out of the studio with my head up and a spring in my step. My balance is better and I’m not nearly as afraid of falling. It’s terrific and I feel so much more confident.
Something that was a bit surprising is how in-tune everyone is about the body and how it works. And they’re excited to share with me. I’ve learned a lot about anatomy, biomechanics and fun facts. For example, two great ways to help stimulate my pelvic floor are by putting my tongue on the roof of my mouth or working the arches of my feet. It’s a great example of how Pilates works my body from head to toe!
Larisa: You’re now doing several classes a week in addition to your other therapies and Pilates private sessions. Tell me about that.
Johanne: Going to class was a bit scary at first, but is now exciting. I’m actually doing 4 intermediate level group classes on the mat and Pilates machines. Doing a lot of privates has taught me a lot about what my body should be doing and feeling.
Larisa: What else would you like to share with our readers?
Johanne: I feel incredibly blessed to have such an amazing team supporting me: SueAnne, Andrea, Jocelyne, Danielle, Elizabeth, the front desk and everyone else I get to work with are top notch. It’s only been a year and a half and I’ve come so far in the gains I’ve made.
Some of the words to describe what I have experienced from everyone I’ve worked with are gracious, supportive, positive, encouraging, knowledgeable, above and beyond, accommodating, passionate, learning, sharing, uplifting, fun, laughter, joy, bliss and tons of love! I could go on, but I think you get the point.
I’ve also found an amazing community of people at Body Harmonics. I spend a lot of time there and have made many friends with clients and instructors. We speak about classes, go for coffee and even teacher training workshops together. It’s so amazing to spend time with like-minded people who are health conscious and interested in learning and bettering themselves in each in their own way. I’m happy to celebrate this special place.
I hope everyone has a chance to experience Body Harmonics. Come for a class, try a private session or check them out online to connect with the gifts they offer the world. They really do care and I hope you get a chance to experience the power of Body Harmonics for yourself.
I’m so happy you interviewed Johanne. I had asked her many moons ago if she’d be willing to share her story and she had said yes. I’m very glad it happened. The progress I’ve seen Johanne make has been truly remarkable. She is a beautiful strong woman inside and out and I hope this story can help others find hope.
What an inspiring story. So glad that Johanne found BODY HARMONICS. Her persistence and discipline are also key ingredients to her transformation. Congratulations both!
Johanne, it is amazing to see how far you have come! You always bring such a positive attitude with you to the studio. You show that anyone can achieve their goals once they put their mind to it, I look forward to seeing you teaching soon!!
