			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>ROUTINE AND COMFORT</strong></p>
<p>We humans can be lazy; lazy in mind and body!  Most of us love routine and getting into patterns.  There is comfort in this but what it means for our physical body can be destructive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>WHAT ACTIVITIES HAVE YOU CHOSEN?</strong></p>
<p>As a child we roll, jump and play like acrobats.  Nothing seems impossible.As we age we quit throwing our bodies around, We limit ourselves:</p>
<p>-By our choice of jobs: do you sit at a computer all day?</p>
<p>-By our choice of exercise: is your only form of exercise running or cycling?</p>
<p>-By simple lack of enthusiasm: when was the last time you did a random cartwheel in the park?</p>
<p><a href="http://dawnleonard.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMGP9679_21.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-305" title="IMGP9679_2" src="http://dawnleonard.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMGP9679_21-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p><strong>MASSAGE THERAPY CAN BREAK THE CYCLE</strong></p>
<p>I am here to break that cycle.  Reintroduce movement and vitality into the areas of your body that you have forgotten about.</p>
<p>Movement = Vitality</p>
<p>Massage Therapy can get into those joints and remind them to let go of the old patterns.  Just think how great that would feel to again feel freedom and movement in those hips and shoulders.  It’s like scratching an area that you didn’t even know was itchy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>3  BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY</strong></p>
<p>-Reduced musculoskeletal pain and tension</p>
<p>-Increased moblity</p>
<p>-Deep relaxation to aid insomnia, stress and loss of vitality</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Put massage therapy in your life to bring vitality back to your body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>SO HERE WE START</strong></p>
<p>My mission to become the “Breast Whisperer” began in May of 2010. I signed up for a course with an amazing instructor: Marjorie Haynes RMT. Her course was called the Skeleton and in it I learned new ways to treat the Lymphatic System that has forever changed the way I view and treat the body. These new techniques are now the foundation of my practice and I encourage any RMT out there to check out her courses.</p>
<p><strong>THE BREAST WHISPERER</strong></p>
<p>Ok, now on to the B.W… In that course a friend mentioned Marjorie also taught a very simple self breast massage that literally “plumped” up the breasts. This I had to check out, so I booked an appointment and learned the simplest of self massages and YES it worked! I did it for a few weeks and then it suddenly started to dawn on me there was more to this treatment than just vanity!!</p>
<p>Sure, my breasts looked plumper and firmer but I also got rid of the ridge that had formed from years of wearing underwire bras, my cyst reduced in size and tenderness and my PMS tenderness was almost completely gone. I became confused.</p>
<p>How is it that I am an RMT who does self massage treatments on myself, on almost all parts of my body, but it never for one second occurred to me to do a self breast massage? I would occasionally think about doing a “Self Breast Exam” but would end up just poking around and not really looking for anything because I was too afraid to find something. This is ridiculous. They are right in front of me, the easiest part of my body to do self massage on and I had never thought to massage them. So I asked around and found out no one else was doing it either.</p>
<p><strong>WHERE MY MISSION BEGINS</strong></p>
<p>I believe this is where my mission begins: a moment of vanity that opened my mind to the possibilities of how women can take better care of themselves.</p>
<p>I then became more interested in Breast Health in general. Do you know if you Google breast health it is near impossible to find anything related to this topic that doesn’t mention Breast Cancer! REALLY!!! Health means healthy so let’s remove this idea that whenever we think Breast Health we also automatically think Cancer.</p>
<p>I hope to give women a new perspective on the body: Don’t be afraid to touch yourself! Women can bring back the vitality to the breast tissue with simple self massage. This treatment can help with breast feeding, breast pain, and breast size.</p>
<p><strong>5 Introductory Tips on Breast Health Massage </strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Get to know and love your breasts. Spend a few minutes a few times a week exploring your breasts with your hands. This will get you familiar with your own size and shape.</li>
<li>Start gently, very little pressure is required to change the vitality of breast tissue.</li>
<li>Your Lymphatic System is directly affect by this treatment… do the treatment and see how your energy changes.</li>
<li>Do at night just before bedtime to calm down your nervous system to aid in sleeping.</li>
<li>Commit to 4 weeks and note the changes.</li>
</ol>
<p>My women friends, GO FORTH AND MASSAGE THYSELF!!!</p>
<p>Dare to live<br />
