Maria Theresa Larsen Grace Note Healing Arts

I am a western educated physician.  My degrees are oriented to human and biological sciences. I love that this is so.  It gives me a practical base of orientation to what I do to assist you with what you need to find your own inner balance. Hard science knowledge gives me a wonderful left brain sense of what my right brain intuits about your unique complexity.

I am a Cranio-Sacral Therapist and in my Shamanic Ministerial work I specialize in Sound Healing Mediums. I am an initiated and ordained Minister of Shamanic belief and practices.  Shamanism is an orientation to life that recognizes that existence is about constant change and flux.  We are defined as part of  Nature tuned to its cycles of death and rebirth.  A shamanic perspective accepts that there is much more to existence than what  meets the eye or can be explained by rational thought.  My practice orientation embraces this body-mind-spirit concept.

Quartz Crystal Bowls are  instruments which are used to  promote balanced mind-body-spirit function and Well-being. When a Bowl is played, its sound vibrations absorb into the brain and all the major organs of the body through the Chakra Centers.  All chakra’s are interconnected so the balancing of one Chakra center affects the balance of all others.

Samantha Hua, Nutritional Coach

A large part of weight loss and weight management is knowing WHY you eat the way you do.  Knowing what is eating you that compels you to make inappropriate food choices.  What I like about Samantha is that she has a background and degree in biology, and she combines her physiological knowledge with counselling.  So it’s not just a weight loss pill or shake—she shows you how to voluntarily and happily make the best choices for yourself…and allow yourself to indulge from time to time. As she says, it’s all about balance.

Juice +

Hi, I’m Susan Lipp, Health & Wellness Advocate. My degree and background is in marketing, but life and an unexpected ‘gift’ of an immune disease called Multiple Sclerosis drew me to the health and wellness field. I received my diagnosis in 1994, although it is believed I had it since 1978.  Upon receiving the news and reviewing the MRI, I asked the neurologist, “What can I do to help myself?”  And I was told, “Nothing. You will be in a wheelchair in a year.”  I refused to believe this. I did my research and found out that fruits and vegetables could help my immune system repair itself and reduce the likelihood I would have further deterioration.  But I couldn’t eat the daily 7 to 13 servings of different fruits and vegetables the USDA recommends we eat every day (who can?), and my health was unstable. Thanks to a caring friend, I began to eat Juice Plus+® — 25 whole, condensed fruits, vegetables, grains and berries in capsule and chewable form.  I got better.  Much better.  So much better that I became passionate about sharing this simple, yet elegant concept with people. As Hippocrates, the father of medicine shared in 431 B.C., “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Oh, and, by the way, I am not yet in a wheelchair.

Placing Them On A Pedestal Doesn’t Make Them Perfect

Pedestalizing – The act of placing your mate, loved one, child, friend, co-worker or acquaintance on a pedestal; only to discover that they are not Perfect.

When we gain enough courage and open up our hearts to new friendships, relationships, and partnerships, we are making the conscious choice to love/trust again. In the beginning everything is picture perfect and the honeymoon phase is in full bloom. But for some instead of engaging in healthy, productive relationships, friendships or partnerships, they pedalstilize their new mate, friend or partner. And during this time we ignore truths, turn a blind eye to the obvious and walk in ignorance. And for those of us who have endured many heartbreaks, let downs and disappointments, we tend to place our new mate, partner or “friend” on a pedestal. By placing our new mate, partner or “friend” on a pedestal we run the risk of being bamboozled and hurt, let down or disappointed yet again.

So the question is why do we pedalstilize or new mates, friends and partners? Is our fear of being let down, hurt, rejected and disappointed so deeply imbedded within, that we are willing to accept anything and live with lies? Are we so broken within that we tell ourselves that we will not endure another failed friendship, relationship or partnership, so we choose to live in ignorant bliss?

The problem with Pedestalizing someone is that we accept anything b/c of our fears. When we choose to place our new friend, mate or partner on a pedestal we are doing it for our own benefit. It allows us to keep running from our fears and keeps us from facing the truth about ourselves; which is perhaps we are not yet ready to engage in new relationships, partnerships or friendships. Perhaps we have not yet dealt with why our previous relationships, partnerships or friendships did not work and the part that we played in their demise. And perhaps we are not yet ready to love/trust again and instead should be focused on conquering the fears that have our hearts & emotions bound.

Carrie works in the Salt Lake City area of Utah.  She is a kind, giving woman who cares about people.  I met her through a fund=raiser in San Diego for the Rob Benzon Foundation.  She flew out to CA on her own dime to take professional photos of the event.  That tells me volumes about the kind of person she is.
