Journey Forth

Melanie Shortridge

Hello all!


I know it's been awhile. I started this website and blog and thought that I would be keeping up with it regularly. Ha. The clinic has been busy and so has my journey. I'm so excited to share with you the new direction I'm headed and why it will benefit you in more ways than you expected.


The past three years have been massive growth for me and so many. I have talked with and seen many people struggling to make good physical, nutritional, and mental decisions. We have been divided by health guidelines, social dis-ease, and misunderstandings. I think creating a safe space of healing on many levels is the direction we all need to head towards.


I have gradually made my clinic into a one-on-one bodywork healing session. Am I a physical therapist? Yes, and... At this point, I have training in physical therapy, massage therapy, cupping, osteopathy, sound healing, nutrition, and even shamanism. I am moving more towards all around healing, linking mind, body, and spirit. Many of us who live with chronic pain not only have areas of scar tissue and stuck fascia but also emotional ties and poor nutrition that are limiting our body's ability to heal. My goal is to create many avenues of healing because there are so many things we get hung up on! I will continue to offer my manual therapy sessions for hands-on holistic healing with the addition of more avenues of healing as well.


Starting in August, I will be offering sound baths. This is a beautiful way to use powerful musical tones to meditate, center, and discover your deeper emotional connections with pain and ultimately yourself. These sessions will start at a discounted rate as I am getting my certification and I look forward to piquing your interest as this becomes a regular component offered at the office. The session will include not only the sound bath but also a food offering as well as we all sit around to connect and discuss what we just felt or learned through the sound healing. These sessions will include a food offering and will be themed to optimize healing. Contact the office directly for sign ups in the meantime.



Also coming soon is something I am calling "Dr Mel's Pantry." As many of you know, I have been eating a strictly paleo diet for a few years now because of my dietary restrictions that I've discovered. I have baked and brought goodies to office and it has been requested frequently to offer these goodies regularly. Well, it's going to happen! I will have a cabinet set up with whatever goodies I bake for the week and we will see where the demand leads. I am hoping that others value dairy-free and gluten-free goodies as much as I do. I am happy to take orders for other food restrictions as well. This will be a journey to see how much and how frequently people might like food from the Pantry.



Stay tuned as I have many exciting offerings coming your way to encourage your healing journey. To health and love!


Melanie
