OUR VISION AND PURPOSE

   Our Mission at A Gathering Place includes:

• Healing and Massage Education
• Becoming Community
• Community Service 

As we work on our Healing Journey, we can hold a space for others to find healing.
As we study hard, we find success through our tests and on Boards, as well as in our profession, with a career we Love!

As we become "community" to one another at school, the touch of our loving hearts and healing hands ripple outward and affect everyone we encounter.

As we open our hearts to the transforming power of love and healing, we desire to give back to others through community service and education.  We educate others about: how to live healthy lives, how to find ways to deal with the stressors of life, and how to accept ourselves as unique and precious, just as we are.

Come visit us and see all we have to offer at A Gathering Place~ 

 We offer cutting-edge information about healing~

The trailer for "BreakThrough" a consciousness movie is out!
The movie is set for release in 2010.  The vision of Michal Abney in this documentary will have everyone talking about healing and consciousness. [You can see the Trailer when you select the hyperlink in the word "BreakThrough".]
As bodyworkers, we see the connection between the body-mind and we know how emotional pain becomes embedded in the physical. This movie offers stories of people and the Teachers who help us break free as we break through the pain and hurt that affects us. 

    Witness the Feedback from those who have seen the Trailer. We are excited to see
    this movie get the word out about how we as massage therapists and bodyworkers
    help others learn to let go of their tension and pain.

 Sound Therapy and Healing
We use a VibroAcoustic Sound Therapy Table with some of our Professional Treatments.  Science has shown how cells resonate with the vibration of music, chanting, and toning. If the cells lose their natural rhythm and become chaotic, their function can be impaired. We use crystal singing bowls, metal singing bowls from Nepal, and our VibroAcousticTable (VAT) to boost immunity and entrain our cells into harmony and wholeness. 

We are using music created by Nutri-Energetics Systems (NES) where music is encoded with information designed to enhance well-being.  This bioenergetic information is provided by visionaries Harry Massey and Peter Fraser, who discovered how bio-information informs and directs the human body-field.  The music is designed to activate our natural self-healing abilities.

 "Anyone can be taught to rub sore muscles
but few learn to truly touch a soul.

Thank you for choosing
to share your
compassionate touch with others.

You are a healing presence
in a world hungry for Love."
