PictureJeong Lee
Hello Maya community! I am pleased to join the staff of practitioners here at Maya Whole Health and to provide a unique therapy that perfectly complements the wide range of holistic health options already offered at Maya.

I am a graduate of Renton Technical College Massage Therapy Practitioner Program and I've been a massage practitioner since 2010, specializing in Bowen Therapy. Bowen Therapy is a gentle effective and therapeutic technique that reactivates innate self-healing mechanisms in the body. This technique is extremely effective on acute injuries, and utilizes specific soft tissue or fascial release and integration techniques.

​Bowen Therapy stimulates specific receptors that enable the body itself to correct dysfunctions and restore homeostasis (balance) on a holistic level. Through treating the cause rather than the symptoms, Bowen Therapy has consistently shown it can have profound and permanent healing and pain relief outcomes. Bowen Therapy treats the whole body with holistic effects are apparent in patients who find resolution to problems above and beyond those for which they have sought treatment, for example lack of energy, stress or emotional issues. This technique and my approach are perfect for the individual looking for a more energetic, integrated, and holistic approach.

Read more below on the benefits of this therapy, then schedule an appointment to see for yourself.

What is Neuromuscular Therapy and Bowen Technique?

This comprehensive program of soft-tissue manipulation balances the body’s central nervous system with the musculoskeletal system. Based on neurological laws that explain how the central nervous system initiates and maintains pain, the goal is to help relieve the pain and dysfunction by understanding and alleviating the underlying cause. Neuromuscular therapy can help individuals who experience distortion and biomechanical dysfunction, which is often a symptom of a deeper problem. It is also used to locate and release spasms and hypercontraction in the tissue, eliminate trigger points that cause referred pain, rebuild the strength of injured tissues, assist venous and lymphatic flow, and 
restore postural alignment, proper biomechanics, and flexibility to the tissues.

Bowen Technique

Bowen Technique is a neuromuscular technique for treating muscular and neurological pain. Gentle stimulation of active trigger points releases muscle tension allowing the body to relax. This also activates the body’s natural healing ability. Short rest periods between moves allow the body to integrate healing. 

Is Bowen Therapy covered by health insurance, PIP, or L&I?

Yes, most insurance plans do provide coverage for Bowen Therapy under a health services umbrella called ‘massage services’.

What age is safe to use Bowen Therapy?
Bowen Therapy is safe, gentle and effective for people of all ages from newborn babies and pregnant women, to the elderly. 

How many Bowen Therapy treatments will I need?
How many Bowen Therapy treatments you need will depends on the severity and length of time of the health issue(s). You may need more treatments if you have long standing and or severe conditions and fewer treatments for more recent and moderate ones.If you are new to Bowen therapy it is best to receive a minimum of 3-5 weekly treatments to 
determine if this therapy will be helpful your specific condition.

How long is the treatment session?
Treatments are up to 50 minutes in duration.

Will I need to undress for Bowen Therapy treatment?
Bowen Therapy can be done over clothing, therefore loose, flexible and thin clothing is most appropriate to wear, i.e. t-shirt, shorts, tights and socks.

How will I know if the Bowen is working? 
During a Bowen treatment it is common to start feeling more mentally and physically relaxed after about 15-20 minutes into the treatment.  However, since the effects of the treatment usually continue for the next several significant changes may not be felt until several days later or several treatments depending how strongly the body responds to each treatment.

What instructions do I need to follow after a Bowen treatment?
For maximum benefits:
  •  Avoid strenuous activities for several days 
  •  Drink plenty of water
  •  Walk 10-30 minutes daily
  •  Avoid ice or heat

Will Bowen Therapy solve my health problem?
Bowen Therapy can be effective for most muscle-skeletal conditions most of the time. Many people do report significant improvement or relief of symptoms. If you are not sure if Bowen may be helpful for you, please contact the clinic to consult with the Bowen practitioner.

How much does a Bowen treatment cost?
One session is $85 if paying by cash, however if you have health insurance it may be covered under your health insurance, PIP, or L&I.

What Do We Find When We Seek? Connecting with Kristen

Hello Valued Maya Whole Health Community,

For those of you who do not yet know me, I am proud to be the Program Manager for Maya Whole Health. One of my favorite things to do is to learn. I fell in love with yoga 15 years ago and find the constant learning that occurs in my practice inspiring and motivating. My hope is that, through the programs we offer here at Maya you will also have this opportunity to light your own way in life and get inspired to live well and be kind to yourself.
I probably love my job most because I get to take the workshops that we offer and continue to learn every day at Maya. In order to keep bringing you workshops and classes you'll grow in, I need to ask questions:
What inspires you?
What would be the most useful practices for you?
What gives you peace in mind, body and spirit?
What do you want through your yoga practice?
What do you need to grow and create who you want to become?


Maya Whole Health is in this to support the wellness and growth of our community and I am always listening for your ideas and finding instructors who can answer your questions or help to map your life and health goals. To the best of my ability I aim to bring amazing people whose lives have been altered in some way by a practice that spoke deeply to them and now they teach and inspire others.

Picture
​The workshops and class series on our schedule give you the opportunity to go further or get started and tune into you. Workshops bring in new voices and experiences and give you insights into yourself that can serve to influence your day to day practice, and your day to day life. From understanding Shamanic practices, learning how to let go in Trance Dance, or discovering the basic of yoga in Yoga Essentials,  I strive to bring diversity and substance. 

The series classes give you a chance to start something, see it through to the end, and witness your own growth. They give you the chance to add a new class time to your carefully budgeted routine and commit for shorter periods, building whatever it is you choose to build. In these short term classes, you may try on Pilates Equipment for size, or get moving again in Re-Entry to Fitness. Whatever your goals, a class series may be the ideal kick-start you need. Some classes are such a big hit, we put them on the regular schedule!

I hope that you will make the time to try one of the workshops or series offered here at Maya. Bring a friend and it becomes even easier to keep the goals you set and take the risks that will help you grow. Be sure to register early, this ensures minimum attendance requirements are met so workshops and series classes continue to populate the schedule and return again and again.

Our full schedule of workshops and class series can be found on our website. Stay tuned to this blog to learn more about upcoming workshops and classes as well as meet the wide array of teachers that guide your path and unlock your potential.

See an upcoming workshop you'd like to spread the word about?
Here are a few ways you can assist Maya in maintaining strong workshop offerings:

  • Share with friends and family on social media and Invite them to join you. We usually have a FaceBook event link that you can use for easy sharing. Or, share our blog.
  • Consider the questions above, then let us know what you want. Provide ideas and suggestions at front desk or        e-mail me directly:  [email protected]

Shape Shifting Energy :: Connecting with Lynn Brown

1/14/2016

“We manifest our reality, which is from a place of unlimited resources. There is not a limit of abundance in the universe. There is a limit on the understanding of the power of our minds and our energy blueprint".-Lynn Brown

I am an intuitive, energy healer and medium with a versatile background in finance, athletics and leadership. As the owner of Intoit Apparel and RaaNess of Life, LLC, I work with individuals, teams, and groups to enhance lives, heal ailments, and increase their overall ability to manifest the life they desire.  I host “Get Intoit- Winning at the Game of Life,” a radio show that focuses on bringing the magic of soul into various aspects of your day to day life. My management and coaching background enable me to teach spirit tools in an understandable way that you can immediately use; helping you remember how to connect with yourself as a spiritual being with natural spiritual abilities.

Born and raised in the small western town of Winthrop, WA, in the heart of the Cascade Mountains, I grew up playing in the dirt, hunting, fishing, and playing every sport I could. In grade school, I planned to be a professional quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, but basketball ultimately caught my heart. From Jr. High through College, I travelled the United States and the World playing basketball, sometimes living out of a suitcase for weeks at a time. From a young age, I've brought these unique experiences to my community; coaching, mentoring, and educating young people on the importance of leadership, teamwork, and confidence. Whether playing Division I basketball in college or as a coach and mentor to other collegiate athletes and local youth, I help sculpt the lives of others and guide them forward on their pathway to success. I realize that only a small percentage of people can be influenced through basketball, but that everyone has a personal legacy that they are actively living into. I use my unique background in finance, athletics, leadership and intuitive training as a rare skillset with which I can help you live into your full potential.

If we are to become prosperity, we must learn to be the vibration of prosperity. Just as we match and learn from ascended masters, so too can we do this with the vibration, and as I like to call it, "consciousness" of ANY thing. 
Let us learn to match the vibration and consciousness of gold, silver, platinum and then money itself in order to invite in and allow more of ALL the richness on the planet. 

In my upcoming Maya workshop, you will begin to understand how to shape shift your energy. Allowing you to "become" that thing that you are trying to become. This is not viewing something as over "there" and you are "here". It is literally merging with the energy and inserting yourself into the consciousness of that thing. It essentially allows you to view existence from the perspective of "that thing" just as you view your life through your eyes. It allows you to "feel" its experiences just as you feel your experiences. It allows you to "know" that thing and its relationship with all things just as you know yourself and your relationship with all things.

Creating the Vision:: Connecting with Terry Gough

12/30/2015

 
PictureTerry Gough
When it comes to manifesting desires, often having a visual reference is a handy way to "see" your future. New Years are about clean slates, new directions, or even the ignition of a favorite old hobby. Maybe you have an idea of how you'd like the next year to look, but are still scattered on the details. Or, you know exactly what you want and creating a road map might help guide the universe that way.

PictureVision Board
Creating a Vision Board can fulfill several functions:
  • Specific goals; write a novel, run a marathon
  • Intentions; get in shape, plant a garden
  • Ideas: design a tree house, build a sanctuary
  • Dreams; vacations, careers, family
  • Change; deepen spirituality, define peace

Build one or more, the possibilities are not only endless, they are all yours.

On Friday January 1st, I am offering a workshop that will include yoga, meditation, and of course, creating your vision board. Join me from 11:00am-1:00pm and start 2016 with intention!

Seasonal Medicine:: Connecting with Dr. Sean Bradley

12/29/2015

 
Picture
Winter is right around the corner. On December 22, we moved from Autumn to Winter, getting ready for 3 months of cold, wet weather. Although you may get out the blankets, coats, and hats, you may not make the internal changes needed to see you through the season.

Winter is a heavy, silent time of year. It's a time of hibernation, of going inside, both physically and energetically. Adapting to the change in season is an age old practice, but how many actually do? Have you taken the steps to ensure your health and well-being throughout?

PictureDr. Sean Bradley
As a doctor of Naturopath and Acupuncture I have developed a workshop around seasonal medicine designed for winter time wellness.  What can my workshop teach you?

  • Learn how to bring your body into harmony with seasonal shift into winter. 
  • Discover healing methods from a Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine perspective.
  • Learn how these seasonal changes affect your health, and how you can better prepare to stay healthy.

 3:00-4:30 pm
