Living With Intention

Why should YOU live with intention? Because by living with intention your life becomes more open to the manifestation of your dreams. By allowing your intentions to be your compass, you can direct your energy toward a more fulfilling way to live. The way to live that will lead you to your life's journey and purpose.

Hello and thanks for visiting my site! The purpose of this space is to help you to find your path....to assist you in getting back to the basics of who you are and why you are on this Earth. Can you honestly say you feel like you have a true purpose? Or do you feel as if you are just moving through each day with too many tasks and not enough time, always on the go and not necessarily going anywhere in particular?

Here's a question I would like you to ponder....
What truly makes you happy?
What do you do on a daily basis that fills your "gut" with joy? What do you do, that when you do it, the core of who you are sings with happiness?

This isn't necessarily something that involves solving the world's problems!

I mean, something little, that not one other person has to witness or be involved in....
So maybe it's growing a plant or flower, maybe it's really truly witnessing a bird in flight, listening to it's wings move through the air, maybe it's watching your dog run and play with reckless abandon.....
maybe it's sitting in complete silence and allowing your mind to be free of cares and worries, thoughts and concerns, totally focused on the breath that moves in and out of your body, giving you life.

Ask yourself this question...What makes me happy? What little thing can I do today to bring myself joy, peace and happiness? Even if it's for 15 minutes, look for the chance, anywhere you go, whatever you do, your opportunity is there....just waiting for you.

Live THIS day with the INTENTION that you will find this one little thing, your time, your secret, your choice to be with YOURSELF and discover that feeling inside that warms your whole being and heals your heart and body.....THEN BREATHE IT IN AND LET IT BE INSIDE YOU for just a little bit....

About Marci

Marci grew up in a little town in Iowa. Her family lived in the country with chickens, horses, and dogs! Marci's Mom had a huge garden in the back of their old farmhouse where she grew all the vegetables the family of 6 needed to live on. Each evening as her Mom came home from work, Marci would go out back with her Mom and pick whatever veggies were needed for the evening meal. During the day in the summertime, Marci would find herself roaming the countryside near her home, playing in nature, the creek, the pasture, the field, picking wild mushrooms, rhubarb...running free with her dogs. Growing up in the midwest, with strong family and work values, gave her the foundation and love for nature, animals and people that has made her passionate about life. After moving to Florida in 1979, Marci began another phase of living that involved the beach life! She continued to love the outdoors and the activities involved in being outdoors. So she decided to pursue an education in the exercise field. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree with an emphasis in exercise physiology from the University of North Florida, Marci started her career at the fitness center of San Jose Country Club, beginning as a personal trainer and special programs coordinator then eventually moving into the directorship. Later she was involved in sales and continued her career at the Jacksonville Beaches as a Licensed Massage Therapist certified in Neuromuscular therapy. In the meantime, she began to experience the beautiful path of Yoga. Discovering what a deep sense of connection she intuitively had with the beliefs of yoga she pursued a 200 hour certification in Kripalu Yoga. She happily completed her training and is now a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. With additional certifications in Pilates, Spinning and her extensive education of the body, she believes the key to staying healthy and happy is building a foundation of openess, strength and stability in the mind and the body. She follows the theory of an integrated and BALANCED approach to living where “most things in moderation” applies; she emphasizes the mind/body/spirit/nature connection with breath work to keep the body healthy, the mind clear and the spirit free!

About Massage Therapy...

Massage Therapy is a highly underrated form of therapeutic healing of the body and it's muscles, organs and systems. Surprising to many, massage directly affects the lymphatic, circulatory and in some cases respiratory systems of the body. How? By manually manipulating the tissues, including the muscles, tendons, ligaments, organs and FLUIDS of the body.
So often, a client will come to me for treatment without realizing the true benefits of massage. They typically come in needing to de-stress, release tension or for minor aches or pains. My goal is to treat, educate and empower my clients so that they understand the true therapeutic effects of massage, how they can re-train their bodies and live pain free active lives.
Many people complain of "mirgraines"....well, in truth, there are fewer people walking around with true migraines and many more people living with trigger points in muscles that create terrible headache-like pain. These trigger points can also cause dizziness, nausea and sensitivity to light.
The muscles are very powerful parts of our bodies that have yet to be truly recognized by the medical mainstream as valid causes of so much acute and chronic physical problems.
The type of therapy I specialize in is called Neuromuscular Therapy. I am certified in this type of therapy that treats trigger points that create referred pain as well as muscular imbalances and postural distortions. Trigger point "pain" or associated symptoms can also be shown in the body to be such things as ringing or tones in the ears, itching, tingling, numbness and also, dull aching or sharp shooting pain.
