For over 40 years I have worked from the knowledge that the body and mind have a natural system of checks and balances. When one gets out of balance, the others will follow, if not corrected. Years of imbalance can lead to years of suffering. That’s why I treat the cause of your imbalance or suffering rather than treating the symptoms. It is common that clients begin to see the light of hope after their first session.
[/vcj_text_block][vcj_text_block paragraph_whitespace=”1″]From these years of experience and learning I founded the MBS Balancing System, a system that works with the natural connections of the mind, body and spirit, and helps people find relief from chronic and long-term pain. On the way, they also find freedom in their body and mind that allows them to feel more valuable and productive.[/vcj_text_block][vcj_text_block paragraph_whitespace=”1″]I am a licensed massage therapist, and a certified Life Coach, having been trained and certified through the Robbins-Madanes Coaching, in Strategic Interventions. I am also “The Man on top of the Mountain” which you can find on YouTube, and the author of the book, “The “C” Word”, a book that will challenge your old thought patterns and help you discover a new way of thinking.[/vcj_text_block][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” css_animation=”fadeIn” overflow=”default” css=”.vc_custom_1549384592617{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}” padding_tablet=”0px 0px 70px 0px” el_id=”faq”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vcj_heading style=”style1″ weight=”300″ size=”xl” animation_speed=”2″ animation_delay=”0″]Here’s the back-story**…[/vcj_heading][vcj_empty_space height=”20px” height_tablet=”15px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

When I was a young man, I knew at a core level there was something very different about me. My thinking about life and people in general was all about discovery and experience. I was having out-of-body experiences at five and six years old. I can remember vividly, experiences that happened as a baby. I also figured out early on that if someone I knew was hurting, all I had to do was touch them or give them a hug and they somehow felt better.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
That experience is now my passion and focus in touch-healing. Then, because of my life path (my choices), it would be years before this gift would be realized and developed. There was a lot of unlearning I had to do, and some hidden secrets that had to be revealed before I would be able to understand the depth of my gifting.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Making a very long story short, I studied massage as an apprentice in the late 70’s. I dropped out of college to join the Navy, and ended up in Hong Kong, China in 1981. It was in the “Walled City” of Kowloon that destiny intervened in the form of my Sifu or Master Teacher.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Guided by his spirit, and seeing something in me, he picked me out of a crowd to learn from him a healing system that changed my life, my beliefs and those of many others to come. My Sifu saw my gift and unlocked hidden potential. He knew way before I did, that this system of healing, combined with the gifts God had given me, would be lifechanging.

It has shown me that so much of what we hold in us is a function of imbalances in mind, body and spirit. It promotes healing on a whole different level. Over the years, the name of this massage modality has been changed and has been updated to accommodate other healing modalities and to make it more acceptable for the demographics I work in. For the purpose of this book I will refer to it simply as Flow.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
The Chinese Symbol for this Flow is the same as that used to speak of a drainage system. I use the metaphor of a fountain to explain the storage, removal, and drainage process of the body during a Flow session. Understanding the process of Flow and being aware of some of the holding habits we humans have, allows you to make some adjustments for yourself. That’s it! When you change … everything changes!
