Kerry Lawrence Body work

Good morning facebook friends. It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on what’s happening in the office .
Firstly, I have recently had to have a shoulder clean up after 34 years of body work . Not bad shoulder ! Glad it lasted that long ! I should say for other body workers , that that is the side I slung my table over my shoulder for 25 years of traveling out to work , so , switch it up if you can 😁 many over the rivers and through the woods and across the meadows and out to the yurts and flights of stairs as well 🦋not complaining, I would have had to replace my car tires by now ☺️.
It’s going to be a few months of recovery and physical therapy but all in all it was a quite successful surgery and I have had very little pain , even in P.T.
So , yay universe !
It’s always scary the first part of recovery . You are inundated with meds and not seeing things from a positive perspective. Three weeks in now , stitches and staples removed , still wearing the heavy brace for 3 more weeks well, 2 weeks and four days but I have plenty of time to count . First physical therapy went awesome and therapist was surprised at how much movement I had already .
I am so looking forward to seeing you all again when I am recovered fully ❤️.
Some of you who know me know that I have suffered neuralgia that comes and goes . This last year it escalated and I resumed a breathwork practice that was born first during my years of yoga and meditation teacher trainings . In the first 6 months of breathing I reduced the attacks from a few times a week to almost nothing , I did get an attack after a good bump to my head during that time ( stress induced attack ) but mostly have been free of neuralgia since picking up my breathwork practice .
In light of this I have started pouring my study hours into furthering my breathwork training this year . I just don’t start a day without it . ❤️. I want to take this moment to thank all of you for the help you have given me at this time , all the visits after showers to put my hair in a pony 🙏that was really important! All the grocery store visits . All the rides back to my house after I’ve walked a little too far , the random sightings of people I know and don’t know on my walks that have brought smiles to my face , the sun that shined on my body feeding it welcome vitamin D and the lovely time to visit . Even Evan put my hair in a pony on his visit home , may have been one of the most sweet experiences I’ve had in my entire life ❤️.
Yes there have been challenges but there have been more gifts than challenges and I am eternally grateful to my doctor Neema Portehari for being interested in me getting my life back in order 🌷. Happiest of new years to you all 🙏🦋🙏.Kerry

These are the big releases of tension , yes even the lightest work brings dramatic shifts . I love these guys . My dueling banjos ❤️ so grateful to my teachers for entrusting me with this work . Thank you Sandy Vreeburg and Jim Masterson for everything you do . And all the people who make these Masterson method classes happen . It takes a village and I am happy to have found my way into theirs ❤️

This is just a short note to thank all of my clients for graciously pushing their appts out a week ! Yes , I wrote the equine class in one week later than intended on the calendar 🙃. It was some fancy footwork that I took care of at the end of work and before dinner because you all got back to me so quickly . Thank you ! Just thank you , for always supporting my efforts in schooling ❤️.

Well ,, study day here . I took an old body I made to brush up on my Lomi Lomi technique and turned it into a horse 😃. I was going to take another photo as this horse is looking very much like a stallion, but that’s really the other foot of the tights the head is made out of ☺️blooper!

Dear Facebook world , after having a good long think on the situation at hand with the whole state closing around the Northern California region , Kerry Lawrence bodywork has decided to start lockdown before we are locked down due to bed percentages dipping as low as the rest of the state . I will be calling those who are already on the schedule. My initial plan , if the universe agrees , is a one month break . Hopefully our actions will flatten this next bit in front of us. Sincerely Kerry Lawrence , owner operator Kerry Lawrence Bodywork

I seem to have lost my post ! In search of a handy person 😊 just a few light jobs that I likely have the tools for . Downtown fort Bragg . Pretty light duty , but had surgery 6 weeks ago and those light duties require a kind of yoga that my body is not to do yet 😊 thanks in advance ☀️

Dear Facebook world and followers of Kerry Lawrence Bodywork , it’s been a long time since I’ve posted an update here . My apologies. My hope is that this note finds you well in your bodies and that the slowing down of life as we knew it helped to relax your bodies and wiggle out the stresses of your regular routines when I could not ❤️. Most massage has resumed, that being said , in with the images I have shared here about the most intimate parts of my time sheltering in , I , will not be reopening Kerry Lawrence bodywork until august 😢. The garden was a miracle but the images of Frida tell of an amazing transformation that I went through in my body during shelter in and is why I must delay my opening for one more month . I recently went to have my neck repaired and my surgeon says I am having a remarkable recovery . They called it an elective surgery so I was postponed due to covid . I want to first thank you all for your patience ❤️. And then thank all of you who stepped in to assist when I was in need of help ❤️. I am so looking forward to returning to my work ! And now a few things you can expect on your return. When you arrive I will meet you out front and we will enter the office through the garden ( unless you need the handrails of the front entrance) this is to keep the area of the office and bathroom and hall isolated from the rest of the building 😊. I am hoping that this way of entering the office is only through this time of covid . Although you will get to see the garden ❤️. When you enter , you will make use of the hands free sanitizer and sign a respiratory release form , this form also contains a recent travel inquiry , and then place the used pen in the empty jar . I will keep your forms in my file on you , it would be lovely if you put any allergies on the form as well , as it doesn’t hurt to be reminded of those if essential oils are being used 😊. When you enter the office and prepare please hang your clothes and personals on the hanger provided or you can leave them on your covered chair . All bedding including blankets will be removed and washed after each client . I will ask you to arrive in a mask and then as supplies arrive I will have a clean disposable mask for you to change into for treatment , unless you feel more safe in your own mask and then I will ask you to bring a clean one thst you can change into just for your treatment . I will also be wearing a mask and as supplies arrive will be wearing a plexiglass visor as well and is required for the practice of massage at this time . If any of this seems extreme, it is . These are uncertain times , but at least I get to work on you now ❤️. As supplies arrive I will also be wearing a fresh apron for each treatment or changing my clothes . Also in between clients I will be sanitizing and using forced air to blow air from the used office space and bathroom space to the outside . Please be sure to hydrate as many of you have not had body work for many months , along those lines really be prepared to do self care the day you receive your first treatment back with me as you will be tired and a lot of stuff will have been moved in your body . And please bring your own water bottle as there is concern about open glasses of water and droplets . If you need a minute to rest before you drive away there are chairs in the front yard by the fountain . Unfortunately there are added expenses to this new way of practicing , and my income from my work will be greatly affected by the fact that an hour and a half between clients makes it impossible to work on as many bodies a day as before , you will see some change in my prices . I will be trying to move everybody into my current pricing that changed as of January first 2020 . Most of you are already there . ❤️. If you find that between your monthly appts you need to come in for skeleton corrections because you have thrown something off I can see you for a short appt of corrections, that’s a fifteen minute bottom to top getting the body stacked up with assisted corrective stretches , priced accordingly, as the office and all bedding will still have to be treated as well , thank you for understanding. Any short appts for corrective work will only be given to bodies I see on a regular basis . Ok ! I think that’s everything ❤️if there is something I have not thought of for your safety please do let me know in a private message , or if you have special needs like being medically exempt from wearing a mask , so I can see you at the end of the day and other precautions can be taken . Much love to you all and see you very soon!☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️Kerry
