How can one change careers from business litigation to massage therapy? Scott had seventeen years invested in being an attorney (between all his years of schooling and practicing law). Setting this aside was the most difficult change that he had ever faced up until that time in his life. The change was brought about as the result of a combination of factors. First, there was no job security in being an attorney. He had been at four different law firms and each one dissolved (including a 50-attorney firm). Second, there was no job satisfaction. There were very few times in his career where Scott actually felt that he was helping people. His job used to be to make people's lives as miserable as possible; now it is the opposite. Third, while he was an attorney, Scott had received massage every other week for five years. Then, just for personal growth and not intending to become a massage therapist, Scott took a basic Massage Therapy Training Program. After liking this, he continued taking more and more massage training, just as a hobby. Fourth, Scott was practicing yoga. There was a symbiosis between yoga and massage in terms of the exploration of the human body, internally through kinesthetic awareness and externally through structure and function.

By the time that the fourth law firm had folded, Scott had taken a substantial number of hours of massage training. He then decided to try working as a massage therapist while he looked for another attorney position. Fortunately, that attorney position never came about and Scott has remained a happy, successful massage therapist ever since!

The multi-dimensional healing is the tangible extension of the years of practicing yoga and bodywork. The first area of development has been the breath. Scott can extract and convert prana (chi) from the air and incorporate it into his body. You will feel his hands heat up after three yoga breaths! As a result, Scott can move a tremendous amount of energy through a person's body when performing myofascial work. The second area of development has been the sensitivity of touch. Scott is so sensitive in terms of touch that he can empathically feel and sense the psycho-emotional content in another's body by touching their tissues. The third area of development has been the intuition through meditation. Scott started a meditation practice in 2001. Self-taught, Scott has the ability to "hold the space" to allow his myofascial soft tissue manipulation to extend beyond the biophysical and bioenergetic into the non-physical, vibrational, and intuitional realm. The intuition is a sensing, feeling, or coming to know something based upon something more than just the information derived from the five senses plus analytical reasoning. The fourth area of development has been in working with crystals. Crystals refract light and conduct electricity (energy). Crystals can also be used to facilitate removal of and processing through psycho-emotional content stored in the muscle memory of the tissue. Scott uses crystals in meditation and in healing work.
