Your Body Is a Puzzle

People’s bodies are a puzzle. I want to educate people to listen to their bodies. Countless people suffer from very limited mobility and experience chronic pain. Often they do not know where the source of their pain comes from.  Many times their pain is from a previous injury that they ignored.  I want to teach my clients to recognize the origin of their pain. Together we can put the pieces together so that you can optimize your health and wellness and function to the best of your ability!!

Call Christine at Catch Your Breath Massage today (916) 410-7691 and book an appointment. Let's work on putting the pieces back together!!!!!

It's Your Choice






People make a gazillion choices a day. Most minuscule to what one will eat for breakfast to crucial decisions that will affect the path that we take in life. It isn’t always easy to make sound choices usually it’s just the opposite and people struggle with making good decisions.

Whenever my adult daughter goes out for a night on the town, I always tell her “Be safe and make good choices.” When she was younger she would snap “Really Mom you can’t just say have a good time, or hope you have fun”? I would reply, “Jen I want you to make good decisions, since I can’t be there to guide you”. 

Making sound decisions are vital for one’s well-being. When we make not only smart choice we usually have fewer obstacles in our lives to overcome. It takes integrity to make the really hard decisions, especially when we don’t want to do what is good for us.  Be true to yourself, your beliefs, and stick to your guns!!! Don’t let other people’s opinions sway you from being true to yourself!!!  Make the choices that are good for you.  Making healthy decisions isn’t always easy, but that’s the point!  Have the courage to make the right choices.

Believe in YOU!!




We are all created uniquely.  And that is a beautiful blessing from God. Do not let other people’s negativity have power over you.  Do not take on the poison of another’s words. You lose your strength and passion when you do not believe in yourself. Instead embrace your own unique selves. It is easier to love yourself when you are true to yourself.  Do not allow other people's opinions of you to alter your actions. Be true to yourself. Embrace your uniqueness it is a beautiful thing!

Your Mirror



Your Life is a Mirror. If you are unhappy or unfulfilled the evidence will be revealed to you in your likeness. One cannot make the image in the mirror smile until you feel like smiling. If you do not like the reflection that you glimpse in the mirror do something to change what you see. If you don’t like what you see don’t blame the mirror. Transform your mirror image.
Replace negativity with constructive thoughts and positive energy. Concentrate on what makes you blissful.  Everyone and every situation can act as a mirror. I am a firm believer of we attract what we are. If you don’t like the people you are attracting take a deep long look in the mirror, if you change your reflection you may change your life.

Sweep!!!!


Woo hoo second time in three years Giants won the world series baby!!!! The Tigers’ fate was sealed in the bottom of the10th inning, when Sergio Romo, of the Giants’ for the last out, he set down Miguel Cabrera, with an 89-mile-per-hour fastball, right down the middle of the plate. Romo clenched his fists and pumped them in front of his chest. Within seconds his fellow Giants surrounded him. San Francisco is gearing up for a ticker-tape parade to celebrate a World Series victory for the Giants. Yay buddy!!!!

Unpredictable Moments

     Yesterday I woke up feeling fabulous. Woke up before the alarm went off, which I LOVE!!!! I hate waking up to the sound of a shrilling alarm clock going off in my ear. Anyhow the sun was out and it was a beautiful gorgeous day! Played with Coco off to the Gym butt dancing in my car to “Drunk on You”  www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpFaI0dKAHcgreat song. Had a great work out, felt invigorated, and my day was all planned out. Which I  love because I am a planner! Then listened to my voice mail, my mom is sick has pneumonia Dad needed help so my plans changed. Not complaining…just my life…&  me being a loving  & supportive daughter. 

     I received an unexpected and heartfelt text message. It was both weird & wonderful. It was sweet, eloquent, made me smile, and it was an aweee moment. And it was an unexpected and unpredicted text from what was now my new routine. It caught me off-guard, nevertheless, in my hectic day one of those unpredictable moments happened. 

     Of course I didn’t stop rushing. I had too much to do. Had to rush to do the laundry, rush to the grocery store, rush around my parent’s house, and tidy up and prepare them meals for the next few days.  And rush to tend to my home.  I didn’t stop to enjoy my unpredictable moment. My awweee moment.

     I am happy to report that I did reflect on my unpredictable awe moment. I reread the text and I was now sporting a silly grin. We need to remember to be present. Be available in the moment. There are infinite possibilities for what can happen in a moment. Infinite possibilities come “before” a moment and all the infinite possibilities that can take place because of a moment. The question to ask yourself is “am I going to let this moment pass me by”?

     Remember to be present in the moment.Unexpected & Unpredictable occurrences come on rather quickly and just as quick as they occur they can evaporate. In a split second, with the blink of an eye, in an instant anything can show up.?
   


 Allow yourself to experience the moment & let your new reality unfold!!
