| - This is massage for the mind ... through the body.
The first time I crossed the threshhold of "be in the tao", I was a mess - stressed and tired. Mary Ellen asked me what kind of massage I wanted and I literally put myself in her hands to decide.
She chose a chi massage. Within minutes, everything inside me changed. I had visions. I gained clarity. I felt peaceful, yet energized. Creative ideas flowed in my dreams and work for weeks. Everything seemed easier, somehow.
It was like a breakthrough after years of serious therapy, but without uttering a word or picking at old emotional wounds.
So, of course, I went back.
"be in the tao" is in The Gateway office building in Brecksville. The little corner space on the second floor "feels" good. There's a small fountain, Origami cranes floating over the massage table, and I like the music with gongs, chimes & birdsong. Her table is nicely padded and comfortably cozy warm.
This time, I wanted to explore the belly massage. It's a detox massage. Who doesn't need to do a little seasonal cleanse. I know its effects are different for everyone. For me, it was like psychedelics without drugs, time-travel sans space suit, and more visions. Let's just say I'll update the post if any of them manifests, and leave it at that.
The point is, Mary Ellen dispenses more than muscle manipulation. Ask about the three-years comatose client who, after Mary Ellen's work, is now showing responsiveness to stimulus, for example.
If you're experiencing pain and stiffness in your muscles or your mind, consider putting yourself in Mary Ellen's hands.
