Elementally FUNctional Support for All Ages
Self-Care is Easier When We Practice Together
Margarita Navarrete-Hutchinson, LMT, LMTI, CE Provider (MT034816)
NESTA Biomechanics Specialist, Functional Training Specialist
I am a practicing massage therapist, since 2003; prior to COVID-19, with a hybrid private practice/independent contractor structured business. This allowed me to work with private clients over many sessions and years; bodies with different needs in a handful of chiropractic offices; as well as spa work (currently at the Horseshoe Bay Resort).
With 2 decades of hands-on experience, I combine Swedish, Deep Massage (Lauterstein Method), and gentle Trigger Point Therapy, intended for deep neurological relaxation, tailored for each client's needs, that day; providing holistic support.
Hoopment motivated me to get my Massage Instructor license, in 2018, and to become a licensed Continuing Education provider; so that other MT's may enjoy the wellness benefits of practicing Elementally Intuitive Movement, and integrating it into their massage practices, via flow arts.
Self-care is vital to therapist longevity--ensuring our clients are maintaining an effective mobilization practice, is likely to extend our careers.
The pandemic "break" gave an opportunity to develop an effective Flow Arts-based functional movement program.
In 2020, I became a NESTA certified Biomechanics Specialist; six months later, NESTA certified Functional Training Specialist. I'm excited to share and apply the knowledge learned through the coursework, to better support your family, your body, and your self-care practice.
After working hands-on with bodies, I'm taking that knowledge gained from 2 decades of witnessing dysfunction, in addition to many years of flow arts/movement practice, to help you take better care of yourself--and inspire you to share with family & friends!
Elementally Intuitive Movement
The foundation for all of the Elemental Implement Manipulation classes I offer, is Elementally Intuitive Movement.
EIM is gentle and exceptional for hypermobile bodies.
EIM may gently help mobilize bodies in chronic pain.
EIM supports developing and aging bodies.
This practice connects generations; providing your family a fun wellness activity that you can do together--and inspire each other.
Inspiration and appreciation are elementally functional skills that we may deliberately foster, with conscious practice.
EIM for FUNctional Movement
Elementally Intuitive Movement is a fun way to share self-care, and socialize at a safe distance from each other--for groups of 8 or less.
The rate is same regardless of group size--whether as individual or up to 8; share the session and save together!
My approach to self-care is playful; my preferred metaphorical playground is elemental in nature: Earth Air Water Wood Metal (Fire embodied in the metal)...and practical--all non-Fire Implements prepare the body to move with Fire Implement, should the student arrive at that element.
My approach to life is elementally fun; I perceive that we are all playing the Life Game; and the goal is to Observe, Adapt, and Learn. LGOAL
What I have learned, is that we have to practice creating our own purpose--and that's how we find ourselves.
My Life G:OAL: supporting imperfectly functional vessels on our journey as we practice playing this lifegame together, kindly.
The playground is open!
I'm pleased to get to pass these skills on to you, your family, and friends.
It is gratifying to assist you with the maintenance of your vessel. Your body is a spaceship!
