Saturday, May 15th, 2010Beyond Massage Therapy: Expand Your Practice with a Complementary Credential by Brad Schlossberg
Published in the May issue of Massage Magazine.
“By earning a credential outside the massage field, touch therapists can expand their work to the level of dual practice.”
Rebecca Klinger, LMT
Long time Imagery International member Rebecca Klinger was one of several massage therapists interviewed for this article. She is based in Manhatten, New York. Rebecca talks about the value of adding Holistic Health Counseling (HCC) and Guided Imagery to her touch practice.
“With massage, I can immediately affect physical injuries, aches and pains,” Klinger says. “With the Holistic Health Couseling credential, I can also address other contributing factors such as exercise, sugar and caffeine intake, rest and any life situations that may be causing stress.”
“Guided Imagery helps me teach people how to use the power of imagery– their imaginations–to manage stress and pain, access their creativity, resolve inner conflicts and so much more,” she says. It’s a wonderful third leg on my mind-body practice.”
To see more about her work and the advantages of additional credentials see the May 2010 issue of Massage Magazine.

THE WISDOM OF THE BODY
Healing the Body, Healing the Self: Guided Imagery and Psychotherapy in Medicine
by Leslie Davenport, MS, MFT
Leslie Davenport
“I don’t recognize myself: My body doesn’t feel the same at all. And suddenly there is a division between myself and the people I love. I’m in the ‘heart attack’ club now, and my family has no idea what this is like. Friends are becoming strangers, and strangers in cardiac rehab are becoming friends. Everything has been hijacked: my vitality, my spiritual beliefs (this doesn’t happen to someone like me!), my financial security, my future. I have no idea who I am anymore.

Daniel’s story is familiar to me. Having offered psychotherapy with guided imagery to hundreds of patients with severe illness and injury, I have seen how multiple losses—physical, spiritual, and psychological—stemming from a health crisis deconstruct a core sense of self, leaving them feeling like a stranger in a strange land.
Guided imagery has proven to be a valuable tool for helping patients find a safe harbor within themselves during these extremely stormy times. Guided imagery, which incorporates relaxation (more…)
