About
Margarette Shelton, OTR, PhD, LMT, EEM-CLP:
When I broke my ankle in three places in 1983, a friend introduced me to complementary and alternative forms of healing. I have been drawn to the healing arts for more than 40 years, even as I immersed myself in the American medical model as an occupational therapist.
I first learned Reiki in 1988 then became a registered and licensed occupational therapist in 1992. During my career in occupational therapy, I have worked with neurological, orthopedic, cancer, and psychiatric/substance abuse populations. I have acquired a variety of skills that make me better able to serve diverse adult populations in a variety of settings, such as acute care, acute rehabilitation, and outpatient settings. In all my experiences, interdisciplinary communication has been important, but most important is my communication and relationship with my client.
My journey has included study and training in several methods that straddle the boundary between the medical model and complementary and alternative forms of healing: Mind-Body Medicine training, health coaching, massage, myofascial release, and craniosacral therapy. I met Donna Eden in 2005 and promised myself to study with her and her team of highly skilled teachers ONE DAY. I am now an Eden Energy Medicine Certified Practitioner with the intention of becoming an advanced practitioner.
As a result of my years of experience, I believe that physical and emotional pain is stored in the body’s subtle energy as well as in connective tissue known as fascia. Pain in the body (whether physical or emotional in origin) can be released gently using techniques that help energy to move in the subtle energies and in the tissue. When energy moves, the body, mind, and spirit can become harmonized and balanced. To that end, I use Energy Medicine, CranioSacral Therapy, Graston, and Remote Work as my primary methods and techniques. I use these types of bodywork with the intention of facilitating your body’s ease and supporting its innate ability to heal.
