On this episode of AIM In Practice, our focus is on Mindful Meditation Massage, a unique combination of mindfulness, meditation, and massage.

In this episode of AIM In Practice, I speak with Erin Tayle. She shares her unique approach to healing through the use of sound and Chinese medicine. We discuss her personal journey towards understanding the importance of authentic connection with the self and the transformative power of accessing the subconscious mind. The episode covers topics such as planetary tuning forks, the eight extraordinary vessels in Chinese medicine, and the importance of listening with pure presence. Erin emphasizes the importance of inner transformation before creating outer change, and shares her approach to helping clients achieve inner coherence and unlock aspects of their soul. Finally, Erin recounts their unusual journey to becoming a holistic practitioner, including a lifelong quest for meaning and purpose.
Erin began her journey into health and healing 28 years ago at the University of Calgary. It was during her degree that she had the great fortune to receive an in depth study of human anatomy and physiology and received a BSC in Kinesiology. In her studies, she was mesmerized by the intelligence of the human body and mind, and how the entire system was coordinated together like a giant symphony. Her curiosity about this intelligence led her to study Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture in Calgary, Canada. It was here that she learned the name of this intelligence that was coordinating all the biological rhythms- Qi or Life Force energy. In her years working with the meridian system and Qi, she was able to understand that she was working with vibration. This is where she found her way to the Acutonics program. Erin became a certified Acutonics teacher in 2013. Her curiosity did not stop there. She had devoted her life's work into understanding a more esoteric meridian system, the 8 Extraordinary Vessels. Erin could see and feel that these 8 vessels behave very differently from the 12 main meridians. To get a better understanding of her experience with the 8 Extraordinary Vessels, she enrolled at the Quantum University PhD program in Integrative Medicine. It was here that she was able to better understand the strange behavior of these vessels and develop a quantum lens to deepen her experience with the 8 Extraordinary Vessels. Presently Erin resides in Calgary, Canada. She has a part-time clinical practice and teaches part-time at the Calgary College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. Beginning with her studies of the physical body to the quantum field of the 8 Extraordinary Vessels, Erin has deepened her understanding of the multidimensionality of the human bio-spiritual-ecological system. She has made it her life's work to point people in the direction of their Soul and the remembrance of their multidimensional nature.

Former TCMD Eric Stretch has an interesting story. Unlike most of the other practitioners I talk with, he is no longer practicing because he recently left the world of integrative medicine to pursue his passion in a totally unrelated industry - tech.
Eric worked as a TCMD and acupuncturist for over 8 years, until he sat down and had a hard conversation with himself. he realized that his heart was not in it. This was not ideal for his patients, his family, and certainly not for himself.
Eric did something that take tremendous courage and pursued his passion.
The reason I wanted to speak with Eric is that I think it is important for all of us to remember, that as we go through our lives, things change and one of those things might be our love for what we do. Maybe you don't have to leave integrative medicine completely, but maybe you do. But perhaps you, or someone you know, need to hear that it is okay if this is not your thing!

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Andrea Hejtmanek. We talk about the power of grace as a practitioner, how to stay grounded as a practitioner, and learn about how Dr. Andrea approaches her treatments.
Andrea Hejtmanek graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies in 2005.

Andrea typically teaches the following courses: The Foundations of Chinese Medicine, Herbology, Dietary Therapy, Facial Rejuvenation, Gynecology, Extraordinary Meridians, and The Classics of Chinese Medicine, in addition to being a supervisor at the College’s teaching clinic. Also, she has been invited to give two lectures in China at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (Beijing), most recently giving a presentation on emerging infectious diseases.

How much should I charge for my massage therapy service? This is a question that many massage therapists ask themselves. Instead of guessing, or going based on what she feels is right, Breanne took a more scientific approach. To figure out how much a message is worth, she surveyed over 30 practices and came to find the answer.
