Getting paid to help people can be one of the most rewarding career choices you can make. The exchange of energy that occurs during massage is at another level. Brian Kavanaugh helps people heal themselves. Brian is a conduit to allowing people to come in through the out door and our guest on this week's Above Ground Podcast. What's up everyone? Time for episode two hundred seven of Above Ground Podcast. This Sunday, Above Ground Podcast is taking part in an open house and health fair starting at 10:00am at the Center of Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy, 14 Computer Drive West, Albany, NY 12205. This awesome opportunity led us to our InnerView this week. Brian Kavanaugh is the Director of Admissions for the Center of Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy (CNWSMT) in Albany, NY. He has been a licensed massage therapist since graduating from CNWSMT in 2005. Brian started his education after realizing you could make a good living and have a ton of flexibility compared to other vocations. What he didn't expect was the growth of self that he developed, the sense of purpose gained and the intuition to guide. Filling your own well is a personal mantra for Brian and he teaches his students to take better care of themselves, in order to serve their clients better. Brian had such a profound experience at CNWSMT that he says, “ if I didn't do another massage ever again. I would still go through the education again.” For him being part of the community and personal growth were great benefits on top of receiving his LMT and following his soul path. If we do not release our traumas, pains, stressors and depressants, we store them in our bodies somewhere. The physical will bemoan the emotional. Our bodies do tell the score and if you do not release these items we will become symptomatic. Whatever that means to you. Brian evangelizes the benefits of massage for everyone. He, especially touts it for those with depression. Massage being a healing touch, Brian has touched so many folks. Cue comedic drum fill. Please come out this Sunday to the Center of Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy at 14 Computer Drive West, Albany, NY 12205 from 10a-2pm for their open house and health fair. This event will have a little bit of everything, from body work, energy work, sound therapy and Above Ground Podcast. Come out and help us spread self love via self care. Set an intention to come and open yourself to something new. Speaking of intentions. When we fired up the engine on this pod, I set the intention of having seven episodes in the can and that it would be a weekly episode drop. I had no idea it would go two hundred plus weeks and counting. Next week we celebrate four years of stomping stigma and having real, raw conversations about mental health from the, peer-spective. Remember hope won't spread itself! Thank you! Also summer is fast approaching and AGP will be out and about. We will definitely see you at the one and only, Nipperfest 2023. Nippertown's summer party in the Electric City.on Saturday July 22, 2023. Music Haven at Central Park in Schenectady will be rocking from noon on.

Until next week get well, be safe, stay ABOVE!
A New York State and North Carolina Licensed Massage Therapist and entrepreneur, we're sitting down this week with Joyce Gauthier of Respect Massage, aka The Sailing Massage Therapist. She grew up in New Hartford, NY, and danced and sang her way through most of her early life. She has always loved performing and earned a BA in dance and theatre from Manhattanville College. Her early twenties were spent mostly on the road touring as a dancer or living in New York City performing comedic improv (and waitressing). After meeting her soul mate, her direction in life shifted. Instead of performing, she longed for a career where she could help others and have the freedom to be her own boss. Massage therapy was a natural career choice since she loved receiving massage and learned how beneficial it was throughout her dance career. She earned her massage certification from the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy in Albany, NY in 2010. Joyce owned a successful medical massage practice in a chiropractic office for seven years before following her dream of traveling full time. Her current residence is Duchess, a 32′ sailing ketch, accompanied by her wonderful husband, Matthew, and a lazy shih tzu named Loki. Together, they travel the east coast and the Bahamas. While traveling on her sailboat, Joyce found herself at another turning point. She strived to help others, but her traveling lifestyle stifled her ability to maintain a consistent massage practice. She also longed to branch out from the treatment room and support groups of people, instead of practicing one-on-one. This is how The Sailing Massage Therapist came to fruition. It began as a way for Joyce to connect with other therapists and give them positive support through videos. Since February 2019, it has taken on a life of its own. Joyce now runs an ever-growing Facebook group, Massage Business with the Sailing Massage Therapist, provides continuing education courses for massage therapists, and is the founder of the Respect Massage Movement. Joyce was contacted numerous times by massage therapists that were struggling with how to handle sexual solicitations in their practice, Joyce felt like she had to take action. Since there is no unifying resource for massage therapists when it comes to addressing this major issue, the movement was born. Respect Massage is a way for educated, legitimate massage therapists to make it clear that they do not mix sex and massage. It is a way to take a firm and transparent stance that massage therapists invest time and money into getting an education and getting licensed, and there is zero-tolerance when it comes to sexual solicitations. Joyce strives to elevate the massage therapy profession through unifying massage therapists with the power of a strong, supportive, positive community, and education.

Spirit Connections with Carolyn Clapper - 4-1-17 - Mind Body Spirit Living Occasionally we meet individuals who have an interesting story to tell, or who provide life insights worth sharing, outside of the course of the regular series of topics we discuss on the Mind Body Spirit Living show. It is especially intriguing when we can connect with people who have a a perspective that is extremely unique, or who can provide us all with an illuminating view on something that we may find confusing or mysterious. Such is the case with this week’s guest. After becoming severely ill with meningitis and being near death, she recovered to find that she was left with the ability to see beyond this world into the next. Upon realizing that she had this unique gift of connecting with Spirit, she now works with the police in the area of unsolved homicide, missing person and animal cases, and medical mysteries. We take a closer look at her story today and how she connects with spirit. Carolyn Clapper is an Evidential Medium, Psychic, and Medical Intuit, working with Spirit to bridge the gap between this world and the next. She is also known as the “Next World Medium.” She now works with individuals and groups to connect people with family members and friends who have passed. She also works with doctors and hospitals to help to “see” and diagnose disease, and with the FBI and law enforcement, using her gifts to locate lost and missing persons. Previously, Carolyn attended the Wisconsin Institute of Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy as well as Mount Mary University and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
