 Rose and the ladies got together, ate, drank, shopped, and talked about a new series of workshops beginning January 2010!  Stay tuned!

 

 
Rose Mattax, LCPC, EEMCP, has over 20 years of experience integrating complementary alternative medicine with traditional psychotherapy for a deeply healing venture in the newly emerging field of "energy psychotherapy." Combining several specific modes of therapy — including flower essences, Reiki, Emotional Freedom Technique, and Eden Energy Medicine — with traditional talk therapy, Rose’s practice is truly dynamic, and tailored to your needs. 

 

Energy Healing Workshop Series October 20th through November 23rd   

For 6 weeks, participants worked with Reike master Diana and learned how to keep healthy and calm using energy techniques.  A second class to expand on the first will begin in Spring '10.

Love, Like Heavy Equipment
Speak the language of love using the terms your love understands.
 
You light up my life
Not neon bright
Fluorescent white
No halogen or LEDs tonight
More like a Vector™ twin–beam spotlight
with the 3-million candlepower
of 12V, H3 series halogens
powered by two 12V, 6 Amp per hour rechargeable batteries
armed with a 3–position power selection switch
hands-on or hands–free
cord or cordless
choose the illumination.
 
You’re hot
Not tropical spot sun hot
or Thai spicy hot
or flaming campfire hot
More like a 750,000 BTU Portable Propane Torch 
whose power jet burners melt ice,
incinerate tree stumps
with a 100-lb. propane cylinder
flame-control trigger valve
UL listed gas hose
aluminum extender tube
and instructions.
 
I feel your power
Not triple-A battery power
Or solar panel power
More like the Dyna™ 20,000 Watt, 35 HP Generator
with a 3600 RPM engine 
producing 83 Amps
120/240 volts at home, on the job
and two-year limited warranty.
 
You push my buttons
Not dainty satin buttons
Or hotline phone buttons
More like buttons on a 2.4 Volt, 2–speed cordless screwdriver, 
Model# 6547–1,
6–position adjustable clutch;
3.5 to 26 in. per pound of torque
adjustable for tight spots
forward/reverse
forward/reverse
with battery, charger, bit set and
impact–resistant carrying case.
 
We fit together
Not just brush-up-against together
Not simply puzzle-piece together 
More like Lovejoy™ Standard Half Couplings
that mount your engine to pump
with 11.16 horsepower
synthetic rubber inserts between the coupling halves
one fits the motor
one fits the pump shaft
194 inches per pound: the torque’s max.
 
And Baby, you’re always “on.”

Finding Your Inner Goddess, June 24, 2009
Ladies found their inner goddesses (Demeter, Aphrodite, Artemis and Athena) and Don Brown of Reallife Fotos in Chicago captured their goddess qualities in photos.  We dined on goddess-inspired food from Francesca's Restaurant in Forest Park, had our palm or tarot cards read by Tracy Teweles  and had an all around fun-filled evening.  Can't wait to do it again.  Who might the next goddesses be???
