I have been teaching Pain and Stress Management for over 20 years. For my own use, I needed something to help me with the pain and stress of Spinal Stenosis, also the loss of our daughter and it's depressing effects on me.

Being a typical Registered Nurse, I went to classes in all the disciplines that I could find, T.M., EST, YOGA, BUDDISIM and many more.

I have studied with the first Doctor to recoqnize the effects of stress on our health and in our lives, Dr. Lenz from Chicago.

I started the first pre-op patient classes at Quincy City Hospital, back in 1981. Our year end studies, of those taking the pre-op classes, showed that they used 40% less pain medication than those that didn't take the class AND 90% were discharged atleast 1 day earlier then those who didn't take the class.

I taught at various Continuing Education projects at local High Schools, 4 years in Marshfield, MA, 2 years each at Duxbury and Scituate, MA and found that I felt I was doing more, as a nurse, teaching, then being in charge of the Surgical Floor.

Do to phyisical reasons I had to retire from Nursing in 1994 and try other professions in order to support my family. But, now that I am fully retired, I can spend my "free" time putting together a family website.

CAROL retired from Stop & Shop as a baker all while we were taking in 17 foster children and traveling as much as possible.

Sorry about all the banners
There is a lot of "Stuff" enclosed. Due to the fact that this is a FREE WEB SITE, I have to put up with it, You may find some of it interesting
