Carrie Cameron, P.T., M.Div.

My formal education and licensure is in the field of Physical Therapy. I've worked in several different specialties with my Physical Therapy degree, performing respiratory therapy functions, burn/ wound care hydrotherapy and rehabilitation, as well as basic orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation. My cardiac specialty led me to teaching Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) classes - and I discovered how much I really enjoyed teaching. When I semi-retired from P.T. to give birth to my babies, I trained and taught Lamaze Classes under the auspices of ASPO/Lamaze. In retrospect, not only was the teaching experience invaluable, but it laid the groundwork for learning/teaching conscious relaxation, deep breathing, guided visualization techniques and clinical hypnosis. As my children grew, a desire to work on the ‘school calendar’ led me to train/work in pediatric physical therapy. I loved working with kids, but had to learn patience and frequently relied on my instincts with the non-verbal children. I realized that learning to follow these instincts was extremely helpful when I began training in and using myofascial release techniques, especially when unwinding procedures allowed somato-emotional releasing. Using myofascial release and craniosacral therapy became the focus of my further training and I expanded to using it not only in pediatric populations, but also with general outpatient orthopedic/chronic pain patients. In the 1990’s, this work began to include horses, and over several years Doris Kay Halstead and I developed a program called Symmetry in Motion. Traveling around the United States visiting horse farms to posturally re-align horses and their riders, we honed our skills not only in deep tissue bodywork and craniosacral therapy, but also in working with the energy body to facilitate healing of the physical body. As I observed the results of this work, it began to shift my entire belief system about pain and healing. I began to think about physical therapy much more wholistically, understanding that we must address and make changes in the entire body and at all levels for true healing to occur.

(And why is my story so important? In the whole scheme of things it’s not. But when we look back on our life path, it’s fascinating to observe that everything happened for a reason. Even the crises and challenges contribute valuable learning experiences. As Deepok Chopra so aptly puts it, “every thought is the result of every other thought we have ever had...”)

More recently, I have obtained a Masters of Divinity degree which has enhanced my understanding of how an individual's belief system will affect their ability to heal, and I've delved into a deeper understanding of the power of prayer - the fifth mode of prayer as described by Gregg Braden in THE ISAIAH EFFECT. The study of quantum physics and the many varied approaches to energy medicine convinced me that treating only the physical body is the tip of the iceburg! Ordained as a Spiritual Peacemaker through the Beloved Community founded by James Twyman, I have traveled on missions of  peace and goodwill to Machu Pichu, Egypt, Israel, Italy and France, and the home of the original peace pole, Japan's Mt Fuji Sanctuary.

 
Teaching and authoring have been an integral part of my life. After co-authoring and publishing

RELEASE THE POTENTIAL:  MYOFASCIAL  RELEASE FOR HORSES AND RIDERS

in 2000, I began creating study programs for the Unity Church of Madison to accompany the Matthew Fox books ORIGINAL BLESSING and SINS OF THE SPIRIT, BLESSINGS OF THE FLESH and Chief Roy Wilson's MEDICINE WHEELS - ANCIENT TEACHINGS FOR MODERN TIMES.

My latest program 

WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR:  A STUDY PROGRAM FOR THE AWAKENING SPIRITUAL ACTIVIST 

is a compilation of writings from Marianne Williamson, Corinne McLaughlin and Gordan Davidson, Michael Lerner, David Korten, and Starhawk combined into  7 chapters of study and meditation to   inspire spiritual/mystical activism.







I am thoroughly committed to the premise on this website and encourage you to read further about it in my latest book 
    MULTIDIMENSIONAL HEALING.
