She is also in her final year of a four-year certification in Core Energetics, a body-centered psychotherapy. Her psychotherapy practice focuses on trauma treatment, and howemotional and energetic issues manifest in the body. Her inspiration for writing this book came from her love of massage and experience as a mother caring for her newborn daughter. Joanne lives with her husband, Tim; her daughter, Ava; and her dog-daughter, Dakota, in Brookhaven, New York. She loves yoga andskiing and grudgingly practices Pilates. She can be reached at [email protected]. Ilene S. Fox, LMTis a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist. She graduated from the New Center for Wholistic Health, Education and Research in 1998.

To Ava, I thank you for sharing your beautiful smile in Mommy’s book. Thank you to my subs, Ginger, Jillian, and Mariah, for giving Ava loving and nurturing care when I needed to write and she needed to squeak and play. To my coauthor, Ilene — without your experience and knowledge, we couldn’t have written this book. It has been my pleasure to get to know you better — thank you. To Anna Damaskos, for giving my name to Grace Freedson, thank you; and to Grace, my literary agent, thank you for your support in getting this project. To Joan Friedman, our project editor, I want to say that I couldn’t ask for a better editor — thank you. Thank you to Kathryn Born and Margie Pillar for the beautiful illus- trations and photographs. To my family, friends, and Core Community: Each of you, in your unique way, helps me reach for the stars. From Ilene: Terence, I want to thank you for putting up with me for the past eight-plus years, for being my massage subject when I was still a student and didn’t know what I was doing, and for your sup- port when I thought I couldn’t do it. To my clients, I want to say that I appreciate you giving me the honor of working with you. Because of your receptivity and our shared wisdom, we have the opportunity to learn how we can healourselves through the power of touch: with compassion, care,presence and tenderness.
