Teresa Tapp – Movement and Fitness Guru, Founder of T-Tapp

Posted on January 10, 2016 by Jane Frank

Teresa_Tapp-1

Teresa Tapp is an exercise physiologist/rehabilitative trainer, creator of the popular T-Tapp programs, and a best-selling author whose specialty is real fitness from the inside out. Teresa’s approach is not about weighing yourself and counting calories or working out 7 days a week for 3-4 hours a day. Her T-Tapp approach is about good health, and visible RESULTS!

“Treat your body as a machine!” is Teresa’s mantra. Teresa knows how a woman’s body works — especially women over the age of 30. For the past three decades, she has been chronicling her personal experience and collecting data from hundreds of female clients, developing exciting new insights on women’s health and fitness.

Teresa has explored important connections between nutritional needs and a woman’s biochemistry, specifically blood type, genetics, body type and chronological age. In the past, this dynamic personal and rehabilitative trainer worked exclusively with professional models in the glamorous fashion industry. Now she is passionate about sharing her valuable expertise with women of all ages. Teresa is living proof that over 50, your body can be a lean, well-tuned, balanced machine, without spending hours at the gym. Many of Teresa’s clients, at age 50+, have better “machines” than they did in the 30s.

Teresa has always had an ardent interest in health and fitness, specializing in Exercise Physiology, Public Health and Nutrition during college, and ultimately writing her research thesis on “Metabolisms in Women Over the Age of 30”. Her original plan was to pursue a medical degree; however, tuition money was tight and the fashion industry came calling. Having done catalog modeling herself, Teresa already had a good feel for what the photographers were seeking. She also had the uncanny ability to look at a 14 year old girl and predict where she was going to gain weight and what she would look like six years in the future. This aptitude, combined with her physiology background, enabled Teresa to take gawky, immature teens and turn them into moneymaking models. Plunging into the fashion world as a “scout” for the prestigious Ford Agency in New York, Teresa’s first discovery was a Strawberry Festival Queen from Plant City, Florida. Finding fresh talent was just the first hurdle, however. The real secret of Teresa’s success was her use of innovative methods to prepare the models – psychologically, nutritionally and physically – methods that work for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond as well.

tapp=bookWhat is the T-Tapp program? It’s a physical therapy approach to fitness that delivers muscle density rather than bulk. The comprehensive, compound muscle movements done in specific sequence involve isometric isolations with linear alignment and neuro-kinetic flow. It works muscles layer by layer from the inside out and develops muscle density instead of muscle mass. It is very rehabilitative for those with lower back, hip and knee problems as well as upper spine, neck and shoulder problems. The movements appear very simple but they are quite complex in that each exercise movement utilizes both attachments of the muscle rather than just one attachment and belly of the muscle. T-Tapp is a high aerobic workout, but doesn’t involve any jumping or use of weights. In fact, the stronger you get, the less you need to do the workout to maintain results.

resultsBecause of this approach, rapid reshaping can take place. No jumping, no weights and no dieting. Inch loss comes quickly at an average of one clothing size per month with no loose skin. Best of all, it works regardless of age or fitness level. T-Tapp is designed to put the body in proper functional alignment, restore metabolic function, and stands on its own as a complete workout as well as enhancing the effectiveness of ALL of your workouts. Basically, your entire system gets “tuned up” like a finely adjusted machine.

tapp-totalUsually the stronger one becomes, they must add more weight and/or repetitions to advance to higher level of fitness or weight loss. Well, with T-Tapp one never has to add weight or do more than one set of 8 repetitions – it will continue to challenge the body even as the body advances in fitness level and strength.

T-Tapp also puts emphasis on lymphatic stimulation throughout the workout. This not only helps the body maximize metabolic processing, but it also helps improve immune system function. That’s why those who have autoimmune diseases, or cancer, find that it helps their immune function. People with diabetes find that it can help better control blood sugar. And women with PMS, peri-menopause, and menopause report that it helps their hormonal imbalances.

With T-Tapp, you’ll discover fitness from the inside out!

Lauren Chelec Cafritz – Breathwork Teacher and Advocate

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Jane Frank

Lauren

Lauren Chelec Cafritz is passionate about helping people achieve optimal health, mental clarity and joy using the power of breath. She has discovered that harnessing the full potential of the breath empowers us and provides us with emotional and physical healing.

Breathwork has rejuvenated her own life. Many years ago, after her son was born, Lauren woke up unable to move her neck. A friend brought her to his breathworker and she helped Lauren release the tension and pain with specific breathing patterns. Not only did the pain melt away, but she also felt a renewed sense of energy and spiritual connection. This transformational experience launched her on a ten-year study of different breathwork methods and eventually to start a teaching practice so she could share this rejuvenation and joy with others.

Lauren is a practitioner of many schools of breathwork. She continually seeks and studies new methods to deepen her own understanding and practice and to help her clients. Her certifications are in Integrative Breathwork and Transformational Breath®.

Lauren is client-focused, nurturing, and compassionate. She creates a safe, caring, and healing environment to help explore and deepen your breath and improve your health. She believes that practicing a big, full breath will bring you a bigger, fuller life.

Be connected to your strength, vitality, joy and tranquility.

Breathwork is for people who want to relax and benefit from optimum health and peak performance. Breathwork uses conscious breathing—varied rhythm, location, and speed—as a healing tool. Breathwork can be enjoyed by people of all ages—from the very young to the very old—all religious beliefs, lifestyles, and walks of life. You can practice breathwork on your own, with a facilitator, and in a group. Breathwork can help you address physical ailments, tension, and mental and emotional “blockages.” Breathwork can also help you find a deeper spiritual connection.

Conscious breathing increases your breath which enables you to use more of your diaphragm, take bigger, fuller inhales, and draw more oxygen into your body. Conscious breathing enhances your health and can correct numerous health issues, according to well-known doctors such as integrative physician Dr. Andrew Weil.

Breathwork is known to help with:

  • Relieving stress and anxiety
  • Increasing vitality
  • Improving sexual health and sensuality
  • Boosting the immune system
  • Improving digestion
  • Increasing lung capacity
  • Oxygenation of cells and tissue
  • Improving liver and kidney health
  • Improving heart health
  • Helping with conception, pregnancy, delivery, and post-pregnancy
  • Preparing for and healing from surgery
  • Helping with addiction prevention and rehabilitation

Practicing deep, full breathing allows you to feel good, open, clear, and confident. You are free and more available to be authentically you.

Demo DiMartile – Mind-Body Healing and Guided Meditations

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Jane Frank

Demo DiMartile

Demo DiMartile is the founder of One Light One Spirit, which produces a series of healing guided meditations. Demo has been a spiritual teacher and healer for over 40 years. He was trained in and practiced hypnotherapy, the Hawaiian, Huna Healing method, and is an adept  Kundalini Meditation master.

According to DiMartile, “Holistic healing looks at achieving wellness in body, mind and spirit. Guided meditation is the doorway to mind and spirit, and the key to self-understanding and mastery. When practiced regularly, guided meditation can have profound effects on feelings of empowerment and self-reliance, while helping us feel more balanced and healthy.”

Addressing the energetic influences on women’s health, thyroid dysfunction and hormonal imbalance, the meditation brings together all three levels of consciousness — subconscious, conscious and super conscious — helping listeners to restore balance and wellbeing by harnessing the healing force within.

Holistic healing occurs when the body, mind, soul and spirit are working together simultaneously. When this alignment is restored, you’ll move beyond the body-mind connection into the unlimited scope of your spirit. Spirit is a powerful force that ignites your passion and drives your will to succeed while you remain centered and calm within your core. It is this dynamic state of wholeness which activates the Law of Attraction to consistently manifest your goals effortlessly. Living in the moment from a state of wholeness strengthens and sustain your trust in yourself. Trust is essential to remain in the flow and thoroughly enjoy the journey.

Guided meditations have become a popular method of choice to help manage stress and overcome anxiety in our hyperactive lives. There are no known negative side effects whatsoever and you do need to know how to meditate. Studies have proven that meditating boosts immune function and can lift you from depression into happiness. Guided meditation is being used by chronic disease sufferers to improve health from a holistic perspective, and is even now supporting women to restore a healthy thyroid function as well as hormonal balance.

So whether you desire to end the struggle with your self-image, self-worth, love, lack, career or success, meditation can help you take back your power to achieve your dreams. And here’s the the jewel in the crown: There is much scientific research to validate that daily meditation can even evolve your DNA. That has profound ramifications for healing on deep cellular level and for being fulfilled in so many ways which include: slowing down your aging process, looking and feeling your best, and growing your humanity as you live a more spirited and compassionate life.

All One Light One Spirit guided meditation programs are written and spoken by Demo DiMartile. The accompanying music is composed by Dina Alexander. The blend of Demo’s soothing vocal presence with binaural technology guides you back home to the place within where true power and peace reside.

Demo’s guided meditations helps listeners relax body and mind, while bringing in the renewal of spirit. The meditation assist the listeners in embracing joy, self-trust, confidence and ultimately self-acceptance.
