My approach is gentle and nurturing, yet powerful. I believe in the innate ability of each of us to tap into our inner wisdom. My work encourages clients to trust themselves. I use the skills and therapies that I have mastered in my own life through education and experience with thousands of clients. My clients report after a session a general sense of feeling balanced physically and emotionally, more attuned to themselves and capable of handling life's challenges. My work is intuitive, and spontaneous. Sessions vary from strictly massage when relaxation, nurturing or pain relief is needed, to working with emotional issues and life skill coaching. A combination of mind, body and spiritual approaches are woven together uniquely for each client. I use a holistic approach to well-being, viewing body, mind and spirit as one. The body does not lie!

I create a safe environment so my clients feel comfortable in talking with me about their issues. I encourage clients to bring forth their issues because in my experience people move easily into a state of well being when all the levels are addressed.

It's fulfilling to be a catalyst for clients in releasing blocks that have held them back from living a full, self expressed life. Clients report experiencing a greater sense of well-being and move toward fulfilling their dreams. In the work people discover the core of an issue that may be related to pain or stress in their bodies. Addressing the root of a problem, using the Body therapy work helps people to release outlived patterns and stagnant energy from their bodies. Through this transformative process people have reported feeling balanced, uplifted, more joyful and experiencing their true Self.

My Experience with Maryejo

My first pregnancy was very traumatic to me. I lost one of my twin babies at birth. I knew the chances of her survival were minimum all through my pregnancy and there were many complications. As a result, there was a lot of sadness, anger, love, hope, fear and anxiety, all of them ranging inside of me.

When I became pregnant again I was very lucky to have Maryejo beside me to help me get in a place where I could let go of past loss, fears, anxiety and sadness related to being pregnant again. All of this through her kind touch, her guided meditation and through key questions. Her services helped me connect with my new baby, get in touch with her subtle ways of communicating to me, allowed me to know her deeper, supported me in releasing the fear of losing her and support my body and mind through the wonderful journey of growing life inside of me.

She also performed a blessing ceremony which created an invaluable bond between my self an other supporting women that helped me in the process, it prepared me for giving birth and strengthened my spirit to welcome my baby into this world.

Metamorphosis

Maryejo del Meijer studied Metamorphosis for two years with Robert St. John, its originator. Maryejo has been practicing the work for over twenty five years. She has taught classes and workshops since 1984 and has worked with thousands of private clients. She is also a licensed massage therapist, holds a M.A. degree in Counseling and an M.A. degree in Spiritual Psychology. She resides in Santa Barbara, CA.

Maryejo has experienced Metamorphosis expansion in her own life and says, " My whole outlook on life has changed through the work;. I feel a greater sense of well-being, more balanced in times of change and deeply connected to life..."

Do you feel 'stuck' in your life?
Do you want to be more self expressed?
Are you ready to break through limiting patterns in your life?
Relationship issues? Issues with making and keeping commitments? Feeling out of place?

Come for a Metamorphosis Session!

"From the beginning both staff and students were very impressed with Maryejo. She is a genuine, down to earth, caring, lovely human being. Her attentiveness, sincerity and warmth endear her to all who meet her. During the past seventeen years, the Academy has had a fair number of guest instructors. Maryejo by far stands out as one who is not only deeply respected by all, but a teacher who students frequently ask to have return."
- Bill Flocco, Director of The American Academy of Reflexology, Los Angeles, CA

The wealth of information I took home from your class has served my clients again and again. It's quite obvious that the effects of Metamorphosis can be very quickly integrated within the recipient: my experience during and after class as well as the response of my clients has been the living proof a sometimes-skeptic like me needed.
Metamorphosis has greatly enhanced my work by illuminating a whole new approach to understanding the occurrences in my life and the lives of my clients. It has added another rich level of awareness to my reflexology techniques. I have been fascinated by the work since your class, and am excited to take your next class when it is offered in the fall."
- Lisa Hensell, Director of The Seattle School of Reflexology, Seattle, WA

Metamorphosis is a gentle type of touch that is applied to specific points on the feet, hands and head. The focus is on reflex areas of the spine, which correspond to the pre-natal time. The period before birth is the formative time in which the body is shaped and attitudes and patterns of our mental and emotional structure are established. Stress which occurs at conception and in the nine-month gestation period influences our life after birth.

The intention is to bring the prenatal time into focus in order to release blocks and limiting patterns. Metamorphosis acts as a catalyst to gently release and clear patterns in the body which have been held by the client. The practitioner of Metamorphosis is simply the catalyst; the client's natural inner intelligence releases patterns and blocks in its own time. So Metamorphosis as a process is subtle, yet powerful... powerful yet subtle. Often the result is that an actual metamorphosis of our attitudes towards ourselves and life takes place, which frees us from the past and enables us to fulfill our potential. Not unlike the caterpillar that "morphs" into a butterfly.

Anyone can benefit from learning Metamorphosis. It is also a wonderful gift in the hands of body workers and Reflexologists. In a two-day workshop, a useful working knowledge of Metamorphosis can be learned.
