Marvelous Mentor - Dr. Leslie Peterson

Dr. Leslie Peterson is the founder and medical director of Full Circle Care, located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

I am humbled and grateful to have Leslie in my life…my review of her work and her review of my book will give you a peek at how impactful this woman has been in my life.

Be Well. ~Tiffany

Google Review, posted December 2019:

Dr. Leslie Peterson has been my trusted physician for decades. I first found her practice when my son was still in elementary school (he is now 33). At that time I was seeking a female doctor who had a holistic approach. And I found a winning combination as Dr. Peterson continues to surpass my expectations as a caring practitioner who is highly knowledgeable, professional, well versed in her trade, and has walked beside me during some of the toughest health crisis I have ever faced. While some of my health concerns required the help of specialists, Dr. Peterson has continued to be a source of support and a valuable part of my wellness team. The doctors and healthcare providers I seek 'partner with me' and support me as I care for my health to the best of my ability. Dr. Peterson speaks candidly to me - I can be myself and completely candid and honest with her as well to set health goals and discuss how I can best manage my health. My relationship with Dr. Peterson has evolved and grown. My own career in health has blossomed with her in my life as a role model and mentor. After surviving life threatening illness and receiving dual hip replacement Dr. Peterson encouraged me to write then later read and reviewed my published book, Butternut to Bionic: A Resource Guide to Hip Replacement Surgery. After publication I had mailed her a signed copy...and included her name first on my acknowledgment and dedication list. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Leslie Peterson and Full Circle Care as an invaluable resource and group of healthcare providers that can and will care for your health. Team up with them - a proactive approach and partnership has improved my life and can improve yours too!

Amazon review of Butternut to Bionic: A Resource Guide for Hip Replacement Surgery, 2017

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2017

I am so grateful Tiffany wrote this book! Even though it is specific for those going through hip replacement, her advice is relevant for most any type of surgery. I loved her section on interviewing surgeons and how you can become a more savvy patient by being informed and asking the right questions. She will guide you every step of the way as she has knows the path well. This book will definitely be on my list of recommendations for my patients going through hip replacement, and more. And - it's very well written and easy to read! Thank you, Tiffany!

Marvelous Mentor - Jonathan Goldman

Music is multi-faceted - entertaining, relaxing, and healing. If you’ve ever been swept away by a favorite tune, taken back in time listening to a song you loved years ago, then you understand the power of music.

Jonathan Goldman, President of Spirit Music and Director of the Sound Healers Association was first introduced to me in 2008 while studying the healing art of Reiki. If you’ve visited my Live Events page, you’ll know that on February 14, 2022 I was one of thousands of individuals who participated in the 20th Annual World Sound Healing Day and connected to Johnathan virtually to heal the planet, heal our waters, and to raise consciousness.

While Jonathan is yet another mentor from a distance, his work through music and sound has been part of my life and work for over two decades. The Angel and The Goddess was my first purchase - and a CD I continue to enjoy. Sound is transformative. And for those of us who practice and partake of alternative healthcare, such as Reiki and massage therapy, we understand that music can amplify the health effects of therapeutic touch.

Jonathan's amazing work can be accessed at the links below…I especially encourage you to visit The Temple of Sacred Sound, which is a mesmerizing online space to chant and meditate.

Be Well. ~Tiffany Anderson, LMT, RMT, BS, CHES

De-Stress Spirit Music

Marvelous Mentor - Belleruth Naparstek

In the late 1990’s I purchased and read the book, Staying Well with Guided Imagery, by Belleruth Naparstek. Belleruth is a psychotherapist, author, founder of Health Journeys, and guided imagery pioneer. After securing permission from Health Journeys, I incorporated Belleruth’s guided imagery audios and scripts into both my professional and personal life. As you can see from the photo…cassettes were in use at that time. These copies still reside in my home office, and yes, they still work. The results that my clients experienced when I paired therapeutic massage alongside guided imagery were outstanding…each client reported a number of positive results such as less pain, higher quality sleep, anxiety diminished, and their moods improved.

Shortly after the attack on 9/11, I traveled to attend a conference in Palm Springs, CA where I met Belleruth Naparstek in person, asked her to autograph my book (shown), and earned an Association of Humanistic Psychology Certification in Guided Imagery. Flying to that conference was a surreal experience in itself due to the shock we all felt after the twin towers fell in New York. Arriving in LAX from my home town of Salt Lake was eerie - LAX was full of military personnel donned in combat gear in case of further attack. Nevertheless, my traveling companions and I were grateful that we took our chances traveling by air during a frightening time. The conference and training were well worth the risk!

Later in life, when I became ill and faced hip replacement surgery, I used the CD listed below to help me prepare for each of the three joint replacement surgeries I endured in 2011 and 2012. This is the same guided imagery audio that I mention in my book, Butternut to Bionic: A Resource Guide for Hip Replacement Surgery. The powerful and reassuring messages alongside beautiful music boosted my confidence, comforted my fears, soothed anger and grief, reduced stress, and helped me to manage pain.  Guided imagery offers impactful results that have been well documented. Read the research here.

A Meditation to Promote Successful Surgery By Belleruth Naparstek

Belleruth has been a long-time mentor of mine, and even though our in-person meeting was brief…her work continues to inspire, motivate, and soothe me.

Notice her signature in the photo? Belleruth inspired me to wish others to ‘Be Well’. This is the tag line I adopted, in tribute to her. Guided imagery is a valuable tool that is accessible, affordable, and continues to assist countless numbers of people, which is why I continue to encourage others to incorporate guided imagery into their wellness routine.

A Month Long Tribute to Marvelous Mentors. First...

During the month of May, Anderson Therapeutics’s Founder will continue the focus on social health by paying tribute to some of the many mentors who have helped to shape her life. Some of those mentors are near and dear to Tiffany, while others are distant and may not realize the impact they have had on our Founder. Whether they mentored her by encouragement, or by role modeling, or simply by sharing their gifts and talents, each of these individuals holds a strong presence in Tiffany’s life.

We honor these mentors alongside Tiffany, and know that within each of us is both a mentor and a mentee.

~The Anderson Therapeutics Team

While taking a long walk this morning, I was struck with a humbling moment of gratitude as I reflected on those who have touched my life. This led me to the idea of writing a daily post as a further way to express this attitude of gratitude.

If these insights interest you, I challenge you to think about those who have mentored or are currently mentoring you - if they are still living, reach out and express your thanks. If they have passed on, send them your wishes during quiet time in meditation or prayer.

First on my list…I choose to honor my mother and grandmothers who I rely on for my existence. These women are the bloodline and genetics of how I came to be. I thank my mother for giving me life, and I thank my grandmothers for offering a dual presence of both dark and light. These three women endured great hardship at the hands and harsh words of alcoholics, brutes, womanizers, and helped me to understand the power and strength of independence, feminism, and education. Watching their pain, submission, and loss throughout my childhood/adulthood led me to strive for a life of freedom and to celebrate all stages of womanhood, such as the stage I live in now…which is Crone stage.

A post-menopausal woman in my family line was mostly rejected, ridiculed, belittled, and criticized. I have stepped away from toxic relationships and rid myself of the outdated standards of a woman needing a man. I honor the women in my family who are still caught in a toxic web of dysfunctional relationships…I send them Reiki, my love. and wishes that they too can set themselves free. My maternal Grandma Ann, now deceased, urged me decades ago to retain my freedom after I experienced a messy divorce, telling me that she envied me, begged me to never remarry, and sadly shared that she saw no way out of her own destructive second marriage.

I have kept my promise, and after many trials and tribulations, have learned that I prefer my own company, am soul-partnered, and respect who I am…which is a woman enjoying falling in love with herself. This is something that the women who raised me did not experience. Tragedy offers valuable life lessons, and a role model isn’t necessarily one who demonstrates positive behavior. Learning from adversity has it’s own benefits.

Be Well. ~Tiffany

Healthy Living on a Budget

To say that I am frugal is an understatement. I am a coupon diva and extreme bargain hunter. I seek out deals for travel, retail, entertainment, transportation, food, and anything related to my healthcare. Managing chronic conditions can be extremely expensive; though by practicing prevention I know that I am protecting myself and saving money in the long run. Freebie wellness habits like daily walks, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding tobacco and alcohol are some of my favorite good health habits. Below I’ve shared a few budget savvy methods that fall in line with my 3 Key Concepts to Live Well & Be Well. As with any advice, speak to your doctor before implementing anything that may affect your health.

Be Well! ~Tiffany Anderson, LMT, RMT, BS, CHES

Soothe:

• Indigestion or heartburn? Drink 1/4 teaspoon baking soda dissolved in 1/4 cup water OR chew a small piece of crystallized ginger OR sip on chamomile tea OR chew sugarless peppermint gum. Simple solution...avoid harmful foods since diet is the number one culprit. Dine well and if you choose to indulge, accept the consequences of your food choices.

• Sensitive skin, shingles, contact dermatitis? Stay indoors when temperatures soar, avoid excessive sun exposure, and check your water heater. High heat aggravates many skin conditions and hot water can scald. Turn the temperature down to 120 degrees to protect yourself and save on heating bills. Cold compresses, ice packs, Epsom salt gel, and magnesium spray are aids I prefer to relieve inflammation, strain, and muscle aches.

Nourish:

• Constipation, hernias, or digestive complaints?  Foods like rice, oats, and potatoes support the health of our colon, are filling, rich in nutrients, and very inexpensive. Avoid toppings that contain oil. Why avoid oil? The quick answer is from Dr. John McDougall, “The fat you eat is the fat you wear”. Learn more about the consequences of oil in your diet here.

Rest:

• Insomnia? Stream nature sounds like ocean waves at bedtime or tune into a tapping/EFT video with Brad Yates to help you wind down.

• Aches & pains keeping you awake? Try acupuncture, my number one method to relieve and manage chronic pain. Community based clinics are affordable and many health plans may cover the cost, check with your insurance carrier.
