While in California, Cris worked as a physical therapist and then taught other physical therapists in that office the energy work she had developed. Additionally, starting in 1992, Cris was listed for four years in Who's Who of American Inventors for inventing an innovative, state-of-the-art table massager designed to relieve sciatica and neck pain. In Cris' own words,
While at IPSB, one of the subjects taught was Body Psychology. The first time I had a body “reading,” I was amazed at the insight of how connected our bodies are with our subconscious mind's beliefs. I never dreamed my body could tell my life's story. Body Psychology introduced me to myself; my body was the “Informant” of my life.
I wondered how this could be possible. How could my body be so expressive of my inner self? How could my life's history be seen in the way my muscles were shaped? Fixed muscular patterns in the body are central to a person's way of being in the world. The body says things about one's emotional history and deepest feelings, character and personality. The staggering of a drunk and the light graceful walk of a dancer tells who they are in their movement through life.
The more I learned, I questioned whether the body created the mind or the mind created the body? This was a personal transformation and changed my life. After 35 years I became an expert by exploring, observing, and teaching “Interpreting Body Psychology.”
Cris lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, with her cat, Spot.
