EP 164: Reflecting your values in your bodywork business with Candace Pantoga

In this episode I speak with Occupational Therapist and Bodywork Project alum Candace Pantoga, who describes how her longtime work in social justice led her to give back to her community through Craniosacral Therapy.

Listen in as Candace describes how she got involved in social justice issues and how she ultimately had to choose the best ways to make a difference.

This week on the Do It With Intention Podcast:

• Learn how a colleague changed Candace’s worldview with one simple piece of advice, and how she became an ambassador for CranioSacral Therapy.

• Learn how you can use your massage and bodywork business to help local non-profits, and how a donation based clinic works.

• Find out why many journeys to healing are cyclical rather than linear, and how this is often the case with social justice as well.

Resources from this episode:

Candace is a Diplomate Certified Craniosacral Therapist, a Certified Presenter and study group leader through the Upledger Institute, who started practicing CST in 2012. She enjoys many aspects of CranioSacral Therapy, including taking classes, TAing, mentoring, participating in multiple-hands sessions and Comprehensive Therapy Programs, as well as treating clients 1:1.

The philosophy behind her business is one of creating opportunities for more people to receive CranioSacral Therapy—whether that means volunteering her time at a homeless shelter, creating a donation based clinic, building relationships with non-profit agencies who serve low income individuals, or mentoring as many CranioSacral practitioners as allows in her schedule. Outside of her practice, Candace spends her time on self care, family activities, walking with friends, cuddling with her dog, and listening to mystery novels.
