There are numerous massage and bodywork techniques; the experienced therapist like Milica can always find the suitable tool. Which one is the best for you?

Milica always adjusts her technique to suit the client. Because each person is unique and has different needs at different times, every session is unique and custom tailored to the client. 

The most important concept of our work together is that the client has a deep inner wisdom that knows what needs to be done. Therefore, therapist and client work together to discover what needs to be worked on. In other words, the therapist does not "fix" the client or "does" something TO them, but rather therapist and client work together. The therapist listens to what the client's body requires and then follows up. It is like a dance, where the client is leading. 

Clients range from athletic to delicate; ill and injured to healthy; young to old; novices in the health field to professionals, requiring treatments from deep work to light touch and just talking.

Usually, sessions are rather comfortable. There could be some pain when releasing the knots, but it feels like a "good pain" of releasing, it lasts a short time and it feels much better afterwards. For people with injuries and very tight knots, there could be some more pronounced pain, if we work on an accelerated schedule and cram all work in one session. We could work very gently using myofascial release techniques, but then you have to come back for repeated sessions. For some people with serious long term pains, the "remodeling" will take repeated sessions. In any case, an occasional maintenance is excellent as a preventative measure, and it would be better to take that route.

The most beneficial, permanent outcomes are for people who are willing to do something to help themselves. Although it might seem that Milica can "fix" you, i.e. most likely you will feel better after a session because your knots will be released and your thinking will be clearer, the permanent change will come only when you do something in your life, regularly. The knots will come back, the stress will come back and "get you" unless you do something for yourself on regular basis. Milica will teach you what you could do. And, you can still come back for maintenance sessions. Think of them as haircuts, changing oil in your car, or any other regular maintenance activity.

A human being needs maintenance on all levels in order to sustain optimum health, because living requires using muscles, thinking and feeling, and contains much stress as well as joy. Human body requires the obvious physical maintenance of proper food, stretching, exercise, sleep, and other intangibles such as proper environment and satisfying human relationships. Therefore, the bodywork stems from and addresses the totality of human being.

The totality of human being is a great mystery. There seems to be something Divine that makes life possible, that makes us alive. We can call that Divine as God, Great Creator, Great Mystery, Tao, White Light, Great Light, Universe, Life, and many other names. Whatever we want to call that Divine that makes life possible, our belief is that connecting to It is the only thing that heals, and disconnecting from It is the thing that causes dis-ease and pain. Therefore, our main goal is to Reconnect and practice that elusive yet necessary I AM sense of presence. It is not necessary to do anything special to reconnect to the Divine spark inside. We just need to ask for it, gratefully accept it and use it with a sense of appreciation.

In other words, the main philosophy of Milica's work is that God is the only ultimate healer, and that you already know how to get in touch with Him. Milica is just a tool to help you Remember. You heal yourself. Just talk to God in the language of your Heart. Once connected to the Infinite, it is easier to do all that is required to maintain the body in the physical form. Then our life has meaning, zest, and joy, and we eagerly participate in it.

God is not a nasty alien or yet another revengeful human, but something that is Infinite, the Great Mystery, the Great Creator, the Great Light, that leads us towards our greatest potential. God has infinite and almost smoochey compassion, and a very strict, disciplining side. Being afraid of It is for a good reason; It does ask us to be responsible, take care of ourselves and our duties in the world, and follow our heart's longing. It will do anything possible to help us move in that direction. And, my experience definitely shows that It loves us and protects us. The troubles come when we do not follow that path, but rather listen to our own mind.

Universe is a request-and-response mechanism. It is ultimately there to help us. If we don't cooperate, then it cannot help us. So let's do our part and assure we get the help we need. Below is a gift for you, to help you keep your heart joyful and Remembering. The text is a translation from some sacred text in Sanscrit. Keep on saying it, mean it, and God will talk to you. This Connection is what is necessary for good health. God already talks to us all the time, but we are not aware of it. When our heart opens, we become more aware.


So, dial 1-800-CALL-GOD from your heart and earnestly say:

"Oh Master, show some compassion on me. Please come and dwell in my heart because without you, it is painfully lonely. Fill this empty pot with nectar of love. I do not know any special worship. I know and believe only in you. I have been searching for you all over the world. Please come and hold my hand now."

Our Nature is Healing and Nature Helps Us
