Welcome to my website, I am Norma Alvarado Fritzinger a licensed massage therapist (L.M.T.) and I like everyone I meet: please avoid being the exception .  Being a native Austinite,     " who's- Momma- done -told -her",  "We Are Friendly in Austin".  I am old enough to remember when Barton Springs was crystal-clear without visible algae anywhere ( I was a toddler, so that was a while back). I use to trace the patterns in the rocks with my finger.

Life is too short to be perpetually upset with reality. I look for beauty and laughter where ever I am, whatever I am doing, and when I cannot find these; I pray.

I pray for Goodness and Mercy to undo evil. I pray that we each avoid evil and do good. It is totally easy when I realize I must only give all I have and nothing less, than my best-self.

Since I am not the Source of Eternal Truth or Eternal Life I pray to the One Who is Prefect Truth, Life Eternal and He renews me.  I am "a-born-again" "cradle Catholic" which means I know why I am here.

Because one needs to renewed in body as well as spirit: I eat, hydrate, dance and sing (not simultaneously of course). I enjoy cooking from scratch in different cuisines. I am told I sing very well and that feels really good. My biggest fans are children and birds.  I really enjoy blessing people with my gifts and am very humbled to receive from others their gifts.

I have been working on family and friends intutitvely (after having studied human anatomy and physiology in high school) for decades before I had bodywork.   After being hit from behind, at a high rate of speed (times two) . I quickly found how impossible chronic, acute pain was to having normalcy.  I avoid narcotics and so chiropractic therapy is what I sought (fortunately massage was included).

Prior to the treatments I was in acute, chronic pain as the normal spinal curvature had been replaced by the complete opposite. My nerves were now being crushed by the vertebra and I had electrical, stabbing pain from the crown to pelvis, most especially in the nerve endings.

As my spine was "put back into normal curvature" ( thank you Dr. Wm. M. Lawson) the pain diminished by eighty percent, however, the scarring in the soft tissues remained very tender, bruised.  This is when I found how massage diminishes this myofascial (muscles, tendons and fascial) damage. I was able to sleep again. I had required several treatments in order to neutralize the scarring/adhesions and words cannot describe how good it feels" to lose the pain".

This is how I came to realize I had been helping others. I had been helping people overcome painful muscle,tendon, fascial patterns. I just knew how to push and stretch and recalled muscle patterns and they would fall asleep and stop hurting.

"i'm A.C.C."  the massage program exceeded 550 hours and the instructors were phenominal (Thank you, Alex, Jeff and Suzie!) I also enjoy taking classes with Lauterstein/ Conway .  I am always reading and listening to other peoples observations to see what I may learn.

Until we meet: be at Peace in all you do, Norma
