Read About Tova’s Experience in Stress Relief
Tova
began playing the violin at age eight. Her incredible talent brought
her the opportunity to be a participant in a full concert orchestra
program involving predominately senior level musicians. This set the
tone for Tova’s entire life, recognition of her unique abilities and
talents which greatly surpass her chronological years. Tova went on to
major in music performance in violin and viola and graduated with
special distinction and numerous awards from the University of
Oklahoma.
During her seven years (1988-1994) as a professional musician, Tova
was a core member of the first violin section in the Oklahoma City
Philharmonic Orchestra and the Lawton Philharmonic Orchestra. As quoted
by Joel Levine, OKC Philharmonic Music Director, “She was in the front
ranks of the ‘first call’ players for all sorts of free-lance work. Her
ability to adapt to a wide variety of musical styles made her a favorite
choice of both local and national theater conductors.” These included
Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, the Santa Fe Opera Orchestra, Accademia
Filharmonica, and the Texas Baroque Ensemble. She was a featured soloist
many times with Go For Baroque and the Norman Chamber Orchestra.
Tova maintained a large private studio of students ranging in age
from five to sixty-five. She was chosen as the private instructor within
the Norman Public Schools and the Baptist Fine Arts Academy. She was
also honored as a special instructor for the University of Oklahoma and
the Oklahoma Baptist University. These 22 years of experience in music
gave Tova the ability to be in tune and harmonized on a level that
greatly surpasses the limitations of language. When the performance is
in progress, the only communication possible is non-verbal. This gives
Tova skill and ability that are usually absent in the workplace.
A crisis helped redirect Tova into her present occupation as owner
and facilitator of Stress Release Technology. While playing violin
professionally, Tova began to experience partial paralysis which at
first she thought might be stage fright. Many of her colleagues had
experienced this condition which they treated with medication. Because
the medication exacerbated Tova’s condition, and caused depression Tova
decided to find alternative solutions. She investigated several
different methods of treatment, all to no avail. Luckily, her massage
therapist introduced her to Frances Carrigan who was, at the time, teaching an education based on brain function.

Tova was amazed at the instant results from her work with Fran. Not only
did her paralysis disappear, but longer term conditions Tova had
thought permanent began to change and permanently heal. Needless to say,
Tova continued studying with Fran and eventually took a year off from
work to develop further research. Out of this year came Stress Release
Technology. SRT is in its fourteenth year and going strong.

Tova has been an integral part of Stress Release Technology’s
development. In the process of pursuing further education, Tova attended
the Southeastern School of Neuromuscular and Massage Therapy and Health
Builders School of Massage. She graduated with the Special Academic
Achievement Award for maintaining the highest grade point and maintained
National Certification in Massage Therapy for five years (1997-2001).
Along with her massage therapy training, she was also trained and
certified as a Colon hydro-therapist and maintained a practice for ten
years. Kinesiology has played a major role in Tova’s education and
development. She was certified as a Kinesiologist in 1994 as a part of
her education in brain function and behavioral genetics. She has been
practicing these techniques in Stress Release Technology for fourteen
years.
Tova’s health oriented education has been enhanced by her talent and
experience as a musician. As quoted by Alan Burdick, Conductor and
Music Director of the Lawton Philharmonic Orchestra, “Tova possesses a
strong sense of dedication and responsibility and has the knack of
inspiring those around her to high levels of performance. Cooperative
and easy to work with, she maintains a sharp sense of humor and
optimistic attitude toward performing and working with others. Tova
balances an easy-going temperament with a self-imposed discipline of her
art in a way that creates a comfortable atmosphere for those around
her.” Tova’s dynamic personal charisma is inspiring to all who know her
and her personal recovery, like Fran’s, is at the heart of SRT’s
success. Click Here to Schedule a Free Stress Reduction Session With Tova
