Bios:

Cendie Stanford is a first-generation college graduate to earn two Master’s Degrees, one BA Degree, and a business certificate from the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University. A Texas native & former public-school educator, she is extremely passionate about Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) education and trauma awareness. Cendie Stanford has lived experiences with childhood adversities, most of which were experienced in zip code 79403. Unaware that her childhood adversities played a role in how she responded to stressors in her career as an educator, relationships, and even parenting, she sought out the why. Two decades of experience working in the public education sector, Cendie traded in her classroom keys in order to secure a business license to spread the message of ACEs in corners of the world that needed to hear it most. Living with the consequences of childhood wounds for over four decades, Cendie took a leap of faith to start ACEs Matter as a not-for-profit organization because she believed everyone deserved access to this science. Cendie says, “Seeing adults who are struggling due to the templates from their childhood and seeing children being reared in similar environments motivate her to work harder at this vision for ACEs Matter.” Since 2021, Cendie has made several public appearances discussing the impacts of ACEs as a lived experience survivor in underserved and professional communities. Her long-term goals include empowering Title 1 schools and communities with research backed practices that aid in nurturing the neurons of students, parents, and educators that have been affected by adverse childhood experiences. Cendie serves as a mentor for youth and rising education entrepreneurs. She has also conducted more than 10,000 hours of professional development training and over 150 hours of online interviews.”

Healers of Hilton Head Series: Terisha Tatter – The Healing Gifts of Pilates and Massage Therapy

Special Edition: Healers of Hilton Head Series

I am so excited to share with you the HEALERS OF HILTON HEAD SERIES!

Episode 16

Today I welcome Terisha Tatter, licensed and Nationally Board Certified instructor specializing in Body Function Recovery, Fertility Enhancement, Pain Management, Performance Enhancement and Stress Reduction.

Bio:

After a severe Horseback Riding accident in 2006, Terisha Tatter herniated her Lumbar Disc L3/L4 and fractured her sacrum, and thus suffered from low back and hip pain as well as pain radiating down her leg. She found it difficult to roll over. She chose not to go the typical Physical Therapy route,* but chose nutrition, Pilates, The Arvigo Technique Maya Massage, and MyoFascial Release therapeutic technique for her recovery path. After four weeks her Orthopedist was AMAZED at her progress.

(*As she is not a medical doctor nor does she give medical advice, she recommends all her clients seek Physical Therapy post-surgery or injury).

On another note, she also suffered from some fertility issues all her life (the doctors had told her for over 20 years that she would need fertility drugs when she wanted to have a family,) but through the work of The Arvigo Technique that changed within a couple of months and she became pregnant with her son Ethan. She kept up with her Abdominal Massage work and had the kind of pregnancy women envy.  She was also listed as “HIGH RISK” because of her age, but had zero problems.

Her experiences and training have been a gift she feels honored to share with as many people as want to experience it.  Her training and experiences offer her the ability to enhance your use of your body and reinstate function where it has been lost without drugs or surgery.
