Frequently Asked Questions

What is Transformational Release Therapy?

Transformational Release Therapy is a powerful system of healing and clearing developed by Margaretta McIlvaine.

It is a gentle but effective means to free the body's systems of stagnant, often deeply rooted emotional blockage, which profoundly affects the health of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. As one releases the blocks and limiting ideas of self, a new perception of self emerges. It is a unique experience for every individual as each of us holds energy patterning in our own way depending upon life experiences and our reactions to these experiences.
Margaretta uses her intuitive gifts to read these energies and in a co-creative process with the client is able to gently unravel patterns, habits and beliefs that are no longer supportive.

What is a session like?

The session begins with a brief discussion together to clearly create an intension for the work. As energy follows thought, this focused intension begins to shift the old energy patterns in the body. The rest of the session is done on a massage table. All energies that are not supportive of the intension are gently worked with and released. This is done through a guided journey, work with the breath, unraveling any faulty belief systems all which work together to assist one to deeply reconnect with the Self. Sometimes there are tears, sometimes laughter, sometimes energy surges resulting in a tingling sensation in the body, sometimes deep memories are uprooted, and often there is forgiveness of self and others. The session is different for everyone but it is a journey on which Margaretta travels with you so you are not alone in facing your fears.

What results can I expect?

The benefits of this work can be profound and life changing.Often because faulty belief systems are released, a new perception of life and self emerges freeing one from former constraints. This can be expressed as a new found sense of creativity, better communication and relations with others and a sense of being more deeply aware of connection with the Divine. It can also speed the healing process, relieve pain in the physical body and certainly accelerate personal growth.

Because of the profound nature of this transformational work, it is important for the client to allow significant time after the session to integrate the energies.

How do I prepare for a session?

  • Rest well the night before
  • Increase water intake
  • Consider your intension for the work
  • Dress in comfortable clothing
  • Please refrain from wearing fragrances as this distracts from the work

"To have one's eyes 'opened', to have the veil before one's vision removed is an extraordinary thing to experience, for it brings to light something that has long been hidden and gives new answers to old questions and a loosening of oppressive problems. With it often comes an overwhelming sense of awe and release of joy such that an experience of this kind may amount to inner liberation."- Babaji

What types of sessions are availble?

There are two types of sessions in Transformational Release Therapy available to clients, either or both may be accessed depending on the client's needs:

My wife, Sally, and I both have been on the receiving end of Maggie's wonderful hands and energy and we highly recommend her work. She has an extraordinary talent."

"Margaretta was the instrument by which 'my boots got laced' the soul connection for me who lovingly showed me how to exist in a world where I felt alien. It was during one of our initial sessions that I first came into contact with my 'guide' and it was a magical ride. My life is now wonderful. I moved into a new place, found my partner who has grounded me and I enjoy one day at a time and live now. Margaretta is part of that happiness."
Anne Candella

"I could not be the active person I am today if I hadn't found Margaretta. I could hardly walk when I started coming to her. I had been to many doctors and felt like I was getting worse. Together we healed a sore on my leg that had been open for three years. Now thanks to her I can enjoy my work and more outdoor activities. Thank you."
Lewis Ramsey
Winga, VA

"My first experience with Margaretta was incredible. It was also unexpected and dramatic. The release of my deep-rooted block; pain, misery guilt and especially anger has made me a lighter freer person. I realized that I put myself in my own emotional prison and only I could release myself. It was important for me to choose a highly evolved compassionate teacher to guide me along the path of removing my blocks, a teacher who has no personal agenda. Maggie is that for me and without her I could not have progressed so far. Today I have gained back the enthusiasm to go for things that are really important to me for fear no longer rules me as it once did."
