Meet MarLeice Hyde, founder of Erasing Pain, 

During the Q&A panel, she’ll answer questions on how microcurrent therapy is a tool that can elevate your bodywork practice.

With over 30 years of experience in healthcare—ranging from conventional medicine to holistic healing—MarLeice specializes in bridging the gap between Eastern and Western approaches to pain relief. Marleice developed the 5 Pillars of Erasing Pain framework and teaches how microcurrent therapy can accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and support long-term client wellness. She’ll be demonstrating the devices and offering them for purchase, along with practical guidance on how to integrate them into your sessions with confidence and intention.

What is microcurrent therapy?
Microcurrent therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses extremely low levels of electrical current—so gentle it mimics the body’s own natural bioelectricity—to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and support tissue repair. Conveniently delivered by a small hand-held device with various attachments, these currents feel like a gentle tingle or spreading warmth as they work their magic. 

Think of it like this:

Just as massage manipulates soft tissue to improve circulation and nervous system function, microcurrent delivers subtle electrical signals to the body that enhance cellular communication and energy production—especially ATP (the energy currency of cells). This boosts the body's ability to heal from the inside out.

What it does:

• Accelerates tissue repair (great for injuries, sprains, post-surgical recovery)

• Reduces inflammation and pain

• Re-educates muscles (especially helpful in facial work or postural imbalances)

• Improves circulation and lymphatic flow

• Softens scar tissue and adhesions
  
  

Why massage therapists love it:

• It complements hands-on work beautifully.

• It gives you a high-tech tool that respects the body’s natural rhythms.

• It allows for deep therapeutic change—without deep pressure.

• You can integrate it into sessions or offer it as a standalone modality.

What sets Derek apart is his heart for service and strategy. He’s been in the trenches, grown through trial and error, and continues to evolve his work to serve both clients and practitioners. Now, he’s working to get approved to teach CEUs so he can pass on what he’s learned to other professionals ready to rise.
