My first conscious experience of touch therapy was at age 4 when my stepdad would scratch my back. There was nothing more comforting and calming than this gentle, stimulating touch.
After many years of rigorous use of my body in sports and play, it occurred to me that Massage might be a good idea to ease the discomfort I was feeling in my shoulders and neck. Also, I had a hard time, relaxing, I don’t even think I knew what it was. Massage spoke to all of this…
I’ve completed 400 hours of training at McKinnon body therapy Institute in Swedish, deep tissue, shiatsu, and acupressure and I’ve got another 300 hours of assorted modalities or focuses. In addition I’ve worked for and with chiropractors for many years so my work is very informed by looking at/considering bone misalignments.
In the energetic realm I hold a level two Reiki attunement and am certified in The Shamsoma Method.
