I have had 1 year experience specifically assisting people who have suffered from recent automobile accidents.

 

My journey, my tools, my compassion, my vocation, my outreach, my art.

I decided to go to school for massage and Shiatsu when I was 44. I was looking for a change in my career, and my loving and supportive partner suggested I look into massage. We were beginner Triathletes, and sore and tired. We had been nursing each other's muscles for a couple of years.

It was not long before I started to realize that there was more to massage and Shiatsu than relieving musculoskeletal pain. I began to understand the powerful dynamics of human touch. I became aware of the change my classmates were awakening in me as we practiced on one another in class. My eyes saw my classmates transform as layers of habit faded away, unveiling their true selves.  It was beautiful!

Oh how lucky I was to take that first step on this journey, and how excited I am to share my knowledge with you!

Stress is part of every person's life. Finding your natural stride - the movement that is natural for YOU - is important. When was the last time you let go in a healthy way? When was the last time you connected with your authentic self -- mind, body, and spirit?

Massage treats the outer, which affects the inner. Shiatsu uses doorways that lead to inner paths which affect the outward conditions, or Root Causes. I have been trained in both Massage and Shiatsu. I enjoy integrating the Western ideas of Massage and the Eastern ideas of Shiatsu into one goal - creating a healthier, more robust you.
