Education, Training & Experience

Following are the modalities in which I've been professionally trained and which I use during the course of a bodywork session

Therapeutic Massage Swedish, Neuromuscular and Myofascial techniques manipulate muscle tissue and fascia for healing and relaxation. These modalities range from gentle pressure and movement to deeper contact with taut bands of muscle tissue. The client always determines appropriate depth of pressure.

Reiki This ancient healing art reconnects individuals with the innate healing potential of the human body and the energy of the Universe. In this modality, hands are gently placed on or above the client. Recipients of Reiki comment on the sense of peace and relaxation it creates.

Conscious Breathing By focusing awareness on the breath, clients learn to let go of judgmental chatter from the mind and return to the sensations and wisdom of the body. Sometimes referred to as Rebirthing, this technique is helpful in deeply energizing the body, mind and spirit.
