About my experience in Bodywork and Energywork.
Using my 20 years of assessment skills and knowledge of bodies, I will guide you through an assessment of your current pain condition and then make suggestions for exercises, trigger-point self-treatment, and other body-mind therapies.
I work in several modalities including Vibrational Healing Massage Therapy, Vibrational Energywork, Pain Neutralization Technique, and Breema Bodywork. In my one-on-one healing work, I especially enjoy supporting other healers and service-oriented people to feel whole and empowered so they can best serve their communities.
I began my training in 1997 at the World School of Massage and Holistic Healing Arts in San Francisco, where I became a Holistic Massage Therapist and Holistic Health Counselor. I continued training at the Breema Center in Oakland, studied Zen Shiatsu at the Providence Institute in Tucson, Muscle Release Technique with Michael Young, Pain Neutralization Technique with Stephen Kaufman, Craniosacral Balancing with Heidi Wilson, and Neuro-Muscular Therapy at A.S.I.S.
Are you in pain?
Physical Pain? Back? Neck? Shoulders? Hips, Legs, Feet? Have you been to doctors and been told to take anti-inflammatory drugs? Have you had an MRI and been told they cannot find anything? Are you suffering through the pain on a daily basis hoping for some relief and getting nothing?
How much is this costing you in pain and suffering? Missed work? Missing out on the things you enjoy?
Let me help.

Since 1997, I have been studying pain, my own and others, to find solutions. Through my study of Trigger Point Therapy with Clair Davies, Pain Neutralization (PNT) with Dr. Stephen Kaufman, and Muscle Release Technique and Repetitive Motion Injury Therapy with Michael Young, I have developed a set of tools that can quickly reduce and often eliminate neuromuscular pain and disfunction.
Neuromuscular pain can easily mimic other problems like arthritis and bursitis. These simple, hands-on techniques have done wonders for my clients. I would know in the first session if they will be effective for you.
