About Us

• EXPERIENCE I bring over 30 years of experience to my therapeutic massage/bodywork practice and am fascinated by the new insights and techniques I am learning. The uniqueness of my work has to do with the education piece. I use visualization to engage my clients' nervous systems in the work. Clients understand what is happening and the work goes deeper. I have worked on many A-list celebrities and high-ranking leaders as well as people from all walks of life. I incorporate 3 decades of knowledge and experience in dance, yoga, expressive arts, and healing arts into my bodywork sessions. TECHNIQUES Swedish massage Deep tissue Sports massage Car accidents (Whiplash, Back Injury, etc.) May be paid by insurance: Inquiry Craniosacral Therapy Shiatsu Supported stretching Visceral manipulation Emotional process (trauma) bodywork Health Coaching TRAINING My certification with Toshiko Phipps, who was the massage therapist for the Japanese Olympic team in the 1960's, at the Nippon Shiatsu Daigaku included Western and Eastern sports massage techniques, trigger points, Shiatsu, and vibrational work, all of which is very effective for a number of injuries. I have also studied Body-Mind Centering® with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Sara White, and others. In 1993, I was certified in Bodywork by the Nippon Shiatsu Daigaku and nationally certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB). In addition, I have training in many emotional, coaching, and somatic therapeutic techniques including: Co-Counseling, Inner Bonding®, Generative Leadership, and more. Please see Biography.
