I began my path to body work through my experience with Martial Arts.  Through my training at Hand to Hand Kajukenbo and Self Defense Center in Oakland, California, I saw that there were many opportunities for body connection and healing.  I was invited to learn Tui Na (Chinese Medicinal Massage) and fell in love with the art of healing.  I am now a full time student at the The American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACTCM) in San Francisco, California, where I will earn my Doctorate and become an Acupuncturist.  I earned my Massage Therapist Certification through ACTCMs Shiatsu Program.  Shiatsu is about applying pressure to different areas on the body to promote physical and mental well being, physical discomfort and other byproducts of stress or injury.
