I am a seventh generation Maine native and live in the midcoast market town of Belfast with my wife daughter and 3 cats. I am the father of three, two grown and one in grammar school. I have one grandson. I first came to massage as a recipient as a means to address the physical effects of life stress on my mind and body. I have been a Maine licensed massage therapist for 17 years. I took my massage training at the Downeast School of Massage in Waldoboro, Maine. My program of study was based in Swedish and deep tissue massage with an emphasis on slow methodical "listening" work. I have further education in Craniosacral techniques from the Upledger institute.
