Massage Therapy
Not only did I complete 4 years of training in the Ohashiatsu program, I also repeated many of the levels by assisting the directors. I took extra educational classes in 5 Element Theory, as well as Zen spirituality. For a short time, before moving, I worked on members of the Chicago symphony, and in upscale hotels downtown Chicago.
Sporadically throughout the years I have enjoyed being an Instructor. I have taught classes for Shiatsu, Eastern modalities, Pathophysiology, as well as massage techniques. I believe this demonstrates an ability to listen well and inspire growth.
Massage Therapists are required to keep their licenses updated by taking Continuing Education courses. I have taken many courses over the years. And I have trained in spa therapies as well. The following is a list of modalities I am adept in. Medical massage, Shiatsu, Esalen, Reflexology, Spa therapies such as scrubs, body wraps, scalp massage, dry brushing, aromatherapy, chakra meditation, hot stone massage, myofascial release, stretching techniques, relaxation as well as deep tissue massage.
To see and touch the inside of our anatomy is amazing. Some of the important take aways are body mechanics and ergonomics. I know anatomy and physiology even better than most therapists.
After successfully practicing massage and spa therapies for over 10 years, I became the Spa Director. Understanding fully the customer service side of the day spa from all angles. Education is the sleepy underside of massage. Whether the therapist is learning through listening or actually furthering ones expertise. I enjoy learning and sharing what I know. I am always happy to make recommendations and or referrals.
