My healing journey began with an introduction to Reiki many years ago before it was well known in the West.  Shortly after becoming a certified practitioner I knew I needed to share this gift with as many people as possible.  After completing my Master/Teach training I continued to administer Reiki sessions and began teaching Reiki classes.

My healing journey began with an introduction to Reiki many years ago before it was well known in the West.  Shortly after becoming a certified practitioner I knew I needed to share this gift with as many people as possible.  After completing my Master/Teach training I continued to administer Reiki sessions and began teaching Reiki classes.

In 2000 a series of life events led me to the field of massage therapy which seemed like the perfect compliment to the healing work I was already doing.  I graduated from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy in April of 2012.  As a board-certified Licensed Massage Therapist for the state of Connecticut I opened a private practice in Manchester, and later moved my practice to Simsbury.

Having received additional training over the years I have now developed my own system of healing that addresses all aspects of the body, mind, and spirit.  In an effort to make this healing accessible to everyone I established The Center for Higher Living in 2017 where this service, as well as many other holistic modalities will be available in one centralized location.

He's the best!

It is so hard to describe this type of work. It is complex and simple at the same time and I have been recommending friends and family to go see Chip after my very first session. Through the work I realized that certain patterns kept presenting themselves that no longer served me, I was able to release those patterns in a way that felt thankful and gave me closure in certain parts of my life. One of my biggest takeaways was that we tell ourselves stories, whether they are stories we have created ourselves or stories that our family, friends or society has created for us. Some may be true but some may not be and it is so empowering to release what doesn't serve us. It allowed me to step fully into my power and start on the path of living my truth for my highest good. I highly recommend this for anyone who is ready to rewrite their story and step fully into who they are meant to be. Thank you Chip, xo!

Chip is an amazing instructor. His heart Shines through his practice

I knew chip when he was my instructor at the school firmly known as CCMT. I am now a LMT with 2 + years of experience and have been experiencing pains in my shoulder, neck and migraines from tension due to work and stresses. I had a mere 30 min service and i am already feeling so much better. My range of motion in my neck has improved and he was able to. Release some Trigger points, which helped me with my work over the weekend. I absolutely recommend Chip and his coworks, professional and works with what you need

I have attended two Soul Fire healing Sessions so far. I didn't know what to expect when I attended; but I can share that after the first appointment I felt an overwhelming amount of peace. I am excited to continue this journey.
