To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. ~ Buddha

As I child and teenager, often I would receive, body work from my mom and her friends. I always found the massage and body work profession interesting and loved the healing I saw it bringing people.

As I child and teenager, often I would receive, body work from my mom and her friends. I always found the massage and body work profession interesting and loved the healing I saw it bringing people. 


I first trained in Thai Massage at the Omega Institute in 2003.  In 2011 After I attended Irene's Myomassolgy Institute in Southfield Michigan I became licensed as a massage therapist in the state of Michigan and began a regular practice.  At Irene's I continued the study of Thai Massage and branched out into therapeutic forms of massage including neuromuscular release, myofascial, positional release all mixing under the muscular skeletal form of massage called Myomassology. 


My yoga training is comprehensive and exceeds the standard way of tracking yoga in the West, as most of my teachers are traditional Yogis from India and not part of the Americanized credentialing system.   I am a 300 hour Certified Yoga Therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT).   I have 400 hours of formal training through Yoga Alliance, 200 hours in Kundalini Yoga as Taught by Yogi Bhajan and 200 hours with Yoga Therapy OM.  I have been a student of Ayurveda since 2003.

 

In addition to my work as a Yoga Therapist my bodywork specializes in Thai massage and therapeutic table massage.  I also practice Orthopedic assessment of the spine.  In 2018 I am studying Orthopedic Assessment and massage for all of the other major joints in the body.


My regular clients visit me for management of chronic pain and to help develop yoga programs for greater wellness. 

 

My office is located in Ypsilanti in the Depot Town Neighborhood. I also offer massage at The Health and Fitness Center at Wasthenaw Community College and at my Yoga Studio in Downtown Ypsilanti. The Yoga Maya Center For Yogic Arts and Culture. The Yoga Maya Center is home of the 200 hour yoga teacher training I run with the help of my fiancee Miriam Joy Dowd.

In my free time I enjoy leading call and response Yogic chanting and lead a monthly event called the Full Moon Kirtan.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Yoga services

by Caroline on Mar 22
This was my first Thai Massage, and I loved it! Trevor did a great job checking in with me beforehand to talk about my body history and issues, explained how Thai Massage differs from traditional massage, and how it can aid in healing/relieving those issues. If you haven't tried Thai Massage yet -- do it :)!

very knowledgeable and provided helpful and specific movements to help alleviate pain

Trevor is great about adjusting each session to what I most need - which area of my body needs attention or modifying yoga poses for my hyperflexible joints.
by Vanessa on Feb 22
The massage was very tailored to my individual body, and Trevor seemed incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Will definitely book again.

I have done zoom yoga classes with Trevor in the past, and it was excellent to do in-person assessment of some of my poses and my particular physical challenges.

Trevor was very friendly and did a great job of asking questions/being curious about where I was at mentally/physically before suggesting solutions. He was consistently asking for feedback and helping make adjustments when he introduced new (to me) techniques.

I have been having massages with Trevor regularly (once every 1-2 weeks) for 3 months. He is clearly very knowledgeable about musculoskeletal anatomy and useful massage techniques to target problem areas. I have chronic issues with hip misalignment and low back stiffness. Trevor expertly pinpoints tight spots and gently but firmly releases ligaments and muscles to provide immediate relief. I leave every massage feeling very relieved and lighter in my own body. I have also found Trevor’s yoga therapy sessions to be very helpful. Trevor’s extensive experience and expertise in yoga techniques helps him to educate and guide his clients on how to help themselves as well. He has corrected some of my improper form in poses that I was previously familiar with, and also taught me new poses that will specifically address my needs. Trevor is always professional, but also listens carefully and thoughtfully to my specific issues so that he can help me decipher the underlying issues to properly address my chronic pain and discomfort. He makes me feel respected, understood, and empowered to manage and overcome my persistent misalignment issues. I am so thankful that I found Ann Arbor Massage and Yoga Therapy!
