My name is Joan

I'm an Advanced Esthetician and have also been an LMT for nearly 25 years. In 2002 upon graduating from Ashmead College of Massage in Vancouver, WA. I went on to study Structural Integration with Jeremy Sutton – a Rolfer – who taught Sports And Clinical Therapies at Ashmead. This comprehensive program included personal training and structural integration as well as sports and injury recovery. Since then I gone in depth to continue my education and have studied pelvic floor therapy, Advanced Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy, Somato-emotional Release, Reiki, Traditional Thailand Massage, Ashiatsu, Sarga, Gua Sha, Fire Cupping, and for three years I was a student in Chinese and integrative medicine and acupuncture. I have worked on professional athletes, world travelers, automobile accident victims, migraine sufferers, and chronic pain sufferers, in fitness centers, medical offices, clinics, spas, festivals, and homes. 

My motivation for healing may be genetic as I am told my grandfather had a healing gift that involved laying hands on, but after working around doctors at Stanford University Hospital in my early 20s I knew I wanted to be in the healing field and found myself following my curiosity wherever it led me. Many of my clients report energetic changes as well as physical changes during and after their sessions. Some find recovery or management after long term suffering with chronic issues, like migraines, frozen shoulder, joint pain and more. I don’t purport myself to be a miracle worker, but rather a balance of intuitiveness combined with knowledge in my field. 

I am also trained in the art of hypnosis and the various applications; clinical, weight loss, habit cessation and healthy habit formation, phobias, street hypnosis, and even a few stage performances.
