Since initially receiving my NCTMB (National Certification for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork) in 1997, I have engaged in multiyear studies of   - Myofacial release and trigger point therapies, a spectrum of techniques which utilize different depths of contact (pressure) to release pain and muscular stress with combinations of warming, stretching, breathing, and positionality for the release of toxicity and trauma. - Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, a light/still touch technique that evokes a body's innate access to health and focuses on the rhythms of the cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord. - Temple style Lomi, a deeply nurturing and transformative practice which emphasizes long, encompassing movements for holistic body balancing. - Trauma informed yoga and breathwork, a spectrum of instructional practices that help inform a client's experience on the table. They help build toolkits for the ongoing and comprehensive release of stress and freedom of movement.    These practices extend the body knowledge I obtained as a young Cecchetti ballet dancer and youthful yoga (primarily hatha with pranayama) practitioner, the foundations of my movement-oriented, exploring techniques. My theatrical and production (with a Bachelor’s Degree) experience taught me how to create a safe space for the magic of transformation to happen, and a Masters of Public Education has informed my current Access offerings and efforts. At the massage table, my client is always the inspiration, designer, director, enactor, and enforcer of the recovery work that is available on any given day - always striving to mitigate pain and improve the overall quality of life.  Additional techniques which I have studied throughout my career and can offer in specific, include: carpal tunnel therapy, prenatal massage, postnatal massage, geriatric massage, reiki, acupressure, Swedish massage, movement education, repetitive stress injury prevention/education, and chair massage.
