"If you can imagine how it feels to have a fluid, light, balanced body, free of pain, stiffness,
chronic stress, at ease with itself and the earth's gravitational field, then you will understand the goals of Rolfing Structural Integration."
- Dr. Ida Pauline Rolf PhD

In addition to providing postural, sub-acute and chronic care, I also work with clients who recognize the importance of a high quality maintenance program. My goal is to establish long term professional relationships with clients and their family members to help enhance their quality of life with therapeutic bodywork.

Workshops Attended

KINESIS MYOFASCIAL INTEGRATION  [ KMI ] (6/2004 - 5/2005) Completed 500 hours of advanced training under the direct tutelage of founder Tom Myers and, I am certified to practice Structural Integration.    top

MYOKINESTHETIC SYSTEM (2003) The spinal nerves represent continuity between the brain and all the body tissues. The spinal nerves are transmitted through mobile openings of intervertebral Foramen and encroachment is therefore possible. This approach re-educates the muscles on a neurological level to accelerate the healing process. It is a specific treatment for a specific problem, which can be applied fully dressed and within 15 to 20 minutes.   top

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE (2001) I have taken the Myofascial Release One and the Myofascial Mobilization workshops. John Barnes, PT imparts his knowledge and 40 years of experience in cutting edge bodywork to the manual therapist. I closely integrate this style of bodywork into my everyday practice. The experience is dramatic, and the healing is lasting.   top

BRUCE HOCKING D.AC., (2000) an acupuncturist from Canada gave his seminar in three 16 hour workshops. His teachings gave me more of a practical knowledge in the field of pain control and relief using a low power e-stim probe in concert with my manual therapy.   top

SHIRLEY SPEAR BEGLEY (2000) has practiced TT for over 18 years, and has been closely mentored by Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., RN the co-creator of Therapeutic Touch and other well-known leaders in mind/body awareness and the healing arts. I was fortunate enough to attend one of her introductory weekend workshops and a follow-up practicum. The power of subtle energies is very real and is a very helpful tool when married with manual therapy especially the myofascial release bodywork.   top

JAMES WASLASKI (1999) His style and knowledge center around sports and sports injury rehabilitation. Although I have not gone through is full program, I have excelled in the type of bodywork for which he is so famous. In fact, my encounter with him was so monumental that it changed my outlook on the future of my developing practice.
