Self Description: I have a Holistic Health Degree from New College of Ca. and I have spent over twenty years in the Bay area as a Massage Therapist, Hypnotherapist and Reiki Master Teacher. I am devoted to the promotion of the Holistic (Integrative) medical model). I have spent many years working in Chiropractic clinics, which has given me a unique understanding of the intricate relationship between the skeletal, muscular and the connective tissue systems. I have also worked in Acupuncture clinics where I gained insight into the Asian Medical model, working with vital energy (ki, or chi) and the use of shiatsu (acupressure). This background helps me to personalize your session to meet your specific needs. In addition to the aforementioned skills, I also have many pain-specific bodywork styles drawn from extensive clinical experience such as working with sciatica, whiplash and chronic jaw grinding or clenching, known as TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction). I also use body-mind integration styles derived from mixing guided visualization and positive suggestion techniques used in hypnotherapy with bodywork to reduce chronic stress, help in the preparation or the recovery from surgery and/or, to move though physical and emotional traumas. I believe in the innate wisdom of the body, mind and spirit. I will blend my trained intuition with my other skills to give you a unique massage experience that not only promotes relief and relaxation, but also a deep sense of well being.
