An automobile accident in high school combined with a lot of contact sports left me with years of chronic pain. I found that highly trained massage therapists were a huge help. Chiropractic, physical therapy and better nutrition also helped. I became interested in how massage therapy helped me and decided to become one. I'm glad I did.
I obtained certification from the California Massage Therapy Council in 2011 and remain a member in good standing.
I'm well-trained in relaxation-style massage modalities (Swedish), and highly trained in more therapeutic, rehabilitation-style techniques, including sports massage, deep tissue, structural integration, neuromuscular, myofascial release, and trigger point. I'm also certified in pre-natal, pregnancy massage.
Often the word "therapeutic" is associated with pain when it comes to massage therapy, but I find that the most effective work takes place in the "hurts, but in a good way" range, interspersed with "just feels great" level massage.
I graduated from the 1,000 hour program at the Western Institute of Neuromuscular Therapy in 2011 and completed additional training in 2013, with certification in the 450 hour Advanced Neuromuscular Massage Therapists program at the National Holistic Institute. More training was acquired in structural integration with James Waslaski of orthomassage dot net, as well as at the Healing Hands School of Holistic Health with Ken Smith of the International Association of Structural Integrators. Prenatal massage certification was obtained through Carole Osborne of Body Therapy Education. Continuing education remains ongoing and the remaining classes will not be listed here, but I'll be posting images of the main certs to the gallery on my Google page soon.
