I completed the 1,000 hour Professional Therapeutic & Sports Massage program at the Western Institute of Neuromuscular Therapy in 2011 and have been a practicing massage therapist since then. In 2013 I completed an additional, 450 hour Advanced Neuromuscular Massage Therapist program at the National Holistic Institute, and over the years I received an additional roughly 400 hours of training in structural integration and orthopedic massage from Ken Smith of the International Association of Structural Integrators at the Healing Hands School of Holistic Health, and from James Waslaski of the Center for Pain Management. I also received training and certification to administer Pre-natal massage therapy from Carol Osborne, and additional training from other instructors.
What started me on this path? An automobile accident in high school combined with lots 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 the way skilled massage therapists helped me recover and decided to become one too. 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 often takes place in the "hurts, but in a good way" range, interspersed with "just feels great" level massage.
