“Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” -J.M. Barrie

I have these two focus areas:
1. Working with active adults who are experiencing chronic pain, especially back, legs, and feet (lower body) pain, along with chronic pain in the upper body (head, jaws, neck, and shoulders), using cranial/structural and soft tissue protocols.
2. Working with people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, brain fog, and similar brain and mind distresses, using cranial/structural protocols and holistic health-life and nutrition coaching.

I offer advanced, medicinal, myofascial, energetic and massage-bodywork Rehabilitation Services and Therapies with the intention of relieving chronic pain and improving body posture/alignment and full body movement.  Myofascial massage is the manipulation of body muscles and tissues to alleviate pain, discomfort, and stress.  Myofascial massage is therapeutic massage with the focus of touching to heal specific ailments/injuries/specific areas of the body and preventing re-occurrence in the future. The energetic therapies allow for the use of instruments (Avazzia) and sending energy through my hands.

Depending on the type of session, sessions are either 1 hour, 1.5 hours, or 2 hours (time includes intake, dressing, and payment) depending on the needs of the client and intention of the session.

I design sessions with the best treatment to fit the client’s requests.  I take great care and special attention to clients’ needs to see that they are cared for, safe, and comfortable.

I have expertise in the following modalities-therapies:

Structural Energetic Therapy® is developed by Don McCann and is the only therapy that releases the spiral twist in the body (called “core distortion”) back into weight-bearing support relieving the stresses on joints, spine, and discs that lead to pain and dysfunction.  Clients receive specialized cranial/structural and myofascial (muscles and connective tissue) protocols to release myofascial holding patterns that maintain the distortions.  Typically sessions are up to 2 hours in duration.  Clients receive treatments in their undergarments.  I use draping as necessary.  On Don’s website, he explains what SET is. 

Rossiter Stretching is developed by Richard Rossiter.  These techniques use deep pressure (my body weight) on contracted muscles, while the client performs small and sometimes big muscle movements in unique “locked” positions to optimally STRETCH the connective tissue/fascia.  Sessions are very intense and are focused on specific areas of pain in the body.  These sessions are sometimes called Rossiter Workouts.  Many times these techniques are used in my other treatment sessions.  Clients remain clothed and generally are on a floor mat.  Typically sessions are up to 1 – 1.5 hours in duration.  When clients are familiar with and understand how to do these techniques properly (form definitely counts!), we can do these sessions in less time with the same benefits.

Access Consciousness® was founded by Gary Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer.  Access Consciousness® is the home of Access Bars® and emphasizes pragmatic tools (body process and living in question) to change things in your life that you haven’t been able to change, until now. Its primary tool is the Access Bars®, a (non-invasive) set of 32 points on your head that, when lightly touched, stimulate positive change in the brain and defragment the electromagnetic components of stress, thoughts, and emotions. Ultimately, Access Bars is all about clearing mental clutter and releasing limiting beliefs. Imagine the freedom of feeling lighter, more focused, and open to new possibilities!  Typically sessions are 1 hour in duration.

I use Avazzia’s Pro-Sport 3 device. It offers the best of Avazzia’s Bio-Electric Stimulation Technology (BEST®) with Reaction Technology™. This device helps with symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain, and adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic pain. Typically sessions are 1 – 1.5 hours in duration or I will blend using Avazzia in other sessions.  Also, I specifically use Avazzia for Scar Tissue Massage sessions. Typically sessions are 1 hour in duration. 

I do Traditional Thailand (Thai) Massage (for both body and feet) on a client-by-client basis.  Traditional Thai massage combines point pressure work with a variety of stretching movements applied slowly in gentle rocking patterns and rhythmic compressions.  This experience is like having yoga done to you!  Clients remain clothed on a floor mat, occasionally I do some Thai massage techniques on the massage table.  Typically sessions are up to 1.5 – 2 hours in duration.

With the exception of the Traditional Thai Massage and the Rossiter System “Workouts” (both modalities are mostly on the floor mat/pad and fully clothed), massage-bodywork will be done mostly on a massage table, chair, or bench.  If sessions required the client to be unclothed, proper draping techniques will be used while clients undress to their level of comfort.  Only the area to be addressed is exposed. Genitals are covered at all times.

As a Certified Personal Trainer, I offer (non-evasive) sessions to help clients improve their overall physical health and well-being with a rehabilitation plan that includes Correctional and Performance-Enhancing exercise programs.  Exercises are recommended after your body is out of pain, and you feel you can carry on with a normal day of daily activities.  Typically sessions are 1 hour in duration.  Also, I am a Certified Nutrition Coach, and these services can help with your overall health and wellness; session durations vary.

As a Holistic Health-Life Coach, I offer the below hands-on therapies at my health studio to facilitate change, and coaching calls via Zoom.  Sessions are either 1 hour, 1.5 hours, or 2 hours.

The Structural Energetic Therapy® Cranial Structural Core Distortion Release or other cranial protocols to release the core distortion that we are born with, clean brain fog, detoxify the brain, alleviate PTSD, dementia, ADHD, and other brain conditions.

The Access Bars® are 32 points on your head that, when gently touched, stimulate positive change in the brain and defragment the electromagnetic components of stress, thoughts, and emotions, allowing you to feel joy and ease in your life. Ultimately, Access Bars is all about clearing mental clutter and releasing limiting beliefs. Imagine the freedom of feeling lighter, more focused, and open to new possibilities!
