HistoryI am a 1998 graduate of the renowned Utah College of Massage Therapy in Salt Lake City. After setting up a private practice following my graduation, I returned to the classroom to study the 10 Session System of Structural Integration, (aka Rolfing) designed by Dr. Ida Rolf. I stayed on at UCMT for another year as a teaching assistant of Deep Tissue Bodywork and Structural Integration, learning the nuances and intricacies of the human structure and how it relates to gravity and continues to function based on individual activity levels and habits. After 13 years of practicing physical bodywork I finally gave in to my curiosity and returned to school to learn acupuncture and Oriental medicine and received my Master's of Science from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in 2014.SpecialtiesMy physical bodywork sessions are rooted in Structural Integration and Myofascial Release with an emphasis on relieving chronic pain and discomfort, improving flexibility and restoring balance. Using a variety of modalities and techniques a space of healing and relaxation is created, allowing the client to release stress and other patterns that hinder the body's ability to heal itself.
