Active Isolated Stretching with Ben Benjamin, and various Orthopedic Massage techniques with James Waslaski. The one training that has contributed most to my massage practice is Upledger CranioSacral Therapy. Learning to listen more closely to the body with my hands and allowing that body to guide my touch has brought about more profound corrections in the bodies I am in contact with than any other single course or program. As a result, I now have an orthodontist referring patients with TMJ dysfunction; a neurologist referring patients for headache pain; a pain-management specialist referring patients for adjunctive pain management therapy; and other health care professionals referring other patients for a variety of issues.

Ortho-Bionomy, Basic Spine taught by Dr. Alan Saxton over a weekend, has given me the confidence to offer this noninvasive, miraculously pain-relieving system of positional release in my practice, since spring 2009. Lomilomi, adapted to my current employer’s spa protocols, is saving my hands and pleasing my clients. I intend to take this further. I participated in a five day intensive seminar with Gloria Coppola in June, 2012.

Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy has made a huge difference in my practice. After eight years as a massage therapist, I needed something that could give me an edge and challenge me.
