Continuing Education
I have taken, and still do attend, an array of health, coaching, body, mind, and spirit courses in order to maintain my certifications, licenses, and specializations. Also, I enjoy taking these courses along with reading books and periodicals, listening to podcasts, etc., so I keep my skills current and precise. I can’t do it all, so having knowledge of what is “out there” in the holistic health industry helps me with referring clients to other modalities and practitioners who can help them and their specific needs.
My studies include anatomy, physiology and pathologies, circulatory massage, deep tissue sculpting, passive joint movement techniques, somatic psychology, yoga, hydrotherapy and spa applications, BLISSwork, meditation, Feldendrais, Chi Nei Tsang (internal vital organ chi massage), microcurrent technologies, and a variety of other massage therapy, exercise, diet/nutrition, mind-body-spirit, and holistic health technology courses.
I do incorporate breathwork (included as a part of Structural Energetic Therapy sessions if interested), cupping (used in scar tissue sessions), and the Avazzia Pro-Sport 3 device (used in scar tissue and high pain sessions, also replaced the Dolphin Neurostim/Microcurrent Point Stimulation device I was using).
Graduate of the Gokhale Method® Foundation course.
Certificate of Completion from the Optimum Health Institute’s 3-week study course and Gerson Institute’s Basics Workshop.
