I understand that the massage and bodywork field is constantly evolving, so I feel it is important to stay up to date with the latest techniques.  My primary practice is in myofascial release, so I continually attend seminars to keep my skill set high.  I use the "John Barnes myofascial release approach" and have had the opportunity to take classes directly from John Barnes.  John Barnes developed myofascial release over 40 years ago and has continued to fine tune and grow the technique.  His healing centers are considered the best in the world.  (www.myofascialrelease.com)

My therapeutic philosophy is that the body has an amazing ability to heal itself.  Your body is your biography and only you know what your life has brought you.  By reconnecting into your tissue memory and holding patterns, you open the door for change and health.
