Although I have only practicing massage for less than two years, I have discovered that through my twenty years of practice in meditation and qi gong, I have a natural sense of connected touch. As a student at Bastyr University, I have learned many therapeutic approaches in a short period of time. I have trained in Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Tuina, Thai Massage, Energy Healing and Orthopedic techniques. For theurapeutic massage, I practice the diagnostic or listening of Visceral Manipulation to perceive tension held deep within the body then release the tension through deep tissue or neuromuscular therapy. I also enjoy practicing swedish massage and deep tissue. I found these techniques to be extraordinary for systemically moving blood and qi and providing deep relaxation for my client.
