I am a California State Certified Massage Therapist. I am a graduate of the National Holisitic Institues 900 hour Core Program. I am trained in modalites ranging from an Eastern and Western approach. I am a current student in the National Holistic Institues Advanced Neuromuscular Program which is an additional 450 hours of extensive training focusing on Trigger Point Therapy.
While studying I obtained an externship at the UCLA Pediatric Hospital through the Heart Touch Program. This experience was vary eye opening to me to see how massage greatly benefits the medical community. Throughout the externship program I compled 30+ hours doing chair massage for the nurses. I also obtained my senior externship, 40 hours, at Holistic Tattoo. There I worked on the body moficiation artists to relieve the tension they gain in their body while making art. This was very focused work on the Pecs, arms, hands/wrists, and low back. Working and going to school in a holsitic envoirnment has helped me to live in a lifestyle very similar, and from that I emphazise the importance of being whole in my work.
