I am a native of New Mexico, and moved to Washington, D.C. in 1980. Since 1997, I’ve had a private practice in massage therapy, to which I’ve added the Trager® Approach and energy medicine. My background includes degrees in music, and in social work, and a seventeen-year career in computer programming. I gratefully acknowledge the varied skills and perspectives from those fields.
My philosophy of practice springs from belief in the integrated whole of human beings. Thus, I bring to my work not only my explicit training, but all of my background, my love of anatomy and movement, and even my role as a parent. My work addresses my client's spirit, emotions, mind, and body, as I seek to help each one move toward greater vitality, balance, and joy.
My education and professional affiliations include:
- Licensed to practice in the District of Columbia (D.C. License MT67) and in Maryland
- Professional Member of the United States Trager Association
- Professional Member of the American Massage Therapy Association
- Studied under Energy Healer Sue Greer
- Reiki Master
- Certified in Prenatal Massage by Kate Jordan
- Graduate of Potomac Massage Training Institute
- Masters degree in Social Work
- Bachelor of Arts degree in Music
