I've trained and practiced Clinical Massage & Therapeutic Bodywork (emphasis in Structural Balancing) for treating pain, posture, and movement issues. I work with clients to unbind and unlock dysfunctional myofascial patterns with Structural Bodywork. Often these problems are due to chronic excess muscle and nerve tension, or injury, that result in structural imbalances. Next, I have for three years been practicing and administering Medical Qigong Therapy (along with giving clients specific exercises) for the vital organ systems to help purge excesses, tonify deficiencies, and regulate organ energetics.
