How I came into doing bodywork is a bit ironic. At age 14 I had a severe spinal injury in a sport event in high school. After 5 years of different treatments with no results and excruciating pain i received bodywork from someone who really listened to what my body needed. Focus was put on what was going on and how to attend to it. as a result the pain began to subside and my body began to heal.
As of that moment I decided to learn more on how to also help others who were suffering from pain. A whole new world opened up for me. Since then, I have been inspired to go out and help other in the same way. I began by doing an apprenticeship for 2 years with the therapist that helped in the healing of my neck injury. There after i attended accredited massage schools to further my knowledge and become a licensed therapist.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Understanding Your Needs ” tab_id=”1445108608705-4-8″][vc_column_text]

Its really a dance of many things one is Looking With In and Think Out Side The Box beyond Be creative in the art of healing and own your skills at the same time. It’s more than just techniques and modalities as important as they are and useful. It is just if not more important to truly listen to whoever you are working on and to their bodies. The information they will provide you is invaluable. And think outside the box.
