I have been a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) since 1977. From 1980 until 2001 my work was mostly shiatsu and included manipulation of the subtle energy field. I taught in a variety of venues in those years. In 2001 I went on to develop a specialty in oncology massage which required me to return to my original Western massage training but allowed me to include some of my Eastern background as well. I worked for Memorial Sloan Kettering from 2001 until 2018 when I officially retired from the hospital practice. I consider healing a lifetime study and although I have completed my 3-year medical qi gong training, I will continue to study Chinese medicine and other traditional approaches to healing. In 2015, 2016 and 2018 I completed Qi Gong Healer training with Robert Peng and In August 2017 I completed teacher training in RP Qi Gong (Elixir Light Qi Gong).I am currently teaching Komyo Reiki for The Swedish Institute.Specialties: Reiki, Reiki instructor, Swedish massage, Reflexology, Shiatsu (including instruction), Oncology massage, Medical Qi Gong, Instructor Elixir Light Qi Gong
