I've been a licensed massage therapist in Portland Oregon since 2003. During that time I've worked in a variety of facilities including spas, chiropractic offices, integrated wellness centers, and hospital campuses. Working in this field has given me the opportunity to work with a wide variety of people with a wide variety of cultures, histories and backgrounds. I developed effective communication skills, client retention and marketing strategies, and learned how to work in concert with other health care providers to deliver integrated healthcare to our patients. I'm also in network with a number of health insurance companies and do my own medical billing. This is giving me a working knowledge of medical billing, medical terminology, online billing and provider portals, credentialing and more.
