I am a Holistic Manual Therapist. I specialize in the proper assessment and hands-on treatment of unique pain cases in which no other partitioner or modality has been able to provide permanent relief.In addition to being a Licensed Massage Therapist, I am a certified Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, a Shiatsu-Anma Specialist, and an Emergency Medical Technician. I teach CPR/First Aid, am a SafeSport certified member of USAG, and provide first aid services for local gymnastics competitions.My sessions begin with a very thorough assessment, taking into consideration the three main components of disease and dysfunction... biomechanics, biochemistry, and psyche. I then orchestrate the most efficient and effective treatment approach that will address your, or your child's, specific needs.For chronic pain sufferers, I take the time necessary to physically seek out the direct cause(s) of the pain. Most of the time, chronic pain is due to certain restrictions in the tissue... mainly fibrosis, scar tissue, and adhesions. None of which will go away on their own, and must be remediated by a skilled & qualified practitioner. For patients who are simply seeking overall wellness, I work to first balance your nervous system and get you properly reconnected to your body. I then use various techniques to "open the body's meridians", establishing optimal circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout.Since 2002, I have been trained in and utilize the following modalities during my treatment sessions... Osteopathic/Cranial Mobilization, Muscle Energy Technique/Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, Cranial-Sacral Therapy/Unwinding, Myofascial Release techniques, Active/Passive/Positional Release techniques, Visceral Manipulation, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Sports Massage Therapy, Shiatsu-Anma, Jin Shin Acupressure, Cupping therapy, Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, and BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique. Furthermore, I have devoted my life work to practicing & teaching the concepts of the famous Dr. Vincent Medici, specializing in the art of "opening meridians" using certain techniques & approaches that pierce the edge of the comfort zone… rejuvenating the immune system, revitalizing the body, and renewing the spirit.I am not a medical doctor, and do not diagnose, nor practice medicine. My review of your health condition and medical records is for my own assessment purposes and treatment plan, but is not interpreted for, nor discussed with, patients.NVMT.7902005641.062-101
