“Though I primarily teach and practice Thai Yoga Bodywork, I love all forms of floor massage and have extensively studied other floor-based modalities such as Shiatsu and Breema which I integrate into my practice. I count the floor and gravity amongst my best friends. Thai Yoga Bodywork is not just a form of massage but a therapeutic art form; often referred to as the Dance of Thai Massage, due to its rhythmic & graceful movements. Part healing modality, part moving body poetry. The goal is to create relaxation while promoting Body-Mind-Soul integration so that an individual can function at a higher level. Most of my training took place in northern Thailand with numerous teachers from the Sunshine Network over a six-year period. Studying with multiple teachers has given me an appreciation for the diversity of this therapeutic healing modality and I try to bring that stylistic variety to my work. Currently, I practice privately in both Berkeley and Marin. In addition to my bodywork education, I have a Masters in Holistic Health Education and am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University where my intent is to revive the ancient Aesclepian dream healing practices of the Greco-Roman period that once helped thousands to get in touch with their Inner Healing Resources.”
