TRAINING

Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute

Massage Therapist - 1994

Swedish Massage. Introduction to Massage.  Swedish Massage is a light relaxing massage using gentle strokes for those who like a lighter touch.  Chair massage, anatomy & physiology.

 Deep Tissue and Polarity Therapy - 1994

Deep Tissue Massage is the ability to understand the layers of the body, and the ability to work with tissue in these layers to relax, lengthen, and release holding patterns in the most effective and energy efficient way possible.  In deep tissue massage there is less emphasis on pleasure as the primary goal and more emphasis on altering structure and muscle restrictions using slow methodical, intentional strokes softening each layer of tight muscle, melting away the layers like butter.

 British Rainbow Reiki 1 - 1999

Reiki is used for stress reduction and relaxation, and promotes healing.  Reiki is a healing energy drawing from the chakras, aura and meridian system. A Reiki practitioner may place their hands on an area, you will feel the warmth and energy, relax and allow the energy to flow.

Myofacial Release - 2001

Fascia is the soft tissue of connective tissue, it provides support and protection for the muscles in our bodies.  It can become restricted from overuse, trauma or inactivity, resulting in pain, muscle tension and restricted blood flow.  Direct myofascial release can also be referred to as deep tissue work, it engages in the restrictive barrier until release occurs.  Elbows, knuckles & stretching may be used to elongate the fascia moving slowly through layers until the deep tissues are reached.

NEURO-STRUCTURAL

BODYWORK^TM

Imbalances in muscle tissue and it’s function can result from biomechanical misalignment, misuse or overuse of muscles, injury or disease. Over time, these imbalances become habitual and the tissues “set themselves  at plus or minus optimal length and micro adhesions form in the connective tissue to protect the affected area resulting in stiffness, tension and pain. 

Myofascial restrictions ultimately exacerbate the imbalance so that even if neurological messages are corrected, the adhesions or “glue” that has built up can prevent new impulses from taking root.

BENEFITS of

NEURO-STRUCTURAL BODYWORK^TM

Releases the restricted tissues of the body and “reprograms” the software of the musculoskeletal system in support of optimal biomechanical alignment, neurological innervation and circulation.

• Is effective in treating both acute injuries and chronic conditions, including strained muscles, upper/lower back and disc problems, frozen shoulder, joint injuries, fibromyalgia, migraines, arthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome.
• Dramatically increases range of motion; sensory perception and motor control, enhancing performance for athletes, dancers, yogis and anyone interested in using their body more effectively.
