Handwork Therapeutic Massage
I specialize in working with older adults who often experience chronic painful conditions, although I also see people who need to relieve less dramatic stresses and strains. I work in a quiet, private office by appointment only and tailor each session to your health history and current needs. I have 14 years of experience working with clients because of injuries, surgeries, chemotherapy, recovery from addiction, pregnancy, osteoarthritis, and other conditions.
Education/Training
Mt. Nittany School of Massage, State College, PA, 675 hours.
International Alliance of Healthcare Educators, continuing education in Lymph Drainage Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, and SomatoEmotional Release, 192 hours.
AB, MAT, PhD, The University of Chicago
Bio
An older adult myself, I became a massage therapist after a long career as a professor of religious studies and psychology which included teaching about different approaches to healing. I have been told that my hands are "magical," but they are also well informed.
