Tell us about the work you currently do. Sports, recovery, and rehabilitation bodywork. Most of my bodywork is based on resolution of myofascial trigger points through neuromuscular techniques and stretching.
I also teach every client how to continue to resolve their tension issues by instructing them to practice self-maintenance through exercise and stretching in appropriate patterns, and guiding them through open-ended questions to discover what movements or postures are creating their tension pattern. Describe your journey to becoming a bodyworker.
When did it begin, and why did you choose bodywork? My father and I both have minor scoliosis. Later I worked in a teppanyaki style restaurant where one of the waitresses and I would exchange seated massages with each other after work. With this experience I joined massage exchanges over the years and learned a few other techniques.
After some years in the film industry, often doing a bit of massage on friends on set here and there, many of my work friends advised me to go to massage school and get out of the film industry.
I had been experiencing a hefty portion of burnout in the film industry, but I took my time exploring the various local massage schools. I loved the concepts they espoused but needed to do my homework first. I fell in love in my very first class but was inspired even more when I took Sports Massage. Why and when did you choose to attend IPSB? I started Foundations in April of While taking classes at IPSB I spent a good deal of time as a teaching assistant because it gave me a chance to explore the material on a deeper level.
