I grew up in Wallingford, CT and feel lucky to have gone to such a great series of schools including my high school,  Lyman Hall,  just by the providence of proximity. I also happened to live with a music store, called the Pickers’ Choice, right behind my backyard.  As such, I was a roadie since I was  11 years old, constantly surrounded by musicians and performers and amateur–but brilliant luthiers.  I also learned how to have compassion for people who had maybe put themselves through  a lot and maybe need a little extra compassion and special treatment for now.   I grew up taking extracurricular classes in Music and Acting & even a little Irish Step Dance and then later started learning Tai chi and Dragon Kung Fu in 2002. I also did a number of plays with Oddfellows’ Playhouse in Middletown, CT.  

I’ve now been studying internal martial arts such as Tai chi, Dragon Kung Fu, Ba Gua,  and Chinese Medicine Theory/ Zen Shiatsu for over 10 years as well. I’ve trained under Master Teachers such as Willem de Thours (Uncle Bill), Don Ethan Miller, Tj Frank, Janet Gee, Kurt Miyajima & Energy Arts, Marilynn Cooper and many others. 

While many of my high school classmates from went to Ivy League colleges, I was very happy to attend State University of NY,  Purchase College.  SUNY Purchase always has a very eccentric and varied student body eager to work hands-on in their chosen field. There’s conservatories in Art, Music, Acting, Film, Dance as well as a Brilliant Faculty in the Humanities and Sciences. I was able to take classes in Neuropsychology, Scanning & Transmission Electron Microscopy, Scuba, Circus Skills, Photography along with my other required courses. I was grateful to be able to study science surrounded by art  and able to continue acting in some productions there as well.  

I  received my B. A. in Psychology and Biology.  My Senior Project involved using Subliminal Image Stimuli to help individuals who were Arachnophobic to overcome their Fear of Spiders.  This was demonstrated by how close they were willing to come to a tank containing a LIVE Tarantula, named Fuzzy. We found that by stimulating people’s fear schema on an unconscious level, they actually were showing less fearful behavior.

This study planted a seed in me.  Perhaps it’s easier to help people work through their traumas through their bodies instead of their mind?  Perhaps modern medicine has forgotten about the psycho-spiritual aspects of health? I learned that our traumas are stored in our cells and tissues and by massage we can bring more circulation, oxygen and energy to them.   I had been told for years of my natural, intuitive talent for massage and realized that this was my route towards helping heal the world, my personal spiritual directive and mission in Life.

After college  I lived in Woodstock, NY and Attended the Omega Institute where I received my 2nd Reiki attunement.  I drove cross-country and lived in San Francisco for  a while. I lived , learned & worked at Seraphi, a Sound & Light Healing Center & Raw Food Cafe, formerly located in the SOMA district of San Francisco, now in Brooklyn, NY.  It was then that I also worked at the Academy of Art University as a figure model for the drawing and sculpture classes.

One of the best decisions of my life was attending the Maui School of Therapeutic Massage. I received over 700 hours of hands-on  instruction and coaching in massage and I further continued studies in Zen Shiatsu and Internal Martial Arts. I’m very grateful that I received such thorough training so that I can help most people feel better an more comfortable in their bodies, often in profound ways.

I am a Usui Reiki Master and I do many different integrated styles of massage including: Zen Shiatsu, Lomi Lomi, Hot Stone, Neuromuscular Technique (NMT), Orthopedic, Deep Tissue, Pregnancy, and Sports Massage. I also work with a Gua Sha (like a lymphatic/energetic squeegee) to relieve inflammation and stuck energy. In addition I make use of ZeroPoint Global technology such as healing lasers, oils and discs to speed healing through vibrational resonance therapy.

Healing has to be chosen by the individual. I facilitate healing with my clients’ help and Divine Healing energies that I channel in my work, which are blessings from my clients’ guides and Guardian Angels, as well as my own. 

In addition to the healing work I do, I’ve also helped teach Drama Classes & Circus skills for Children, Lomi Lomi Massage Workshops, Psychology Classes, Homeschool, and Makka-ho a Japanese Yoga Form which comes from Zen Shiatsu. I’ve also taught Life Skills to People with Special Needs like Autism for over 12 years.

I am focusing on a new project called “Bliss Ambassadors: Dragon Ascension Training Workshops.” We are a team of individuals dedicated to educating and empowering children and adults using songs in A432hz, with healthy messages, theatre and team-building exercises, integrated with Ascension practices drawing from Yogic and Taoist practices and Kinesiology/ muscle testing to teach people how to tune into their hearts and be able to receive clear guidance.

I also teach Advanced Injury Recovery Massage Workshops with my friend, Brian Whitehead, founder of Healingacademy.com. Brian has over 20 years experience and has worked on many professional baseball players. We teach how to treat and prevent rotator cuff injuries, reset the biceps tendon and release traumatized tendons in

I do out-calls to my clients’ homes and am available for entertainment events and parties.  When I was in Ecuador, I would cruise around on my bike which had a specially constructed connection to a hand cart so I could haul my massage table around town and down the hills from my clients’ homes.

 I now live in Nevada City, CA and have 2  beautiful sons named Arthur and Alexander with their amazing daddy.  I am available for out-call massage appointments within 40 mi of here or I can book a massage room as needed at Inner Path in Nevada City.
