Welcome
I have 20+ years of experience in Asian Bodywork Therapy. ABT as I practice it is the combination of massage/bodywork from the Ancient Chinese Medicine form of Tuina.
My training is to look at each individual, where they are at today, how they got here, and where they wish to be tomorrow. Then craft a plan to help them achieve their goals. Achieving your optimum state of mind, spirit and body will be what helps you along your path to accomplish what it is you are meant to do in this lifetime.
Chinese Medicine is the medicine of a general practitioner. We are trained to treat from pre-conception to post-mortem and everything in-between. Physically I specialize in chronic pain management and tendon problems. In CM you are a client, not a patient, which means you must participate in your own healing. I do not use needles, I rarely use herbs; I use qi, words, and hands to guide each person toward their destiny.
As an Asian Bodywork Therapist I have had training in the following modalities: Tui Na, Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxibustion, Auricular, Qigong, Reiki (master level), Jin Shin,and Shiatsu. As a compliment to ABT I have also studied Bowen Therapies and use this technique a lot within my practice.
Within the last 20 years I have been involved in every aspect of the profession from legislative work on the initial NC state massage and bodywork licensing board to years of volunteering for the national membership organization the AOBTA of which I am now a past president. Now a days, I wish to continue to help the people I work with, one on one, and perhaps teach a few classes here and there.
Thank you for looking at my website. Please email or call to make an appointment.
