I started my career in Health Care in 1989 as a Physical Therapist Assistant. In 1992 I began to study Massage Therapy & Craniosacral Therapy. In 1995 I became licensed as a Massage Therapist & in 2000 I Certified as a Techniques Level Craniosacral Therapist with the Upledger Institute. I began teaching Craniosacral Therapy in 2000, teaching throughout North America, Costa Rica, & the Caribbean. I have trained with the Upledger Institute through their Advanced II level & have table assisted more than 45 classes at all levels up to & through Advanced II.

I have also received Craniosacral training from Joseph Rodin, Dr. Michael Lipelt, Dr. Alain Gehin, & am familiar with the Milne approach. I became certified as a Medical Massage Therapist in 2009, began teaching Medical Massage in 2010 & received my Advanced Medical Massage Certification in 2011. I have been teaching Craniosacral Therapy, Orthopedic Massage techniques, Insurance Billing, Postural Analysis, Arthrossage, Therapeutic Cupping, & Manual Lymphatic Drainage since 2009 (400+ classes) throughout the United States, as well as in Costa Rica.

I am credentialed to provide CEUs through the NCBTMB (Category A), as well as the States of Florida & Georgia. My private practice, Warm Hands Therapeutics (www.warmhandsonline.com), was established in 1995, & is currently located in Bisbee, AZ.

A strong interest in the energetic basis of all manual therapies informs my work. My passion for returning people to their optimal level of health motivated me to begin sharing the knowledge I have acquired from my own education, both in the classroom & at the table. Teaching others the skills I have found so effective in my own practice allows my Passion to blossom, greatly magnifying the positive effect I can have in the world by increasing the number of skilled hands, heads, & hearts guiding others on their Healing Journeys.
