I have been working as a massage therapist since 1997 and studied at Suncoast II School of Massage in Tampa, Florida. There I learnt the massage basics of Swedish Massage (provides a foundation). Creative and Intuitive Massage, (Slow Deep, Relaxing Massage) Sports Massage and Myofascial Release (Connective Tissue Massage).

As a student there I completed the CORE Myofascial Certification program where I met William E. Bonney, Ph.D., L.M.T. and George P. Kousaleos, B.A., L.M.T., N.C.T.M.B., I decided then, that I needed to learn more about this fascinating form of bodywork.

I went on my way with these new found skills to save the world! I had a lot of contacts in the running community in the Pinellas county and these were some of my earliest "victims". I also gathered a following of people from all walks of life who enjoyed my "deep" style of massage and my Australian attitude.

It was early on when I found that the myofascial style worked really well at getting great results, but still there was something missing. I then decided I needed more tools to get at those stubborn problems that didn't clear completely. That is when I enrolled in CORE Structural Integrative Therapy. That opened a whole new world for me. Here were the tools to take this work to the next level. Here I read books by Dr. Ida Rolf & Dean Juhan and gained a deeper knowledge of the body and movement.

Since then I have always kept my eyes and ears opened for any more information to build on the little I have learnt. I came across Tom Myers and the Anatomy Trains concept. Here Tom's concepts of fascia and the way they connect thru the body give a great concept of how movement happens. His theories of movement patterns and the fact that muscles actually work in groups to perform certain functions, enables the therapist to have a different outlook and perception of movement.

I now use those skills I have learnt, and added some of my own that enhance the therapy session.

The results are very satisfying and some clients have found relief from long term pain.
