About Me
I am a retired Naval Officer with over 20 years experience in Information Technology.
While in the military, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration (University of Florida),
a Master of Science degree in Systems Management (Florida Institute of Technology), and another Master of Science degree in
Information Technology Management (Naval Postgraduate School). Now I am a certified and licensed Holistic
Health Practitioner specializing in advanced therapeutic and medicinal massage and bodywork. My primary specialties
are the Structural Integration 10-Series (also known as Rolfing), the Rossiter System “Workouts” (certified by Richard Rossiter as a Certified Rossiter Coach), Traditional Thailand (Thai) massage,
Neuromuscular Therapy (also known as Trigger Point Therapy), and Reiki with a blend of Circulatory Massage, Deep
Tissue Sculpting, and Passive Joint Movement techniques. I received my holistic health education from the
International Professional School of Bodywork College in San Diego, CA, which includes an Associates of Science degree in Holistic Health. Also,
I have a Certificate of Completion from the Optimum Health Institute's 3-week Study Course.
I
have taken an array of courses in massage-bodywork therapy since 2005. My studies also include anatomy, physiology
and pathologies, somatic psychology, yoga, hydrotherapy and spa applications, BLISSwork, meditation, Feldenkrais,
Chi Nei Tsang (internal vital organ chi massage), and more! Some of my experiences include working at the International
Professional School of Bodywork College's Massage Therapy Center and volunteering at Marine Corp's Recruit Depot running events
and also at the Veterans Village of San Diego.
It
is very rewarding for me to work with people who have (had) chronic pain! It is such a joy to see them have
such freedom in their bodies when the pain is gone after working with me!
I
am available to partner with business organizations and other health professionals to help individuals create wellness/health programs
that increase productive, health, wealth, and success of individuals and businesses.
I am
available to speak about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle without the need for surgeries and drugs.
Also, visit San Diego's Speakers Guild website for more of my topics.
