My interest in the healing arts started when I began receiving Therapeutic Massage for migraine headaches. When my therapist announced that he was planning to teach, a light bulb went off above my head, and well, there was no turning back. This therapist, Ben Benjamin, went on to found the Muscular Therapy Institute, one of the most respected massage schools in the country. For me, the learning has never stopped (see below). The ways the multidimensionality of the human being expresses through the physical form is endlessly fascinating to me. I am so amazed by the mystery and majesty of the human body, I continue to be interested in learning ways to help us inhabit them more comfortably.
