She has received training in prenatal massage and is a Certified Infant Massage Instructor. Her experience not only working with pregnant women but being the mother of two little ones gives women the confidence during this amazing time in their lives that they and their babies are ‘in good hands’.
Her time spent working with several chiropractors gave her a better understanding of the intricate relationship between the muscles, bones and nervous system and their impact on all of the body systems. This interest led to her study of the Myokinesthetic Systems. She has learned this form of soft tissue work that directly impacts the nervous system from it’s developer Dr. Michael Uriarte.
