As a health care professional in Seattle for over 16 years, I specialize in blending the practice of gentle Acupuncture with Therapeutic Thai Massage to treat a wide variety of conditions.
I began studying with master teachers in Thailand over 14 years ago and am the only Registered Traditional Thai Yoga Massage instructor in Washington state. I have been to Thailand seven times and have earned certificates from several Thai institutions.
I am also a nationally certified massage therapist, acupuncturist and certified viniyoga instructor. I graduated from the Brian Utting School of Massage in 1994 in Seattle and received a Master of Acupuncture degree from the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2002. As a student, I interned at Harborview Medical Center's HIV/AIDS and Chronic Fatigue clinics.
Prior to studying healing arts, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and a Master's degree in Environmental Science. Through teaching and taking continuing education courses, I am able to stay current in my field, refine my skills, and expand my knowledge. I have taught continuing education workshops in Seattle for over 14 years and am an approved provider with National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, Thai Healing Alliance International, and Yoga Alliance International.
