Compassionate Touch Practitioner providing hands-on care for those in later life stages.

Taylor Techniques Myofascial Release
Taylor Techniques Master Certification
I am one of a select group of massage therapists to study the Taylor Technique, a myofascial release technique developed and taught by Carrie Taylor, RMT. The Taylor Technique is a unique approach utilizing an understanding of the characteristics of the connective tissue and recognizing that dysfunction often does not originate where it is experienced as pain and limited range of motion. The Taylor technique uses the fascial trains to identify the source of dysfunction and misalignment in the body and alleviate pain and dysfunction by working on the source rather than chasing symptoms around the body. This technique is effective for a wide range of medical problems including: migraines and tension headaches; chronic neck and back pain; fibromyalgia and temporomandibular joint syndrome. I completed my Advanced Osteopathic & Myofascial Techniques Level II training in March 2017.
I also completed the final five Master Classes led by Carrie Taylor in Atlanta, Georgia in September 2018, demonstrating mastery in cutting edge clinical techniques, palpation and assessment. Carrie Taylor’s method not only offers a safe and natural alternative to pharmaceutical pain relief, but also has proven effective in reducing pain, improving function and correcting dysfunction caused by injury, accident, and repetitive motion.
Whole Food Plant Based Nutrition
I used the Covid-19 slow down as an opportunity to receive my certification in Whole Food Plant Based Nutrition online from Cornell University. In this class I learned the many benefits of a Whole Food Plant Based nutrition and why it is optimal for health—including the prevention and reversal of diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
I am fully vaccinated, and urge anyone whose medical condition permits them to be safely vaccinated, to do so.
