Background
I received my BA from Middlebury College in Vermont in 2002. I am also a licensed, practicing massage therapist (MA42442) since graduating from the Florida School of Massage in 2004. I have over 1000 hours of training including 200 hrs Advanced Sports Massage and Thai Yoga Massage certifications.
Personally, I have experience healing from an autoimmune disorder (specifically Lyme Disease, but my knowledge is useful with all kinds, ie fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, etc).
I received my training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which
is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary
theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with
modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the
Zone and raw foods.
I have lived in Gainesville, Florida, for over 6 years and work nationally with phone clients and occasional lectures.
Update Fall 2009
Working alongside my husband, Roger,
during the three years he had cancer, taught me a tremendous amount
about supplements and diet. With this experience, plus my above background, I offer health counseling to support clients and
pass on useful information. Navigating a major illness is a huge task
and having a support person can be invaluable. I take my role as
support person very seriously and would want to work as a team with all
your health care professionals.
Above and beyond the practicalities of
diet and treatment, Roger and I underwent a powerful, life-changing
transformation as we contemplated, and he approached, death. Life grew
silent and through the silence, priorities and the real meaning of life
seeped through.
My adult life has been an investigation into what I need in order to heal and what I can offer others to be most
helpful. I offer massage and health counseling to help clients relax,
heal, and feel supported, but nothing has been as important to me as bringing consciousness into wholeness using the SelfQuesting ApproachTM.
Dr. Greg Hitter (www.selfquesting.com) has been an incredible teacher and mentor. His website best articulates information on SelfQuesting.
