Evolving the Consciousness of Care with Informed Presence
In my career as a bodywork therapist, I’ve witnessed the evolving healthcare and selfcare landscape shift, demanding a more comprehensive approach to well-being than ever before. We are moving beyond a singular focus on the physical and recognizing the profound importance of the mind, body, and spirit connection.
This holistic vision is the driving force and motivation behind developing new CEUs and a 700-hour massage therapy curriculum, a legacy project I poured my heart into. One of my goals is to bridge the gap between clinical science and the power of ancient healing wisdom.
The core philosophy in my teaching is "Informed Presence," combining advanced clinical mastery with deep mindfulness. To achieve this, I have integrated modern evidence-based techniques with connection, breath, cardiac coregulation and subtle arts such as vibrational healing and resonance—modalities that have been used for centuries across cultures to promote balance and deep relaxation.
The 700 hr curriculum prepares graduates to go beyond just treating symptoms; it trains them to address the whole person using both established research and time-honored practices. I'm incredibly humbled by the opportunity to bring this innovative program to life and help shape the next generation of practitioners who are ready for a truly integrated future. The specialized continuing education courses (CEUs) for licensed therapists and yoga teachers I develop and teach cover advanced human modalities as well as equine massage and bodywork. It's all about ensuring we stay at the forefront of this beautiful industry, benefiting both people and horses.
