History

Established in 1998.

I began my business as a Shiatsu practice in 1986. Most of my clients were treated in salon and health club environments. In 1992 my practice began to integrate conscious breathwork and creative imagery techniques. I went into private practice in 1992, largely as a word-​of-​mouth, cottage industry. Having established a broad client base, I opened the doors of Alternative Healing in October of 1998.

Continuously seeking to embellish effective healing tools, yoga, Reiki, and astrology were integrated into the office menu.

Much of my work now addresses the needs of special interest groups. I create body/​mind programs including yoga, meditation, and healing practices for children, elders, PWPD, and on-​site office populations.

Special programs are created to suit the needs of specific physical conditions and school objectives for skills development.

Personal appointments are currently available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
