Over the years I've indulged my curiosity in many kinds of bodywork by studying pretty much anything that interests me, including: Essential Oils, Reiki, Qigong, Myofascial Release, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Indian Head Massage, and taking many classes with Jeffrey Yuen. They all influence my work, even if I don't end up using every technique.
