Having had the privilege of spending the past 38 years as a Licensed Massage Therapist in Ulster County, New York I have concluded that, post graduate, some of the best studying I have done has been during my 45,000+ client hours. My table, my Shiatsu mat and my clients have been and continue to be my best teachers along with my mentors in the field encompassing science, body, mind and spirit.

In my work intention leads and my hands follow. Having studied at the Swedish Institute in NYC where my substantial foundation included anatomy and physiology, I was prodded to study Applied Kineseology, Polarity and other energy modalities and eastern philosophies and to incorporate the martial art of T'ai Chi (of which I was already a student) into my work mechanics. Furthering my studies I later did post graduate work through the British Institute of Homeopathy and continue to further my education through the CEU requirements in NYS as well my more than three decade path of T'ai Chi Chuan.

Come visit, enjoy the music offered inclusive of jazz, folk, classical, blues or classic and modern rock culled from a collection of over 30,000 albums that add to what I hope will be an experience beyond our expectations.

Rehabilitative massage and reclamation are my passion. No fault clients are accepted with prior approval, doctor's Rx and client commitment. A participant in the Community Care program for veterans and U.S.F.H.P. for the active
