Someone told me after illness had taken me from one specialist to another, 'Find the answer yourself!' So I branched off from college teaching to health practices. Now, 30 years later, I work by the Qunem motto:

Your body has a story to tell.
If it's a tale of woe, rewrite it!

My clients find restfulness in the comfort and joy of feeling in balance. I encourage clients to explore the depth of their body's potentials - and to learn about: Thomas Hanna's Somatics, Milton Trager's approach, Tuina, Shiatsu, JinShindo, sports massage, Thai Massage, Myofascial Release (MFR), athletics, yoga, t'aichi, Feldenkrais, Breema, and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF, my personal favorite)... The names are many, but the objective is a body free from restrictions. I'm always told at the end of my sessions: What a difference this massage made!

I definitely want to come back for another session! - Tim S.

I learned so much! - Courtney W.

[The therapist] is a scholar, and a gentleman. - Mona T., M.D. to patients she'd referred.

Headache? What headache? - Tim S. (return visit)

I was startled - it's like my quads melted away! - E.L., Fitness Instructor (doing routine stretches after her first MyoFascial Release treatment)

I felt my body floating above the table, and I said to myself, 'If this is it, I'll go with it!' - Carol T., mother, health worker (recalling her JinShinDo experience)

Weave a web of restfulness...... Restore what is supple
Balance the ch'i and be joyful
Prepare the rested body for action
