~My Background~
My own healing journey began after a nearly fatal car accident at the age of 16 in Mercer Island, Washington. I started receiving Reiki, Massage, CranioSacral, and Acupuncture regularly. The doctors were amazed by my "miraculous" physical recovery. But emotionally, I was facing some depression. When I told my bodywork therapist that I was considering taking medication, she showed me the book Healing With Whole Foods and referred me to a nutritional counselor. I started reading about food and mood and became very interested in Taoism and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM); my favorite books at the age of 17 were The Tao of Health, Sex, & Longevity by Daniel P. Reid and Paul Pitchford's Healing With Whole Foods.
When I attended Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, I continued studying these topics in addition to creative nonfiction writing, trauma, and memory. However, life took me on a little detour through 2 years of working as a legal clerk, 1 year of law school, and some rock-hounding in Arizona, before I finally made it to the Heartwood Institute in Garberville, California, to attend Paul Pitchford's Asian Healing Arts & Whole Foods Nutrition Program. Early on in the program, I completed a 50 hour week-long Hot Stone Massage Intensive and loved hot stone massage so much that I decided to extend my program to receive more Massage Therapy training.
Now I am a Board Certified Holistic Health Practioner (CHHP) through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and a Nationally Certified, Washington State Licensed Massage Practitioner with more than 1000 hours of training. I hold certificates in Asian Healing Arts & Whole Foods Nutrition, Massage Therapy, Hot Stone Massage, Reiki I & II, Upledger's CranioSacral Therapy I, Lomi-Lomi, Matrix Energetics, and DeepStone LaStone Therapy. I am also in the process of becoming a certified Sheng Zhen Qigong instructor.
Because of my extensive experience as a client over the past 12 years, and the excellent training that I received at Heartwood, I am extra sensitive to my clients' needs, the complexities and multi-dimensional aspects of healing, and I always treat my clients as I would wish to be treated: with respect and gentleness, with kindness and compassion.
I moved to Guemes Island in October 2007 and then off the island and into Anacortes in May 2008. In addition to starting my private practice, I work a few days a week at Anacortes Health & Nutrition and on-call as a Massage Therapist at the Chrysalis Spa at the Majestic Inn in Anacortes and at the Watergrass Day Spa at the Heron Inn in LaConner.
Wishing you health and happiness, sincerely,
Rebecca
