My journey with yoga started when I began to struggle with Crohn's disease over a decade ago. These tools for self-healing have helped me to live at ease and in return, care for others. I currently work in our hospital system in Rehabilitation Therapy Services with those overcoming various injuries and illnesses. Thai Massage naturally worked its way into my life as a creative extension off of my yoga mat. Based on many of the same yoga asanas and principles, it moves like a flowing rhythmic dance between two bodies, awareness being with the breath. The receiver is stretched, kneaded, rocked and compressed, twisted, folded, and opened. "For it is in the giving that we may receive."
