TRADITIONAL MASSAGE TRAINING

I graduated from East West College in Portland, OR and completed the 801 hour program in Spring, 2010. I immediately received my massage license a month later after completing the Oregon Board exam. Outside of the standard curriculum I focused my specialties on therapeutic bodywork like deep tissue and structural integration strategies.
