My journey into strengthening, releasing, healing and

 

energy work has been a long and interesting one

 

~Here is my story...

​

 

I first became interested in body and energy work while practicing

 

the art of TaeKwonDo over 25 years ago. At that time, I was

 

exposed to a variety of different arts and healing methods that have

 

been used by practitioners in the far east for centuries. It was from

 

there, that I moved into personal training~ I didn't understand at

 

the time, but I had (and still do) a strong desire to help people attain

 

their goals, no matter what area they pursue them in!

 

It was while I was dedicated to getting people in shape, that I was

 

exposed to a new and different type of training call "Resistance

 

Stretching" or "Eccentric Training", a method of increasing

 

flexibility and strength by continuous movement, as opposed to

 

static or PNF stretching. I experienced immediately more mobility

 

by working a different muscle group than the one I was feeling

 

restrictions in and what I was expecting! It was from there I

 

learned about opposite muscle entanglements, strength through full

 

muscle extension, range of movements, fascia restrictions and how

 

to release them. I studied this muscle release technique for two

 

years, attaining the level of a Master Level VI Trainer (Innovative

 

Body Solutions, Ki~Hara) while I lived in Miami Beach, and built

 

up a large clientele there. At the same time while pursuing that, I

 

was also introduced to Thai massage, and how to release stuck

 

energy restrictions through stretching and pressure, and became i

 

mmediately engrossed in learning all I could about that. So I also

 

spent two years training with Sacred Body Works in Miami Beach

 

to become a certified Thai Massage Specialist. 

 

Being exposed to these different modalities, and starting with the

 

understanding of balance (yin/yang), I began to explore how muscle

 

groups affect opposite and balancing muscle groupings, and began

 

to understand how they are all interconnected. Thinking of our

 

bodies "globally", and not as individual moving parts. Most times,

 

injuries and pain occur because of a muscle imbalance or an

 

incorrect biomechanical movement in a completely different area,

 

and our bodies are just trying to compensate for that. One great

 

example is an issue that starts in the foot or toe, say for example,

 

you stub your toe or step on something hard. Your body immediately

 

starts to compensate by not putting as much pressure on that side.

 

Our bodies are made to just keep accomplishing a task, they're not

 

designed to move necessarily in a "correct biomechanical plane"...

 

so, by over compensating to the other foot, different muscles become

 

engaged to keep moving, and your body starts to overcompensate,

 

affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even the skeletal system.

​

.. eventually, you will feel pain in your upper back/shoulder/neck

 

area. And this is where many times, relief does not come, or it may

 

only be temporary, because by concentrating on the area where you

 

feel pain, you will NOT get the initial problem corrected! I have

 

worked on clients who have had problems for YEARS and were

 

never or rarely able to get any relief until we worked on the issue,

 

and in one session, they felt immediate relief! 

 

​It was during this time, that I started combining both modalities in

 

order to help my clients, and I was amazed at the results! Some

 

clients increased their ROM immediately after one session! Others

 

were relieved of nagging aches and pains after years of other

 

unsuccessful treatments in other modalities and body work.

 

Sometimes it worked, but only temporarily, because the root issue

 

was never corrected. It was then that I realized that taking the best

 

of all that I have learned and combining it into one type of therapy

 

would do the most help for everyone!  So I spent years combining

 

both modalities into what I now call Qi (energy) Centric (negative

 

muscle movement) Flow Therapy, where I use ancient far east

 

energy flow and muscle release techniques along with current

 

muscle facia release and eccentric training techniques in order to

 

help my clients achieve balance in movement, peak athletic

 

performance, overcome injury, and build strength through their

 

muscles complete ROM!

 

I would love to help YOU achieve the level of success that you

 

deserve to accomplish and the ability to live pain free everyday!
