By Appointment Only. If you like, you may leave talk to me about your needs before seeing me to assure we are a good match. I have extensive experience with working with people and see the uniqueness of each body and mind. My bodywork training began in 1991 following my work in the Addiction field. I graduated from Seattle University 1980 with a BA in Counseling/Community Services with a specialty in Addiction; then in 1987 I received my Masters (MPA) from The Evergreen State College. My bodywork career officially began in 1991 when I realized there was more to therapy than talking so I became a Licensed Massage Practitioner (LMP) after graduating from Brenneke School of Massage (aka Cortiva Institute) in Seattle. I am a graduate of The Ayurvedic Academy, 2006 (aka Kerala Academy) and am an active member of the Ayurvedic Community. My daily studies in Ayurveda stayed peaked to such a degree that I decided I must dive even deeper into my love of the Vedic tradition known as "The Science of Life". Thus, I am currently seeking certification in AyurJyotish (aka Vedic Astrolgy. I am thankful for the opportunity to study the secrets of the Universe. Along the way, my work with people has become infused with the knowing that each person & each body is entirely unique. To see the individual in this manner allows me to apply myself to find what is needed. I have learned to allow my hands and my mind to listen so we can remedy the issues that brought you. My intention is to build trust and work from my heart with integrity and gentleness. Peace, Joanne
