Trust

What my training means for you.

Real credentials are evidence: a met standard, a tested method, and decades of refining both.

A tensegrity model representing the structural integration method — I teach this method, not just practice it. That standard shows up on the table.

Credentials can sound like alphabet soup, so let me tell you what mine actually mean for the person on my table.

The letters, in plain terms

I am CAMTC certified, the California standard for massage therapy, and Board Certified in Structural Integration, the recognized credential for this specific method. I trained in Anatomy Trains Structural Integration with the people who developed it, and I became a lead instructor in the work.

When you see real credentials, you are seeing evidence: a met standard, a tested method, and decades of refining both on real bodies.

The structured twelve session method taught and practiced — Teaching the method means I work from a clear map, every session.

Why teaching matters

Teaching the work changes how I practice it. I have to be able to explain why, name the structure, and defend the order. That clarity comes back to you as a clear plan, honest expectations, and a high standard you can feel.

A high standard is not a badge on a wall. It is what your body feels in the first ten minutes.

Nearly thirty years in, I am still training, still learning. That is the other thing real credentials should tell you: this person never stopped getting better.

The short version

CAMTC certified and Board Certified in Structural Integration.
Trained in Anatomy Trains with the people who built the method.
A lead instructor, which sharpens how the work is delivered.
Nearly thirty years in and still training.
