I am well known in the Austin area for my ability to quickly and effectively treat pain and discomfort. I have worked with world class athletes as well as people from all walks of life. In my practice I specialize in, but am not limited to, hip and back pain, headaches, joint injuries, plantar fasciitis, nerve impingement, as well as most athletic injuries and chronic pain.
I am a licensed massage therapist and a highly regarded healing arts practitioner. I have been practicing the healing arts for thirty years. My practice of manual therapy is founded in many years of experience and training. I studied tuina (Chinese manual therapy) at the Rising Sun School of Somatic Arts, acupuncture and herbs at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tao Shiatsu under the lineage founder, Ryokyu Endo sensei. IN my manual therapy practice I specialize in health maintenance, rehabilitation and pain relief.
I have been practicing the martial arts for over forty five years. I have devoted the last thirty years to the practice and study of tai chi and qigong. I have studied under numerous internal gongfu and qigong teachers. I had the great fortune to study with Sifu Fong Ha. I am dedicated to promoting a lifestyle that is in accord with the universal principles of ecstasy, integrity, inner strength and personal transformation.
I have studied with a number of great teachers and masters of qigong, meditation, healing, and martial arts. I have been blessed to study and practice in depth under the guidance of great teachers such as HE Mindrolling Khandro Rinpoche, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso, HH Penor Rinpoche, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Namdrol Rinpoche, and others. I synthesize the essence of what I have learned in a practical and straightforward manner. My practice of manual therapy and classes reflect my dedication to make the profound heritage of Asian medicine, health, and spirituality accessible and approachable for anyone who wishes to improve their health and reach towards their full potential.
