My journey as a massage therapist and holistic health provider began in 1999 when I became a Reiki healer and Master in my home state of New Mexico. Soon after then I began attending my Alma Mater in Tempe, Arizona at the Southwest Institute of the Healing Arts where I completed the 700 hour program to become a Massage Therapist.
Yet even though I had become a licensed massage therapist I wasn’t done. I continued in my education and graduated with over 2,000 hours of experience and dual degrees in Holistic Healthcare and Mind-Body Transformational Psychology. After finishing my degrees I continued at SWIHA for a few years in their massage clinic and taught classes in both Ayurveda and Lomi Lomi -a Hawaiian style of massage.
Since then I have been a career massage therapist and holistic healthcare provider. In 2014 started my own practice that grew to a level where I began to hire on other massage therapists and in 2016 I opened up my very own Holistic Healthcare facility. Within the last 14 years that I have been a therapist I have worked over 20,000 hours and have dialed in on a combination of techniques that I have found helps people heal the most including a hybrid style of Lomi Lomi / deep tissue.
In 2020 my wife and I had to make the difficult decision to close our healthcare facility and we found ourselves looking to San Diego to be closer to family. I became a licensed massage therapist in California and we transitioned our business and family here. We are so happy to call San Diego our home and have enjoyed every minute of the sunny skies and perfect weather.
I typically tell my clients that I have a extensive toolbox of skills to help them fix the “issues in their tissues”. I am very passionate about holistic healthcare and enjoy assisting others in their healing journey. And so I do advise prospective clients that if they are looking for a single “relaxation” massage I may not be your best fit. My wellness sessions will be a first step in a journey towards healing.
