I have been a Certified Hellerwork Practitioner since 1985 and earned undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Michigan in the early 70s. My Hellerwork Training was conducted by Joseph Heller. I took five Hellerwork continuing education seminars in the first three years of my practice and continued to study privately with Heller during that time.
I am also a Certified Myoskeletal Alignment Therapist (the work of Erik Dalton), a Certified Structural Integrator SM, and was licensed by the State of Hawaii as a massage therapist, as well as the Chiropractic Board of Examiners, State of Maryland when I lived in these states.
I've been teaching and expanding the Myofascial Release Massage since 1991. Currently I am visiting faculty at two massage schools on the East Coast. I have certified four other excellent bodyworkers to teach my seminars - currently in Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia.

WHAT I CAN OFFER YOU
1. Hellerwork — As a Hellerwork Practitioner I am trained to re-align the human body in the earth's gravitational field.
By the end of the 11 session Hellerwork series you will attain much better posture with much less effort and will notice that much chronic and acute pain, tension, and stress is
greatly diminished or just plain gone as a by-product of the alignment process.
Hellerwork includes:
2. Problem Solving
Perhaps the most rewarding part of my work is helping people who have tried many approaches but found little or no relief. I have a great deal of experience in working with specific issues. I specialize in:
Because of the plastic nature of fascial tissue and the relatively non-invasive nature of my work I can be very, very flexible in my approach to your solving your problems. I don't have to worry, as a surgeon does, that if I try one thing and it doesn't work, that I will not be able to try something else. This problem solving work is also very useful when done in conjunction with chiropractic care and physical therapy. (A number of my students have gone on to work for both chiropractors and physical therapists.)
3. The Myofascial Release Massage
This work, which I developed and teach, is a much simplified version of Hellerwork in that it takes strokes from each of the 11 sessions and combines them into a 1 to 1 1/2 hour to 2 hour full body Myofascial Release Massage. Because I am intentionally and directly manipulating fascial tissue you will feel its relaxing effects from half a day to a week and cumulatively from session to session. If you like a deep massage you will love this work.
