History
I was fortunate to start working with professional athletes two years after I began massage. Having studied with one of the master sports massage therapists in San Diego, I refined my skill early on. 1988 saw the opening of my massage center, The Athlete's Advantage. I worked with the 49ers through their three-peat (1990 attempt to win three super bowls in succession) as well as one of America's most famous track coaches, Brooks Johnson, and his Stanford grad runners who succeeded to go on to many Olympic events. During this time, I provided services to the 1992 Olympic Track & Field Trials in New Orleans as well as that year's Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. Over the last 10 years, I've worked with a number of professional athlete's including Chris Mullin (Mully) and the Golden State Warrior Team as well as Wayne Ferreira whom I travelled with to Grand Slam Open events.
Specialties
Feel free to check out the reviews Yelp has filtere out. 34 years in the Holistic Health field specializing in Sports & Deep Tissue Massage, Support with Chronic Pain (esp. the neck), Neuro-Muscular Therapy, Stress Management Tools, Mind-Body Health & Life Coaching. Provide sports massage, injury rehab to Miramonte & Campolindo High School Track & Cross Country runners. My massage repertoire uses slow, deep & nurturing release work. The pressure gradient is refined: not too deep - just enough to allow you to relax into the release. Often, deep tissue work is too fast, too deep and too much. Each massage session is unique, tailored by personal requests, comfort level, physical tension and release - a felt sense of intuition. Joint mobility/Stretching also can used in combination with deep tissue work. Inner stress and tension are now a common part of modern life. Maintaining a healthy and youthful vigor requires exercise, good nutrition, mindfulness practices and healing therapeutic touch. Your optimum health and a harmonious flow of energy in your life depends on your commitment to your wellbeing. The Coaching Method I use draws upon the teachings of the Hakomi Method, the coaching methods of Dr. Jerry Lynch (Peak Performance in Sports) and other studied modalities.
