I began my training in Zen Shiatsu in 2000 with Stephen Brown in Shoreline, WA. I continue to use much of the thinking and practices learned through this study. I have found this approach to Shiatsu and bodywork to be highly effective and complementary to western injury treatment, deep tissue and neuro-muscular therapy.

My massage practice incorporates Zen Shiatsu as part of the overall therapy and is use with other modalities.
