I wanted to take a moment and show my appreciation and gratitude for all the teaching opportunities I have had over the last 3 years between workshops and their wonderful slew of instructors as well as having been a teacher at the Kansas City Massage Institute for a year and a half now. Being an instructor for this wonderful field of massage and manual therapy is so extremely rewarding and I feel very lucky to have been able to teach in the capacities that I have so far.
I am also very excited to share all the big plans I have for my career that is just on the horizon now with you all.
Enjoy some of these “action” shots of my teaching over the last few years 🙏

However, coming to a setting like this requires a much different mindset involving empathy and respect for both their physical and mental condition.

I am very grateful for the trust and access to have this opportunity and what other doors it may open for me.

Excited to announce my new certificate in Clinical flossing/Voodoo Flossing from OMT training!
This modality is very unique in the it involves wrapping an area of an extremity tightly with floss tape and performing a series of range of motion or exercises with the compression applied. A unique subset of neuromuscular mechanisms are at play similar to those of regular manual therapy that is sensory and mechanoreceptor modulation.
The available research on clinical flossing is strong however the research has only small and moderate effect sizes.
Soon I’ll post some video of voodoo flossing in comical application for those interested!
