I have worked as a holistic bodyworker for 45yrs. I trained in rolfing, Aston-Patterning, and Heller work. Early in my practice, I was able to work for an orthopedic surgeon who was the orthopedic consultant to the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

For 6 years, I worked in a pain clinic serving Long Beach Memorial Hospital. All the patients I was assigned to were being evaluated for permanent and stationary status which would have ended their medical coverage leaving them in heavy pain, on narcotic meds, and no insurance. After a few months of my treatment, their status was set as successful, by the standard set by the Workers Compensation Board, who were responsible for these patients.

During that time, I developed a new approach to the rehabilitation of patients with especially difficult conditions. And, was evaluated at 80% success on permanent and stationary candidates.

I left the medical environment to focus on further development of holistic energy healing, and have since been combining the two techniques to work with a wide variety of unusual and problematic physical conditions, with great success. I continue to work in private practice as a holistic healer.
