My bodywork training began in 1986 in Central America, where I lived for several years (se habla espanol).  I hold a NYS massage license since 1991, certification in yoga therapy, and I served on the Ethics Committee of the U.S. Association for Body Psychotherapy during its first four years.

I've explored countless body-oriented approaches: yoga, Pilates, BodyMind Centering, and more, particularly adopting the ways of Polarity energy and biodynamic craniosacral work.  A big fan of participatory athletics, I officiated high school field hockey, professionally, for eight years.  I now practice at the Bay Shore Holistic Health Clinic, and I've been a volunteer massage therapist with Hospice Care Network, working with dying people and their caregivers, since 2009.

Also a professional harpist since 1988, I bring a musician's aesthetic to the practice of bodywork.  Visit my harpist website at www.newyorkharpist.com.

I've also been a horse farmer for several decades.  See what that's about at www.BigRiverBarn.com.

PS, All the art on this website is from a single painting by a Nicaraguan artist whose name I don't know -- I own the painting, but I can't read his signature -- can you?
