Sandy grew up in New York and lived in Panama City
Florida before moving with her son to the Roaring
Fork Valley. She completed her massage training
in Florida and became nationally certified in 1996.
She joined the Valley Wellness Centers in 1999.
Her continuing education and techniques include
myofascial release and unwinding, core bodywork,
medical massage, cranial-sacral therapy, Swedish
relaxation/stress reduction, deep tissue, shiatsu
and Reiki level 1. She also performs functional
capacity testing and surface EMG's.
"Starting out as a formally trained medical
lab technician, I have worked in the medical and
chiropractic fields for over 20 years. During that
time I saw the need to educate people about methods
of natural health care and stress management techniques.
I derive great satisfaction and fulfillment from
working closely with people to achieve these goals.
As the mother of a school aged child I take a special
interest in natural healthcare for infants and children.
I find it exciting that in recent years there has
been research conducted in controlled clinical settings
that have documented the physiological effects and
benefits of massage. Massage and other "hands-on"
therapies are an important part of any health care
regimen"
