Owner, Southside Shiatsu
Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area
I have worked for three years as a Shiatsu Therapist at my private practice, Southside Shiatsu, and one and a half years at the Great Metropolitan Backrub. I have done on-site Shiatsu at the University of Minnesota Law School, Delta Airlines, Bakken Science Museum and Asthma Awareness Week Walk.
My goals are to provide the highest quality Shiatsu to my clients and to continue my education in Asian Bodywork Therapies. I also believe that it is important to provide the highest quality references to my clients to acupuncturists, chiropractors, and other Alternative Medicine professionals. I am studying this year to take my NCCAOM certifying exam for Asian Bodywork Therapies.
