Frederic | Elite Massage Therapist
EDUCATION
East West College of Healing Arts. Graduated 2011.
SUMMARY
"Touch is very powerful. I know it has been powerful in my life. I have always been one who wants to make people happy and help improve their lives. Massage has provided me an opportunity to do that. The ability to help others is always at my literal fingertips. The experience of being able to alleviate a person’s pain is such a rewarding thing to be able to do."
EXPERIENCED WITH
Swedish Massage, Trigger Point, Deep Tissue, Prenatal, Neck and Shoulders.
SUCCESS STORIES
"I remember one client who was coming in for chronic shoulder pain. I was able to give her short term relief by working on her shoulder, but it always came back just as painful. We kept at it, trying new techniques with each session, until finally I discovered it was the muscle underneath her shoulder blade that was the culprit. Now, thanks to their patience and diligence that lead to that discovery, I have learned when to recognize that muscle as an issue in others."
WHAT MAKES YOUR MASSAGES UNIQUE?
“I often like to say that for all my experience and knowledge about health, human anatomy, and massage techniques, I will never have the same expertise as a client who has to live inside their own body every day. I strive to bring that level of humbleness to my practice. I listen and work with my clients to understand their goals for wellness and find what works best for their body."
WHAT DO YOU MOST APPRECIATE WHEN RECEIVING MASSAGE?
“The best massages I have received came from therapists who not only have good technical skill, but also a great table side manner. I really value that presence that can make you feel safe enough to let yourself go."
WHAT KEEPS YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT MASSAGE?
“The work is its own reward for me. I like to think I am helping make the world a better place by improving the day of one person at a time. When I finish a session with a client and they tell me I turned their whole day around, that is such an amazing feeling for me!"
