Body Therapeutics

About Body Therapeutics

 

I facilitate inner healing through meditative, neuro-muscular relief that leads to increased body                                            awareness and spiritual balance. I believe that health is a result of living harmoniously with oneself and                                           the environment, thus I meet the need for persons to become more connected with themselves and                                            reach a state of equipoise.

 

Body Therapeutics is not just a business. It is a dedication to provide the highest standard of bodywork                                          and quality products. Through massage/bodywork and meditation I have received much more than the medical/health benefits. I have gained discipline, compassion, respect and above all love, for myself and for others. I would like to offer these benefits to you through massage and related products that help accomplish inner peace and healing.

 

Body Therapeutics opened in January 2000, after I returned to Barbados from an 18 month study/work program in the San Francisco Bay Area. I received my certified massage training at The National Holistic Institute (Emeryville, California, USA) and after graduation continued on with their volunteer Teaching Assistant program for 6 months. I became Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCTMB) in November 1999. This is one of the highest credentials for massage practitioners in the USA and ensures that I have had a high level of education and follow the code of ethics set by the NCBTMB. The Bay Area is a wealth of resources for the healing arts, so most of my training included yoga, meditation, breathwork, body-mind movement and self-awareness. I continue to bring all of these disciplines into my work.

 

Body Therapeutics is owned and operated by myself, which allows me to work with my clients on a more personal basis. It also allows me to be more flexible with my hours and can therefore accommodate my clients when it best suits them.

 

In 2014, I expanded the structure of my business to create 'Ajna Holistic Sanctuary', a community environment that offers patrons the opportunity to expand their consciousness through massage/bodywork, yoga/pilates, and other lifestyle skills.  The Sanctuary also facilitates workshops, retreats, and a holistic marketplace.  The Sanctuary closed its physical doors in August 2023, but our products and services can still be accessed online.  Please visit our website for further details.
