History
My healthcare career started in August of 1988 when I graduated from the Suncoast School of Massage Therapy in Tampa, Fl. (MA9200), and went to work at Aaron Mattes' rehabilitation center in Sarasota, Fl. Aaron is a noted expert in the Active Isolated stretching method. That led to my teaching career, initially back at the Suncoast school and then in 1996 I started teaching continuing education as an approved provider by the State of Florida and the NCBTMB. In Feb. of 2006, after graduating with a Masters Degree in Oriental Medicine from the East West College of Natural Medicine, in Sarasota, passing the Board Exams, and completing advanced training in Beijing, China, I received my Acupuncture Physician license (AP2231). My medical practice has been in the Tampa Bay area, mostly in St. Petersburg, while I have taught the continuing education seminars throughout the State, and will be expanding to nationwide soon.
