 Hello, I’m Fred.
I am a sensitive, emotionally connected man who has taken life’s challenges as growth opportunities. I believe all people are on a spiritual journey and respect where people are in the process.
I am intuitive and use my skills in the treatment room. I skillfully feel body tissue to learn what treatment is appropriate for each person.
I welcome all people for who they are; men and women, all races and ethnicities, all spiritual walks, and sexual orientations.
I’ve been practicing massage since 2001 and have received training from a variety of sources:
- Educating Hands Massage School--Swedish Massage
- Myofascial Release (John F. Barnes)--pain treatment specialty, soft tissue work.
- Craniosacral (John Upledger)--subtle body work for those with intense pain.
- an apprenticeship with Chad A. Wright, COTA, ACBT. Chad is the founder of Connective Therapy and is one of the area’s most effective and sought-after therapists. I’ve assisted Chad in numerous
seminars as his Clinical Coordinator.
I’m certified as a Bodywork Therapist (ACBT) by Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals
(ABMP) for over 500 hours of professional training.
I believe that emotional pain can be carried in physical ways, and I’ll work with you to help identify your own personal connections. I endeavor to be an empathetic practitioner,
and to that end I’ve worked with Mark E. Smith, ACSW, Family Tree Counseling Center Director, to hone my skills in listening, emotional recovery, and deep process.
Prior to my career as a massage therapist, I was an educator and director of children’s camps. I ride a motorcycle, am a buckskinner (reenactor), and do volunteer work for several organizations.
Please see the contact page if you’d like to make an appointment. I look forward to meeting you and
working to reduce your stress and pain.
