Heather is a trained movement instructor and works with
clients to EXPLORE the best way to retrain the body for
more efficient movement. Sometimes bodies hurt or catch
in certain areas because of use and abuse. If a movement
causes discomfort or pain, there is a better, more economical
way to make that movement. Movement sessions can happen
as an individual session or as part of a therapeutic bodywork
or Rolfing session.
Since beginning her practice in 1993, Heather has worked
in a variety of environments. For three years she worked
in a chiropractic office with clients including accident
victims, chronic pain sufferers, and abuse victims. She
spent five years performing bodywork at a massage therapy
center geared to rehabilitate clients and facilitate health.
At a health club she performed Rolfing®, massage, and
served as a Pilates instructor. Most recently, Heather
taught Movement training for actors at Ashland University
where she was an Assistant Professor of Theatre, and Yogalates
for the A.U. Department of Recreational Services. Throughout
the entirety of her bodywork career, Heather continues
to operate a private Massage Therapy practice. All in
all, Heather has over 5,000 hours of hands-on experience!
Whether your therapeutic goals include Rolfing, Massage
Therapy, Pregnancy Massage, yoga, or Movement sessions,
Heather has the training, versatility, and experience
to work with you toward your personal wellness plan. |
