Training/Education/Experience
Paula entered the field of massage/bodywork upon graduation in 1994 from the Space Coast Massage Institute in Melbourne FL. Soon after that she began advanced, specialized training. She is certified in Cranial Sacral Therapy and Somato Emotional Release through the Upledger Institute , Myofascial Release Therapy with John Barnes, CST through Upledger Institute, the Milne Institute, and with Carol Phillips, D.C., and other techniques.
She integrates these in a holistic CRANIAL FASCIAL THERAPY treatment based on the needs of your body. We begin with a health history and postural evaluation in order to create a treatment plan to meet your personal goals.
She offers deep presence of listening and acceptance to support a client's individual process of unwinding their physical, emotional and spiritual pain in order to reach their highest quality of life.
Teaching Experience
In addition to being in private practice, in 2001 she wrote the curriculum and taught the first year of the Massage Therapy program at St. Paul Technical College. She enjoyed teaching Introduction to Massage Therapy: Theory, Practice and Anatomy Review to students of various backgrounds and ages ranging from 19 to 56.
My Approach
Massage and Bodywork have been used throughout the ages to help bring our bodies back into balance and sustain inner harmony.
I believe that all therapeutic bodywork is relaxing and supports the health of the individual. I encourage you to look at your whole life: diet, exercise and stress relief and emotional practices, to receive both immediate and lasting positive results for a well-balanced, active, and pain-free life.
I offer discount packages to encourage your commitment to yourself and in meeting your bodywork goals.
I am passionate about living a life of balance - work, play, rest, activity, healthy food, stress reduction practices, exercise. For me this includes music, cultural events, travel, time with friends and loved ones, playtime, alone time, Pilates, swimming - and I model this for my clients.
