Specialties
Eric uses his feet to massage, focusing on legs. Then uses hands to work out tension in the belly. These two areas can help postural issues more than back/neck/spinal massage, most of the time. Hard to believe until you experience it.
Then, we will employ some stretches that employ resistance, making it feel like a workout. Stretching should strengthen, in our belief.
Clients are fully clothed and lay on a floor on a mat. Eric can't wait to share his life's work with you and teach you how to maintain good posture and feeling good in your body as you age.
Rebirthing breathwork also available for deep somatic and chest/rib openings. Trauma work. Life-changing. Please reach out and ask if you are curious!
History
Established in 2012.
Giving up the mixed blessings of being a public school teacher, Eric was silently (or sometimes not so silently) keeping an eye out for something more satisfying. At the same time, with the duties of parenting and the stress of his job, he noticed that his mild cerebral palsy was, for the first time in his life, regressing. Even though he bicycled thousands of miles a year, the coffee, alcohol & stress were taking a toll on his body.
Within 24 hours of meeting Christopher Maher, innovator of True Body Intelligence, eric made significant gains in his physical, mental, emotional & even spiritual bodies and asked him to be trained in TBI right then.
After 2 years of working on himself, Eric began formally training with Christopher, learning not only the mechanics of the work & Chinese meridian theory, but also about the landscape of human emotions, supporting clients through difficult change.
Now Eric travels to do the work and is building a thriving practice in Portland.
Meet the Business Owner: Eric F.
Eric was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy, spending much of his childhood in physical therapy and wearing leg braces. Fortunately, his mother had the insight to search for a doctor who would avoid surgery and instead favor an active lifestyle and physical therapy.
As an adult, however, despite maintaining an active lifestyle, Eric's body began to regress. Yoga was no help. However, when he met Christopher Maher, innovator of True Body Intelligence, Eric quit his job as a public school teacher and signed up for massage school so that Maher could take him on as a trainee.
4 years & hundreds of hours later of doing his own regimen of resistance stretching and much training, his mind body and spirit have transformed.
Eric finds this is the most satisfying occupation he has undertaken, with work-related travel adding to the excitement.
