Meet the Business Owner: Tom C.
My professional bodywork career began in 1985 as the Training Mgr for Hellerwork. I was deeply moved by the transformations that occurred for students there and the skills they displayed as graduates.
In 1988-9, I completed basic massage course at World School in S.F. then the Hellerwork Training in 1989-90.
Since those early days, I've trained in a wide variety of modalities: lymphatic, pre/post natal, sports, DanceWave (and Esalen-esce method), reiki, orthopedic, Thai/assisted stretching, repetitive strain injury work, etc.
I've been in private practice since 1990 during which time I've also worked at clinics doing upwards of 40 session hours/week, with chiropractors & physical therapists, and as the bodywork element in a CAM group.
