Qualifications and professional associations
I have a master-level equivalent degree in psychology from Bochum University (Germany) and a Master and PhD in philosophy from Oxford University (UK). For my current bodywork practice, I hold an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Massage from the Bodywise School of Massage and I trained in Therapeutic Healing at the McNeil School of Healing, both in London (UK). In addition I studied foot reflexology at the NHC Institute, advanced massage techniques (soft tissue release, with Michael Epstein, CMT), and shiatsu at the Dragon & Phoenix School of Shiatsu and with the Japanese shiatsu master Ryokyu Endo (all in Montreal). For the counseling part of my work, I draw on my psychological background and further training in psychotherapeutic and counseling techniques.
I am certified in Quebec by the Regroupement des Massothérapeutes du Québec (RMQ) and the Association des Naturothérapeutes du Québec (ANQ). Since the work I do is based mostly on my intuitive skills and integrates many modalities, it tends to fall between all categories. Such is life! Personally, I consider my intuitive gift and my own continuing healing and growth in awareness as the best and most reliable qualification for all of my work, together with ongoing research and study.
