My skills
I was the self proclaimed "spa goddess" at my initial massage class at Esalen. When I first visited the famed Insitute in Big Sur in November 2002, I had been receiving massage for more than 20 years at establishments such as the Golden Door, the Greenbrier, Nemacolin Woodlands, and the Grove Park Inn. But the style of massage I received overlooking the Pacific totally blew me away. I felt cradled and entranced by the rhythms that seemed to flow from the heart of the ocean through the therapist's body and into my own. I was hooked, and received bodywork each day of my visit - and kept coming back from the East for more. Eventually, I became a certified Esalen® massage practitioner, and moved to the California coast.
