My Credentials

Academy of Clinical Massage

Intensive year long study, application of skills and classroom hours with Whitney Lowe completed 2015.

 

15 years of hands on experience

I work in massage full-time with a high-level of awareness. One of things that makes me exceptional is that I have variation of pressure. I work on very deep for those who need that and also work at a dimes pressure for work on your lymph system. I specialize in rehabilitation massage and help you prevent injury and recover from it.

My location has no steps and is easy access for those in discomfort.

I have taken master-teacher classes and then applied the learnings to my sessions. 

I am well versed at neck work and sacrum work for restoring functional movement patterns for pain free movement.

In Pennsylvania we are allowed to do corrective exercises on the table and I have a nice oversized table for this purpose.

There are physical therapists, chiropractors, personal trainers in the classes I take because my teacher is non-ego teach everyone who wants to learn. Our focus is on high-level healing with non-ego. Therefore when necessary, I suggest working with different skill sets of other health care providers. The goal is your highest good!

Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB)

Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork is the highest voluntary credential a massage therapist can obtain within the profession—it is above and beyond entry level state licensure. By becoming Board Certified, I represent a community of therapists who have gone above standard educational and work experience requirements with a dedicated and lifelong commit to continuing education. Furthermore, I live up to higher standards and ethics in alignment with The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).

To achieve my Board Certification, I provided proof of a minimum of 750 hours of education, 250 hours of professional, hands-on work experience, passed a criminal background check, agreed to uphold NCBTMB's Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics, and passed the Board Certification Exam. By passing the BCETMB and meeting all requirements, I demonstrate advanced assessment and critical thinking skills, as well as a commitment to excellence. I wear the credentials BCTMB with pride for myself, my profession, and, most importantly, my clients.
