In another life I was a famous dancer. OK, not so famous but, it was
while touring throughout the world as a professional dancer that I first
experienced the therapeutic benefits of massage. Always interested in
movement, the body, and its inner workings, becoming a massage therapist
felt like a natural progression. After graduating from the National Holistic Institute College of Massage, in Emeryville CA in 2001, I attained the highest credential in the massage profession, the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage.

After running a successful private massage practice for over six years,
I expanded to work for high-end spas such as Remède, Spa Vitale in San
Francisco and Cavallo Healing Arts Center in Sausalito. In 2012 I returned to the National Holistic Institute College of Massage and joined their team of excellent teachers in order to share my passion of massage.

As a teacher and mentor for seven years I taught both Western and
Eastern massage modalities. In the Western segment I taught Swedish,
Deep Tissue, Sports, Myofascial Therapy, and Pregnancy.  In the Eastern
segment I taught Shiatsu, Acupressure, Reflexology and Energy work. In
addition to teaching various bodywork classes, I also instructed
students in the science classes, including Anatomy, Kinesiology and
Pathologies.

As a client once said to me, "Kelly, you have the best career in the
world. People are happy to see you and even happier when they leave."
