As a passionate wellness provider in Naples, Florida, I believe that staying current in the field of therapeutic bodywork isn’t just important and essential. Healing is both an art and a science, and every client deserves the most up-to-date, effective techniques that support their unique goals. That’s why I’m excited to share that I’ve recently completed multiple advanced continuing education (CE) courses in massage therapy each designed to deepen my expertise in muscle recovery, sports performance, post-surgical support, orthopedic techniques, and whole-person wellness.
Whether you’re an athlete, recovering from surgery, or simply seeking relief from stress or chronic tension, these trainings are already being integrated into my hands-on work to help you heal more efficiently, move more freely, and feel more like yourself.
🧘 Whole Person Health and Massage Therapy
This course explored the powerful connection between emotional, mental, and physical health. It reinforced my belief that true healing must support the whole person—not just physical symptoms. You are more than just a body, and your care should reflect that truth.
🏃♀️ Sports Massage: Injury + Recovery
Athletic recovery and injury prevention strategies. Techniques include work to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate muscle repair—ideal for athletes, high-performers, and active individuals who want to stay in peak condition.
🧠 Sports Massage: Athlete Care and Conditions
Every athlete has their own movement patterns and vulnerabilities. This training helped me refine how I assess and treat repetitive strain injuries, muscle imbalances, and performance-limiting conditions. My sessions now offer even more precision, especially for those preparing for or recovering from intense physical activity.
🏥 Orthopedic Procedures and Post-Surgical Precautions
Post-surgical recovery requires a special level of care. This course covered the most common orthopedic surgeries and healing timelines. Whether you’ve had a knee replacement, shoulder surgery, or spinal procedure, I now have expanded insight on how to safely and effectively support your recovery process.
💪 Orthopedic Massage Techniques for the Upper Body
Focusing on the neck, shoulders, upper back, and arms, this course equipped me with highly specialized techniques to relieve tension, restore function, and promote healing in one of the most commonly stressed areas of the body. It’s ideal for those with postural strain, tech-related discomfort, or injury recovery needs.
