SHIATSU & THAI BODYWORK

Since I moved to Shanghai in February 2012, I won’t be in the office at Chakra Khan for awhile–alas!  Jesse and Karen are still there, however, and they are still awesome. You can book with them on the Chakra Khan website.

You can also check out my retreat-leading partner Sarina’s workshops and coaching services at sarinalamarche.com.  (In particular I recommend her free workbook you get when you sign up for her newsletters. I’m not just saying this–I’ve done the workbook myself and it’s so helpful!)

For more bodywork suggestions in the Twin Cities–please refer to my Feb. 2012 Newsletter, or send me an email.

I hope bodywork will be part of my life in one way or another while in China…though I’m not sure exactly what form it will take–work? study? receiving? all of the above?  You can subscribe to my blog or e-newsletter list or twitter to follow my transition, and also to make sure you are alerted to when I’ll be back in Minneapolis visiting and taking appointments.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope to see you in person sooner or later!

backstory for new visitors:

For the past many years I’ve worked as a bodywork practitioner in Minneapolis. My bodywork training includes over 1000 hours of training in Asian bodywork forms, including Shiatsu, Thai Yoga Bodywork, Reiki, and cupping. My teachers include those of CenterPoint School in Minneapolis, the Lotus Palm School of Montreal, a Tibetan Massage center in Mcleod Ganj, India, and study with midwife and healer Homprang at Baan Hom Samunphrai in Thailand. I am a Certified Practitioner of Asian Bodywork through the AOBTA.

In 2008 I opened Chakra Khan Massage & Asian Bodywork in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with my friend Jesse Haas. In addition to being a bodywork space, Chakra Khan was home to a series of shows by local artists. I also led creativity retreats at CK with my pal Sarina Lamarche. Chakra Khan is a warm and inspiring space, and I feel honored to be a part of it.
