Steve has been practicing massage since 1988. He received his training from Brian Utting School of Massage and Muscular Therapy Institute of Boston (Ben Benjammin). He discovered massage at a training seminar, which brought about a divergence from illness medicine to a natural wellness medical model, and to help people heal themselves. Over the years he has explored many massage modalities with much continuing education and pulls them as needed from his big toolbox of skills. Some of these techniques include deep tissue, clinical assessment and treatment, specific work for auto and work injury, sports massage and Reiki. Steve teaches hands on techniques at Ananda Massage Training a multi cultural massage school in Mountlake Terrace, WA. He volunteers with AMTA-WA (member since ‘89), and with Snohomish County Massage Therapists Network as its chair from 2005-Present. He has been a member of the Washington Sports Massage Team since 1989 and has provided sports massage at the 1990 Goodwill games, the US Open Golf Championship Chambers Bay 2015, STP, Seattle Marathon and various events around the state. His wonderful wife Patty keeps his dots connected. He’s very proud of kids Chris and Mike & four incredible grandkids Cole, Jayson, Skylar, and Aria who keep his heart overflowing. Hobbies are Backpacking, Cub Scouts, Photography, and Music. Given enough of the right energy and opportunity such as massage, the human body can continue its journey to optimum improvement of health for life. Get your minimum monthly vitamin “M”.
