Philosophy
and Training:
Originally trained in the humanities, Judy then studied at the C.G. Jung Institute in Switzerland, where she became interested in the relationship between soma and psyche (body and mind). Through her own personal journey, she began her training as a body therapist, graduating from the Chicago School of Massage Therapy in 1984. She has maintained a private practice since that time.
She then went on to study and become a practitioner of Trager(tm), a movement reeducation modality, for ten years. During this time she also became a certified Infant Massage Instructor and began her studies with the Upledger Institute. Through Upledger she took classes in Neuromuscular Therapy, Zero Balancing, Visceral Manipulation and Lymphatic Drainage.
Her passion was ignited by the CranioSacral work. She took the Advanced CranioSacral class with Dr. John Upledger in 1993, and has assisted many classes over the years, including the Advanced class (a practitioner must be selected by the instructor to assist with the Advanced class). She has also taken the CranioSacral Therapy for Pediatrics and The Brain Speaks workshops.
In 2002 Judy embarked on a year long training with Suzanne Scurlock-Durana called "Healing from the Core", culminating in a teacher training in Costa Rica.
In addition, Judy has taught many modalities in massage schools for 16 years. She was instrumental in curriculum development from the beginning at Crystal Mountain Apprenticeship in the Healing Arts in Albuquerque. In 1999 she moved to Lexington, KY, and co-founded The Lexington Healing Arts Academy, where she was the Program Director for five years and taught classes.
Dual SER sessions require at least one other therapist. Judy is pleased to work with Jeanne Elsen and/or Gregory Goodson.
Judy is once again in Albuquerque. What do her clients have to say about her?
"Words cannot express my gratitude for the increase in my quality of life -- through your gifted hands."
"Some fragrance stays on the hand that gives the rose" 'yours must smell quite sweet'.
"The love and compassion I feel from your hands makes me feel safer in the world." |
