    I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 18 years. Since my first 'TRAGER experience' in 1999 at an Introductory Workshop in the TRAGER APPROACH, I instantly knew that this was the path to follow, needed to receive and later give to others. The TRAGER APPROACH is movement education, pure and simple. In one aspect of the work you are able to receive passive movement that informs you on a sensing level what it feels like to move free of pain or stiffness. This feeling opportunity affords you to further develop your positive awareness repertoire through effortless and pleasurable movement. The result can be a feeling that is lighter and more alive. TRAGER helps break patterns (physical and mental) of unconsciously held tension. Meeting tension with an informed and supporting touch is one of the guiding principles of this work. TRAGER is not about fixing this or that, but rather in teaching the body mind how it could feel from the inside out. TRAGER's non intrusive touch is able to offer and guide the nervous system to deeply and effectively relax toward embodying a new habit in being naturally at ease, more often!
