Hi, I'm Ted
Hi, I'm Ted, a Massage Therapist and Holistic Health Care Provider on a mission to help you discover a new sense of well-being. My practice is grounded in the time-tested principles of Chinese Medicine - Yin/Yang, 5 Phases, and 6 Qi - and I specialize in alleviating chronic pain with the help of a variety of bodywork modalities.
I am also certified as a Diplomate in Canonical Chinese Medicine® (DCCM®) from the Institute of Classics in East Asian Medicine® (ICEAM®) following a style of Chinese Medicine wholly based on the canonical writings of the Chinese Han dynasty. As a DCCM®, I have the most authentic and effective herbal medicine system currently available for use.
Every individual has a unique story, intricately woven into their bodies and emotions. I am dedicated to helping you unlock your body's innate ability to heal and thrive. My journey is founded on adaptability and a holistic approach to pain management. I'm here to guide you toward a life of wellness and vitality.
My Approach
My approach is about expanding spatial awareness, acknowledging less as more, and discovering areas of comfort. I focus on distraction, desensitization, and symptom modification. My goal is neuromuscular re-education, unwinding tension patterns, and creating a sense of safety while moving in a direction of ease.
I firmly believe in the remarkable capacity of our bodies to adapt and heal. Together, let's harness this natural resilience to empower you to overcome challenges and obstacles.
Embracing Adaptability
Pain is rarely an indicator of tissue damage. I'm here to challenge conventional beliefs about pain and help you understand its complex nature, differentiating between discomfort and actual harm. Pain is important, but it can't be in charge; it's more about sensitivity than damage.
Rethinking Pain
Posture is not simply "good" or "bad." Instead of labeling postures, I emphasize mindful movement. Let's explore how prolonged periods in certain postures under tension can affect your mobility and work towards fluid, pain-free motion.
Posture & Movement
I don't believe in cookie-cutter solutions. My guidance is tailored to your specific needs, embracing a bio-social approach that takes into account both biological and social factors influencing your well-being. Ticky-tacky guidelines have no place here. You are in control, both the lock and the key.

Unveil Your Potential
Curiosity
I have a bio-psycho-social perspective and embrace the unknown. Let's explore the power of uncertainty together. While I don't claim to have all the answers, I'm committed to embarking on a journey of discovery and learning with you.
I understand the impact of language, and I believe in fostering a positive and empowering dialogue around your body. Just as the human body is robust, our approach to healing should be resilient and nurturing. Words like "fix," "broken," "good," and "bad" out to be reconsidered.
