John has been practicing Asian Bodywork in the Grand Traverse area since 2010.  He is a graduate of the Blue Lotus School of Shiatsu where he trained in Zen Shiatsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine with Michael DeAgro.  His post-graduate studies include Level Two Oncology massage training with Beaumont Hospital of Royal Oak, Mi. And ongoing classes and seminars with Chicago Institute of Shiatsu and Zenaida School of Shiatsu.  John is a board-certified practitioner and member of the American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia (AOBTA).  

John also offers facilitated stretching sessions. Don't have time for a 60 minute session, but feeling pain, decreased range of motion, or stiffness? Facilitated stretching can help. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a stretching technique that can improve your range of motion. Many therapists use PNF to help people regain their range of motion after injury or surgery. However, it can also be used by athletes to improve their flexibility (webMD.com).  Each session is 30 minutes.
