Curriculum Vitae
Past workshop presentations through the years.
I have been presenting Fascial Therapy courses in various forms since 1995.
Summary of Experience
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education 1984 and a Bachelor of Health Science in Musculoskeletal Therapy 2007.
​
I have been a leader in the field of massage education, with 38 years of clinical experience and 33 years of teaching in massage and manual therapy education, and almost 30 years delivering international instruction in the form of a hybrid modality first known as Integrative Fascial Release IFR (1995), then Integrative Soft-Tissue Release ISTR (2007), and finally in 2015 Fascial Therapy FT to practitioners of massage, osteopathy, physiotherapy, chiropractic and manual therapy on four continents.
​
I was nominated for the Ashley Montague Award from the Canadian Touch Institute in 2011. The winner was Leon Chaitow.
​
I was active in the industry and profession by virtue of membership and participation in AAMT, Australian Association of Massage Therapists, Massage and Myotherapy Australia until 2019.
​
I have chaired one of the most important national committees in AAMT in education and training from 2004-11. E&T role is to advise the board of directors on a host of HTP VET related topics, scope of practice and regulatory issues, continuing education decisions for provider approval regarding post graduate education, and numerous ethical, duty of care issues.
​
I have also chaired the Course External Advisory Committee for the MST degree at Endeavour College of Natural Health from 2006-2009
​
I have instructed in practical and theoretical course study in palpatory literacy, basic anatomy and physiology, surface anatomy, clinical pathology, Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, indirect osteopathic methods, orthopaedic physical assessment, joint play, joint mobilization including global and local regional assessment. I have clinically supervised countless clinics from fundamental Swedish massage to 3rd year MST students.
​
I was one of the original conference presenters for AAMT, delivering MET for Headache & Neck Pain, SI Joint Dysfunction, along with Fibromyalgia and Fascial Articulation workshops delivered for AAMT National Conferences in Canberra 2005, Melbourne 2007 & Sydney2009.
​
The years 2004 & 2006 saw me deliver presentations for the National Myotherapy Conferences sponsored by IRMA
​
The years 2006-2008 saw IFR being presented in Hawaii at Hawaii Healing Arts College in Kailua, Oahu
​
The years 2008-2009 saw IFR exposure through Natural Health Practitioners of Canada with workshops and conference presentations in Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon & Winnipeg, Canada.
