“The capacity to heal resides deeply within us,” says Connie. “My goal is to encourage each person to take a creative healing journey–one that cultivates intuition, awakens self-discovery, and brings the mind, body, and spirit full circle.”

Connie is a Licensed Massage Therapist and a musician.
A graduate of the Potomac Massage Training Institute, Connie is licensed as a massage therapist in the District of Columbia.

She is currently training in Pre- and Peri-Natal Birth Dynamics with members of the Castillino PreNatal and Birth Therapy Training Institute, and in “Formative Embodiment” with Jim Feil, a body-oriented therapy that uses observation of body language to tap into deeper body tension and trauma patterns.
