About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy a vacation and travel somewhere relaxing and scenic that I haven't been before. Meet people and celebrate Life!

ABOUT ME
I am a career changer. Formerly an Electrical engineer I transitioned to Alternative Medicine. Since 2003 I've had a shiatsu massage practice in Cambridge/Boston, USA . I've enjoyed offering shiatsu as is a wonderful mind/body therapy helping people overcome aches/pains and improve overall health. In addition I'm an avid Tango dancer which has been a great way to travel and meet people at Tango Festivals and milongas throughout Argentina, Colombia, USA, Canada and Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep an open mind and treat others as you would like to be treated yourself and enjoy cultural exchanges.
