KEVIN'S TRAINING


Kevin began his career as a Massage Therapist in 1996. While working as a sub-contractor for several health spas, he started intensive training in Craniosacral Therapy (CST). By integrating CST into massage sessions, Kevin's clients began requesting full sessions of the specialized modality.

In December 2000, Kevin was hired as a Visiting Therapist at the Upledger Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. During his tenure at the Upledger Institute, Kevin trained extensively with CST developer, Dr. John Upledger,D.O. Within two years of employment, Kevin was appointed as the Director of Intensive Programs at the Upledger Institute.

Kevin started treating animals with massage therapy techniques and Craniasacral Therapy when some of his human clients asked for treatments on their pets.  He found that animals were extremely receptive to his approach and he was able to help relieve stress and chronic health challenges.
As a result of his success with domestic animals,  Kevin decided to branch out using his abilities to treat captive-wild species.

Using the same energetic communication that is used while applying hands-on work,  Kevin is able to work remotely with animals as well.  By connecting with the animals' energy,  Kevin can facilitate the self-healing process as effectively as he could  using his hands. Working with animals in this way is very effective in a zoo or seaquarium setting and with domestic animals that are difficult to approach.
