~Education~
Wendy graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in English and an emphasis on Child Development and Dance. She attended massage school in Truckee, CA with Kimberly Calistro, founder of the Body Being Massage Center, took the National Certification Exam and continued her education with Emergency Response Massage International thereby earning her registration with F.E.M.A., The Upledger Institute Inc., the Healing Arts Institute, the Healing Mountain Massage School, studied under Loren H. “Bear” Rex D.O. founder of the Ursa foundation, and received her Certified Pediatric Massage Therapy training and international certification from Tina Allen, the founder of the Liddle Kidz TM Foundation.
Her education has enabled her to develop her own therapeutic approach which she calls the MultiTechnica Method "(it) allows me to adjust a treatment to the needs of my client using a combination of techniques." The MultiTechnica Method is applied to teens and children alike. Her strong knowledge of the body and spirit supports her ability to provide massage for pain management, chronic tension, and injury related sessions as well as sessions for overall well-being, stress reduction, and general relaxation. Wendy's touch is filled with respect, privacy, compassion, purpose, and care for the body and spirit.
