If you are familiar with the “Five Love Languages” then I would say “touch” is mine. My earliest memory of giving massages was as young as 6 years old. I remember massaging my mother’s hands and feet as my way of showing my love for her. As I got a little older it progressed to me giving her back rubs when she would come home from work. She would describe my touch as healing and intuitive; I knew where she was experiencing pain. My mother always told me I should become a massage therapist. However, it wasn’t until I dated a massage therapist that I saw firsthand the profound impact I could have on someone’s life. So, in my mid 20’s I decided to switch professions from Cosmetology and go into the field of massage therapy.
I have been a massage therapist for 16 years, 13 of those years have been in private practice. Through my search I have taken several continuing educational courses, all in the quest for the “One” modality which I could pour myself into. Throughout my journey, I’ve studied Cranial Sacralfascial therapy, the “Gillespie Approach” with Dr. Barry Gillespie, and Orthopedic Massage the “Hendrickson Method” with Dr. Tom Hendrickson along with other modalities. I’ve spent some time working with special needs children volunteering as a camp counselor for Indiana’s Riley’s Hospital’s “Champ Camp”. There was a period in my career when I took a pause in my quest. However, there is a saying that goes “When the student is ready, the teacher appears”, and that is exactly what happened when I found MAT.
I discovered Erik’s Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy in late 2019 while browsing through YouTube. One of his videos popped up on my recommendations list. I watched several of his videos and absolutely loved his approach, theory, and way of seeing the human body. What intrigued me the most was his down-to-earth personality! Erik makes learning a fun experience. For a person like me, I needed that stimulation to keep my attention. I loved how simple he made learning his techniques and approach to the human body. Erik Dalton’s work was everything I had been searching for all those years. After integrating MAT into my practice, I experienced firsthand the benefits it was providing to my clients and I decided to pour myself into the Master Myoskeletal Therapist program.
In early 2022 I decided to complete my MMT training and then received my certificate from Erik Dalton himself during the December MAT Workshop in Costa Rica. Because of Erik Dalton’s work, I have been inspired to grow even further as a therapist. He has sparked a fire inside of me to never stop learning and never stop growing. I am grateful to my clients and my industry. I’ve been blessed with a busy practice that continues to grow. If you’re a therapist and are considering studying under Erik Dalton, I highly encourage you to do so. The Dalton community is a wonderful network of caring and talented therapists where you will find the support that you need. I am so blessed to have found my “pot of gold”! Thank you, Erik, for your dedication and life’s work to our industry. I’m proud to be part of The Dalton Gang!
