Erika Winston, LMT, ATSI Structural Integration Practitioner, RFST Trainer

Erika has always felt a strong affinity towards the healing therapies and began studying Massage Therapy and Reiki in 2005. She has in-depth training in ATSI Structural Integration, Orthopedic massage, Deep Tissue, Craniosacral Therapy, and has achieved a Reiki master level. She has earned over 1200 hours of training/education and over 600 hours in Continuing Education Units (CEU's). She consistently attends workshops and seminars to further her knowledge. She recently became a trainer in this revolutionary system called Resistance Flexibility and Strength Training, also known as the Genius of Flexibility. This is a subtractive method of removing dense/scar tissue from the body while being actively stretched (pain-free). It correlates with the Chinese meridians and has personality traits that go with each organ. It is a complete system that covers the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person. In addition to her private practice, she also worked with the Women's Tennis Association and U.S. National Soccer team.

She has a broad, yet specialized understanding of the body/mind/spirit connection and how to facilitate healing with each individual client. She is enthusiastic, extremely committed to her work, and conducts services professionally, with a high level of dignity and integrity.
