B i o g r a p h y 

I have been a bodyworker for more than ten years with a license to practice massage therapy in NYS. I became a massage therapist after dancing, professionally in ballet and modern dance for over 25 years. Throughout my career I worked through various injuries and learned alot about how my body works as well as how it heals and stays healthy. I became fascinated by anatomy while working with my teachers in the Alexander technique, Klein technique and yoga. Becoming a massage therapist was a way I could continue to explore the living breathing anatomy with bodies other than my own. My studies have continued into the subtly expressive fields of Zero Balancing and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy...

Contact me about bodywork sessions.

I gratefully acknowledge my teachers, June Ekman, Barbara Mahler, Genny Kapuler, Athena Malloy and Rachel Lynch-John for their invaluable insight and deep intelligience of the body.

Eileen has an extensive background in dance, training in ballet and later modern dance. She performed and taught for more than 25 years in New York and elsewhere. In 1993, she received a "Bessie" for sustained achievement in the works of Susan Marshall & Co.  

As a bodyworker, Eileen's skills are informed by her experience with movement, injury and embodied anatomy. She is NYS licensed as a massage therapist, graduate of the Swedish Institute (year 2000), certified as a Zero Balancing practitioner and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist. Eileen is also certified in prenatal massage and infant massage instruction for caregivers.

Eileen also designs and makes yoga clothes.
