I graduated as a Myotherapist and Fitness Instructor from the Bonnie Prudden School of Physical Fitness and Myotherapy in 1983. In January 1984, I opened the NM Myotherapy and Exercise Clinic in Albuquerque, NM. Today, MyoRehab enjoys having multiple Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists on staff and has been going strong since 1994. I became a Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist in 1990, the first year the exam was given. Later, in 1996, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist (#4498) and a Registered Massage Therapy Instructor (#I-0373) shortly thereafter. In 1984, I helped establish the National Association of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists and held almost every position on the board during the ensuing years.

I also belong to the MYOPain Society whose members present the latest scientific research on Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction and Fibromyalgia. My Partner, George S. Pellegrino, LMT, CMTPT and I attended the First International Fascia Research Congress when scientists from all over the world presented the then new and exciting information about Fascia at the Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. Additionally, I attended the Third International Fascia Research Congress in Vancouver, Canada, and participated in a two-day cadaver lab, as well as attending lectures and workshops for the remaining four days about the latest research on fascia. Fascinating.
