“Health Is A Personal Journey”…….That’s Not Only A Philosophy At Integrations – But One Of The Building Blocks……. As Well As A Reminder That I Am Only A Guide In The Process.

HELLO!…..MY FULL NAME IS MARCHIA K. OlIVER…..I founded Integrations in 1995 with the intention of helping people discover, nurture, and sustain increased states of health, energy and beauty.

I AM A WELL-QUALIFIED GUIDE.

• Bachelor of Arts, University of Connecticut
• Nationally Certified Massage Therapist and Bodywork Practitioner
• Graduate of Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy’s Zen Shiatsu Program – based on the teachings of Shizuto Masunaga of Japan.
• Nationally Certified Shiatsu Practitioner with AOBTA (American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia) – awarded upon completing the 500 hour Zen Shiatsu Program
• Meridian Theory – I gained broader understanding of Oriental Medicine during two years as an assistant to a well-respected acupuncturist/instructor. Attended seminars with Pauline Sasaki and Jeffery Yuen.
• Esalen Massage Training And Reiki Level II

ALMOST 10 YEARS AFTER MY INITIAL TRAINING IN BODYWORK, I EXPERIENCED SOME SIGNIFICANT TURNING POINTS THROUGH TWO DIFFERENT MODALITIES.

• Dr. Linda Burnham’s System for Facial Rejuvenation – 500 hours

In 2001, I began the study of this modality and my life began to open up. Dr. Burnham’s work led me to Kauai, Hawaii for a month of intensive study. Hands-on work continued during a 10-day graduation session in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

• Upledger’s Craniosacral Therapies (CST1  & CST2) and Somato Emotional Release

        Dr. Upledger’s SomatoEmotional Release was a trip of another kind, AND an amazing one, as well. Through these works I           found myself releasing, embedded patterns and embarking on a transformational journey that turned out to be both                       professional and personal . . . and the journey continues.
