Hello Friends, Family and Neighbors!
I have been in the world of the healing arts a very longtime. Back in the early 90's many of my friends were going to massage school. Inspired by their healing hearts, for a fee, I built massage tables for students that could not afford to purchase the costly tables. Missionaries from my church would help. Those were the days when hotels did not have spas, we mixed our own oil-based massage lotions and made face masks from fresh fruit. We also foraged through riverbeds to select our stones for hot stone treatments. Black, hot stones were not invented yet. Things sure have changed a lot!
Govinda Therapeutics was established in 1997 to serve and heal others. I began serving the Valley in North Scottsdale. After some time, I had the opportunity to open/rent rooms in multiple studios around the Valley. While doing so I had the luxury of working side by side with an Acupuncturist in Sun City who was on the Arizona Board of Acupuncture, another that was an Acupuncture teacher at Cortiva as well as a Chiropractor who was the President of the Arizona Board of Chiropractors.
After opening my Midtown Phoenix location at the Garfield Galleria my passion inspired me to move to Fountain Hills. Here I plan on continuing to heal residents, visitors, friends, family and neighbors.
I'm happily married and a life long student, teacher and facilitator in the wellness space. Health and the Healing Arts have always been my passion. In fact, my first job was as an aerobics instructor at 16 years of age. To this day I practice aerobics along with Yoga, going to the gym, meditation, running, biking, and hiking.
I also have not eaten fast-food in over 13 years!
(Gov-vin-da) Protector of cows, cow herder, Lord of the mountain, can be said at the end of a prayer as a thank you. Govinda.
