Simon started his journey on the path of healing himself and others over 20 years ago. It started when he coincidentally heard his mother talking to a friend about Reiki, and hearing this, a lightning bolt went off in his head. He knew he had to learn more about this amazing yet simple healing technique.A couple of years later after practicing at different levels and lineages of Reiki, he was attuned to the master level of Tummo Reiki by its founder Irmansyah Effendi in 2003. The style incorporates Kundalini energy, Earth core energy, Reiki & Shing Chi (Shing Chi is a healing energy that comes through the Celestial Chakras above the Crown Chakra). Simon particularly loves Tummo Reiki because it focuses on strengthening, opening, and working through the heart.
As he learned more about Reiki, Simon wanted to find more ways to apply his healing energy. This is when he came across Massage Therapy, and it felt like a perfect fit for him. In 2002, he graduated from The Institute for Therapeutic Massage as an LMT. Simon has taken pieces of everything he’s learned and combined them into an amalgamation for what he hopes to be a truly therapeutic & healing massage.
