Owner + Instructor of Kauai Massage Trainings. He has been practicing massage therapy since 1995. Sometimes the teacher, always the student, he always has been open to new knowledge. His passion is to help people find their own passion, in whatever they do, whether massage or other aspects of their life. His training has taken him to East Palo Alto in 1995 and Chico in 2007, both in California, followed by additional training in Kapaa, Hawaii in 2015. While he practiced treating professional baseball players using sports massage, his experience has provided Jeffery with foundations in myofascial release, Lomi Lomi, Mana Lomi, craniosacral work, Swedish massage, and expertise in teaching overall body anatomy and physiology.

Born and raised on Kauai, I have always had a deep love for my community and our island. In 2006, I pursued a career in nursing, becoming a registered nurse through Kauai Community College. My passion for healing and caring for others was inspired by my mother, who not only attended nursing school with me but also worked as a massage therapist for 20 years. In 2023, I expanded my practice to include massage therapy, passing on my mother's gift of love and healing. This has been an incredibly rewarding journey. Alongside my partner, Jeffery, we are developing our massage training program into a registered school and Health & Wellness Center, where we are excited to offer massage training to those who wish to care for and serve our community.

Teri is a Licensed Massage Therapist  in both Alabama and Hawaii as well as Certified Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis  trainer. She lives in Huntsville with a home on the island of Kauai. She moved her thriving massage and fitness practice featuring Onsen Therapy™ and the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®  to Huntsville in late 2019. She also teaches anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and massage theory at the Golden Lotus Massage Training Spa. 

With more than 15 years of teaching and movement training experience, Teri brings clarity and ease to the clinic as well as the classroom, assisting both clients and students to find the source of the pain and help alleviate it.  She realizes the importance of palpation for tissue assessment and for performing safe and effective manual therapy technique and focuses a portion of the anatomy training to learn to “read” the tissues as bodywork is performed. For every massage therapist, a thorough understanding of the location and relationships of the body’s structure is essential. As an instructor of bodywork and palpatory anatomy, Teri’s passion for anatomy and physiology really plays into the training she provides.
