Anthony Statler

With decades of experience in the massage, fitness and wellness industry I have wide and varied tool belt of techniques and massage modalities which allow me to adapt and customize services to fit the needs of clients.

My background in wellness includes a B.S. Interdisciplinary Degree with focuses in Fitness/Wellness and Social Psychology. I have trained internationally, have taught in the industry, been a guest speaker for several complimentary and alternative medicine programs and a national massage symposium.

The ability to adapt to the needs of my clients is very important factor in the long term success of my practice, however I have a philosophy of massage and bodywork that I feel has been at the core of my success. No matter what physical, emotional or spiritual needs a client may have, they will not benefit from any therapy fully if their Autonomic Nervous System is not aligned with the work that needs to be done.

In other words they need to be relaxed and ones autonomic nervous system does not relax simply because you tell it to. For the ANS to switch from the sympathetic (fight or flight) to the para-sympathetic, the person must feel safe. Therefore the first and most important aspect of entering a therapeutic relationship is developing a sense of trust and safety. Only after that is established can I best help someone heal.
