Bio
Michael Roberson, CMT BCTMB
I got my start in massage while still in high school. My high school had a program called Health Occupations, which was an introduction to the health field. In my senior year, this class allowed the students to work at the local hospital, nursing home and children's wing, where the students performed massage on the patients, 20+ years later, I am still doing massage with passion!
Still, I continues my education in massage and bodywork since. Currently, I have well over 2,000 hours of education in the field of massage and bodywork. I also saw the need to join and to be active in my professional associations: the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB - I am Nationally Board Certified #397447), the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP). Within the AMTA, I now serves as the Financial Administrator and Newsletter Editor for the California State Chapter.
The State of California does not currently have a State Licensing Board for Massage Therapy. (I am hoping/working on seeing that change!). Currently, most of California's cities require the voluntary California Massage Therapy Council certificate, which I also saw the need to pursue and to receive this California state-recognized certification. I am a Certified Massage Therapist. (CMT #4487).
I also have a National Provider Identification Number (NPI 1689384562) should you need if seeking reimbursement through your insurance company. I can always provide you with a paper receipt as well.
My knowledge and background studies include just some of the following techniques and modalities: - just a toolbox of education:
Acupressure, Anma, Auricular Therapy, Bowen Technique, Chair Massage, CPR & First Aid, Geriatric Massage, Hot Stone Therapy, Lomi Lomi, Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Myotherapy: Trigger Points, Neuromuscular Re-Education, Nutrition, Oriental Health Systems, Pregnancy & Infant Massage, Reflexology, Reiki (Masters' & Teachers' Level), Cranial Sacral Therapy, Spa Services, Sports Massage, Swedish Massage, Thai Yoga Massage, Shiatsu, and Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques
Education: California College of the Physical Arts,
Huntington Beach, CA
Desert School of Somatherapy, Palm Springs, CA
South West Institute of Healing Arts, Phoenix, AZ
Shamanic – Life Path Studies, Philips Ranch, CA
Freedom from Pain Institute, Erik Dalton,
Oklahoma City, OK
Even with all of this knowledge and training, I am the first to admit, I do not know the answers to everything. I do, however, have a great network of therapists, professional staff/allied health professionals and a library of information to find the right answer for you. Should there a come to a point that you discover I am is not the best therapist for you, I will gladly refer you to another person who I hope will meet your needs.
Clearly, I love what I do. It will become evident to you with my touch and my attention to your goals.
I will look forward to the opportunity to be of service to you.
