2025: SITE UPDATES COMING SOON
My Chi Nei Tsang sessions now integrate much more fully lymphatic, vagus nerve and deep circulatory support (advanced CNT life pulse techniques) as well as qigong breathwork and a marvelous self-care routine adapted from a qigong grandmaster physician.
Into the amazing weave of Thai bodywork, I’ve integrated Thai Abdominal Massage into sessions (by request) and the wisdom of fascial stretching, active release technique and myoskeletal techniques for therapeutic power.
Foot to Crown Movement Rehab. Over the past three years, I’ve completed a depth study of gait, foot mechanics, pelvic floor/ hip rehab, spine, shoulder and neck movement therapy and developmental movement somatics. Powerful protocols to heal!
Finally, I’m working on a book, Three Medicines: Five Powers inspired by the challenges of the pandemic and our opportunity to bring ancient and cutting edge medicine together. Best to all for a happy, creative and healthy 2025!

If you are considering working with Geoff, definitely do it!! He is an incredibly kind, devoted, skilled and intuitive healer. I received CNT massage from Geoff regularly for a number of months, and it greatly helped to release tension, reset my digestion, and relieve pain from endometriosis. Geoff was always caring, supportive, and went above and beyond to educate himself on endometriosis and the menstrual cycle difficulties I was dealing with. I originally sought out his help specifically for abdominal pain, but our sessions together helped with much more. He works holistically and has a deep and wise understanding of the human body. I feel lucky to know a healer like Geoff!
“I first met Geoff for a Thai-yoga massage and have become his regular client when my body needs some deep relaxation. Having experienced various massage techniques, I find Geoff’s technique especially benefits my body. He understands body coordination very well which makes him different from most masseurs whom I’ve met. Recently, I began to take Alexander Technique lessons with Geoff. This practice helps me relieve a lot of tensions in my body system. Moreover, I use A.T. in my Tai Chi practice. It has improved the quality of my martial arts significantly.”
If you are looking for an amazing Thai session, look no further! I discovered Thai Massage traveling in Asia a few years back. As a yogi, I loved the combination of stretching and deep tissue work. Before finding Geo, I’d only had real general sessions– some good, some better than nothing. Geo’s are on a whole other level– he has a therapeutic approach that has helped relieve shoulder pain and an old hamstring injury that used to flare up sometimes in my yoga practice. He not only did some deep fascial work on the tissue, he coached me in making a shift in how I move to prevent injury. One more thing– Geo is one of the very few bodyworkers who brings abdominal massage into the session. Geo is very professional, respectful and personable. I highly recommend!
“When I came to Geoff, I was suffering from chronic neck pain. I explored several modalities but most only offered temporary relief. With his healing hands and clear communication, Geoff guided me in developing a level of self-inquiry into my own body. This has translated into a greater understanding of how to undo habitual patterns so that I can have the freedom to make choices in movement that feel good. I now feel empowered using Alexander fundamentals to shift out of pain when it arises. Geoff is a sincere, funny, and heartfelt practitioner which makes me look forward to my weekly sessions with him.”
Honestly, I feel like these Thai sessions with Geo have a reverse aging quality to them. I feel refreshed, relaxed and invigorated for several days following each session. Part of it I know is from the incredible variety of movement and techniques in the Thai practice. I love the combination of joint movements, compression, stretching and channel work. Part is the skill and healing gifts that Geo brings. I have received and given a lot of bodywork during the course of my career. Thai sessions with Geo have been some of the very best and perfect for this time in my life. I highly recommend!
“I enjoy wonderful results from my continuing Chi Nei Tsang sessions with Geoff. Before embarking on my journey with this healer, I resigned myself to the belief that periodic fatigue, aches and pains were the normal realities of aging I endured while living an active life. Geoff’s skilled and intuitive use of his professional talents made a huge difference in my daily energy levels and mental acuity. He truly possesses the gift of healing touch. My unconditional recommendation to anyone committed to achieving and maintaining their best level of health and fitness would be to work with Geoff.”
