About Obele

With the understanding that people are more than just physical beings, I acknowledge that my work very well may facilitate healing on mental and emotional levels also. My continual quest for knowledge and student approach to each session give rise to a more therapeutic style of bodywork. Though, fundamentally, people essentially have the same parts, often there are subtle intricate details that set each person apart and thereby sculpt each session to move in a slightly different direction. My ability to identify and effectively address these details is crucial in the success of my efforts to help each person advance in their healing process!
As an athlete, I understand the physical taxation that the body can sustain and, in reflecting upon my own experience, I aim to allow for the highest level of performance with my work. Each session is used to systematically address the areas of the body that are anticipated to be heavily stressed in conjunction with those that surface through information shared before I begin working as a result of an athlete’s participation in their prospective sport. Experiencing the physical, mental and emotional rigors of sports firsthand lend me irreplaceable insight as to the condition of athletes in search of customized bodywork that corresponds with the wear on their bodies.
In my travels around the world, I have been afforded the opportunity to experience cultural elements that play a significant role in how one might view and approach health. Time spent in Europe and Asia, in particular, has enriched my awareness and appreciation of cultures and a wide variety of personalities across a wide spectrum of socioeconomic classes. This exposure has certainly been a useful tool in terms of considering and interpreting the goals and values of potential recipients of my work.
