About the Practitioner

Pete received his Texas state massage therapy license in 2006 from the Texas Healing Arts Institute located in Austin, Texas.

He has received extensive training through the Upledger, Barral, Chikly and D’Ambrosio Institutes in the fields of craniosacral therapy (advanced practitioner level), osteopathic movement therapy, visceral manipulation therapy as well as the brain and lymphatic drainage. Pete also serves as a volunteer massage therapist with Hospice Austin and Oncology Massage Alliance. His interest in volunteering began during his social work internship in the early 1990’s while he was studying for his Masters in Social Work degree at UT Austin. In the past, Pete has worked as a licensed master social worker and as a pastor. He currently provides trauma relief therapy through disability, rehabilitative and psychological providers throughout the Austin area.

Pete maintains his massage therapy practice in north Austin. He finds that his current practice of massage therapy integrates the physical-emotional-spiritual aspects within himself as well as his clients through the use of compassionate touch. Pete is married and has three adult children. He enjoys hiking, reading and photography.
