Ron Reach, LMT

I began studying massage therapy in 1989 at Atlanta School of Massage where I learned Swedish massage and deep tissue. I used these techniques for several years to treat friends and family.

In 2001, I went back to massage school, this time to Rising Spirit Institute in Dunwoody, GA. It was there where I first learned about MFR, and about the world-class teacher, John F. Barnes, who developed MFR in the early 1970's.

I began my studies with Barnes in 2005. First taking seminars in Atlanta, I pursued Barnes' teachings for four more years, traveling to Philadelphia, Detroit, Myrtle Beach, and Sedona, Az.

This technique has affected my life in profound ways. The first time I had a client with long-term pain and was able to help them using MFR, I felt right at home! Every session is a new learning experience, and as Barnes says, I 'approach each session with the curiousity of a cat.' I look forward to sharing the MFR techniques with you.
