Amber has been practicing therapeutic bodywork since 1995 upon graduating from the Utah College of Massage Therapy (UCMT) Professional Program. In 1999, she continued her education at UCMT, completing the Clinical Career Track along with the Structural Integration Track. She was fortunate to work with Norm Cohn, founder of UCMT, and Steven Padgen for her initial training in the 10 sessions of Structural Integration. Andy Crow arrived at UCMT just after her training was complete and she was given the opportunity to be a Teacher’s Assistant in his class for the next two years. In the fall of 1999, Norm Cohn asked if she would revise and teach UCMT’s movement class. This began her love of teaching and nine wonderful years in the classroom.

Norm and Andy, both trained by Ida Rolf in the 1970’s, instilled in Amber a respect for the Guild for Structural Integration (GSI). She continued on at the GSI in the fall of 2006 and the spring of 2007, completing her Advanced Five Series training with Emmett Hutchins.

Amber's approach to Structural Integration comes from the basic principle that the human body is a self-healing organism.  When all the parts of the body fit together, move freely and are functioning properly, then health and well being become our natural state instead of pain and discomfort.

Whether she is helping someone with chronic pain or helping athletes increase their performance, this basic principle is the underlying foundation for all of her work.

Amber continually enjoys working the intelligence of Ida’s ten session system while keeping each individual’s goals and concerns in hand to create a unique experience.

When she is not practicing bodywork Amber enjoys laughing with family and friends, traveling, and spending time with her two pugs.
