What People Are Saying

“I am completely confident of Char’s excellence and ability to be present with clients, especially those who have experienced deep trauma.”

“I really enjoyed taking a five day basic Esalen Massage workshop from Char and was impressed with her style of teaching. She has an amazing gift for communicating the content of the course.  In over thirty years of teaching, I have encountered few instructors who can do both so well and at the same moment in time.”

“I have been an RN for 36 years and a massage therapist for 15 of those years. My first workshop experience at Esalen with Char was almost 2 years ago and more recently just last month. She showed me that I was only using a part of my potential and myself in working with my massage clients. She helped me find the energetic and spiritual side of who I am and how to bring that to the table. A truly gifted, skilled and phenomenal teacher, Char is the embodiment of the magic of Esalen.”

“I feel that it is Char’s deeply compassionate nature as well as her vast experience both personal and professional, coupled with her innate healing abilities that allow her to reach people on a deep level. Her work is important and offers us hope for a pain free and joy filled life.”
