About Me
Kerri Jesse MA60195656
I’m from a small town in Michigan, born in the 80’s. When I was small we moved from Michigan to Washington to meet another part of the family. From this point on I went on a bit of a roller coaster through life. I have had many experiences, hobbies and areas of “expertise”.
From August 2005-September 2012 I worked in childcare. I have a variety of experiences here ranging from infants-preteens, special needs and teaching. During my seven years working at a single location in White Center, WA I have also taken many college courses in Early Childhood Education as well as Massage Therapy.
I attended Cortiva Institute-Seattle in April 2008 completing their 1,000 hour extended program. In this program I took courses in; Swedish massage, history of massage, Anatomy Physiology and Pathology, Musculoskeletal and Kinesiology, Sports, Spa, Injury treatment, Business and Ethics. Shortly after finishing school I joined a small tutorial group with Brian Utting, where we learned more in-depth on topics covered in school as well as some new modalities such as bindegewebsmassage and micro-nutrition. In 2013 I started a Reiki course with Tonya Zarlengo. I finished her Reiki Mastery course in early 2014 and have been an active Reiki practitioner since. In 2017 I took 2 classes in Manual Ligament Therapy from Stephen Wadsworth in Seattle, WA.
In 2017 I received training in Deepfeet Ashiatsu. I am currently working to receive my certification in Deepfeet Ashiatsu and will add this to my services once certification has been obtained. Ashiatsu is great for people who want more pressure. It can be a great addition for athletes or fitness enthusiasts.
