Susanne Morse
State Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Medical Massage Practitioner, Jin Shin Jyutsu Acupressure Practitioner, Shiatsu Practitioner, and Reiki Master Hello! I am Susanne Morse, OmBodywork`s owner and a state licensed massage therapist in Moab, Utah. Many call and know me as "Ata". I have been certified in Massage and Bodywork since 1996. Having survived a "terminal illness" against all odds in my early teens, I was drawn to the Healing Arts in general since that time, and engaged in studies from herbalism to healing with sound, color and movement, until finding my calling in the hands-on healing of Professional Massage Therapy, Shiatsu, Acupressure, and Energy Work while living in Santa Cruz, California in the 1990s. I was born and raised in Germany before coming to the U.S. and am fluent in German and English with a bit of French, Italian and Spanish. Aside from therapeutic massage and bodywork, one of my biggest passions and influences has been Aikido, an education of movement and subtle perception, and a path of inner growth and awareness, which I began studying in the early 80's. I hold the rank of Nidan in this amazing discipline. For over 15 years now, home has been Moab, Utah, where I`ve established a private practice in therapeutic massage and bodywork since 2009. I am looking forward to working with you! |
