t the age of 13, my mother's complaints about her aching lower back gave me the opportunity to heal from my touch.  After laying my hands on her back, the pain disappeared completely and that was when I realized I had healing potential.

Michael-ji Allan Navarro, CMTMy formal healing training started with Massage Therapy in Pinellas Park, FL then a Masters degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine, Natural Gourmet Vegetarian Cooking, National Guild Board Certified Hypnotherapy, Thai Yoga Medical Massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand and more recently, Dragon Reiki attunements.

The "ji" at the end of my name means "beloved" in Sanskrit and was bestowed as a blessing when I was ordained as a Kriya Yoga Swami in 2004.

I specialize in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Myofascial Release, TuiNa Chinese Acupressure, Traditional Thai Yoga Medical Massage and Energetic work including Chakra Balancing, Qigong, and Dragon Breath Reiki Healing.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage:

Known as MLD, very gentle massage therapy used to drain excess fluid from the body and improve the overall functioning of the lymphatic or immune system to improve metabolism and promote the removal of bodily toxins & waste.  MLD is commonly used to treat Lymphedema, characterized by the blockage of lymph nodes in the arms & legs.

Myofascial Release:

Applied hands-on, in kneading-style strokes that stretch, loosen, soften & lengthen muscle tissues

Traditional Thai Yoga Medical Massage:

Described as a unique blend of acupressure, reflexology & yoga stretches combining Ayurveda with Chinese Medicine.

TuiNa Chinese Acupressure:

Soft Tissue Manipulation: used for joint injuries and muscle sprains
Acupressure: finger pressure on acupuncture points for internal disorders
Bone Setting: Traditional Chinese Orthopedics for joint alignment
Nei Gong: Internal Qi development to activate the patient’s Qi for healing
