ExperienceFirst Studies in the Late 1970s Anora first began studying massage therapy in 1977 while at university, studying Chinese and modern dance. She was fascinated by the world of sensation, healing and wholeness, that was accessible through therapeutic touch. She took several workshops and practiced with dancers in Western Massachusetts where she lived. She was told she really had a keen intuition for knowing where the discomfort paths were in people's bodies. Life Moves On Her university studies led to a degree in Chinese Language and a couple of years abroad learning more about the culture. Life continued on with a career as a business analyst. Receiving Bodywork from Varied Traditions In the 1990s, Anora revisted her early interest in massage therapy, as the stress of her own life had caused enough discomfort that she sought therapies from a variety of bodywork traditions, including chiropractice, physical therapy, acupuncture, massage therapy and Rolfing, the original form of structural integration. Receiving massage therapy and Rolfing was so powerful, leaving a far more immediate and far deeper imprint of well-being, that Anora rekindled her interest and took another intensive massage training, and began a massage practice part time. The Body Therapy Institute A few years later in 2004 Anora applied for a one year nights and weekend massage training program at The Body Therapy Institute in a beautiful natural setting outside of Siler City, North Carolina. Additional Training, The Spirit of Learning and KMI Structural Integration She received a diploma for a 500 hour training program. She continued on and took another year long training program called The Spirit of Learning for a certification in teaching bodywork. And, she took Parts 1 and 2 of Tom Myers' Kinesis Myofascial Integration (KMI) a 12 series form of structural integration. A Deep Kinesthetic Understanding of the Human Body The KMI training and work took Anora's understanding of the human body and being to a profound depth, integrating the stresses of movement and gravity, an understanding of the potent fibral net that makes up our structure - fascia, and her work changed forever after that. Whole Heart Hands on Therapies in Cary Anora had a private massage practice in Cary, off Cary Parkway near the Apex town line, serving clients from as far as North Raleigh and Chapel Hill. Whole Heart Hands on Therapies had many regular clients, weekly, biweekly and monthly. Anora participated in golfing events, chair massage in corporate settings, at gyms, out-call massage in a variety of settings. She explored work settings in a number of local spa settings; beautiful environments to visit as a client. Moonshadow Therapeutic Massage in Cary She was proud to be accepted as a therapist part time with Moonshadow Therapeutic Massage in Cary on Chatham Street, a medical massage clinic with tremendous experience and expert staff. One day she slipped and injured her thumbs, and had to stop doing bodywork for six months, while she waited to see if they would heal, and how they would heal. A Move to Apex Getting married, moving out of Cary and further west into Apex, Anora took some time before starting her second practice, Apex Massage for Women. Her thumbs had healed, and she could focus on balancing her workload. Massage Choices for You Massage in Apex, Cary, Holly Springs, Durham and Raleigh is plentiful.
