Lindsay’s interest in Energy Medicine and Healing began in the early 1980’s, when her father was dying of cancer. When pain medications were failing to make him comfortable; she would often give her father a foot massage. It amazed her how effective it was in helping to calm him and relieve his pain. Helping cancer patients heal and manage their pain continues to be an area of personal and professional study. Lindsay received Advanced Certification in Oncology Massage – Body Therapy Center, Palo Alto in 2002.

Ruth Pal-Freeman is a native Californian born here in Santa Clara County. After working over twenty years in the high tech field, Ruth felt it was time to find a new career.

It was this natural ability that ultimately guided her to a career as a therapeutic massage therapist.
