About the practitioner

 

Practicing since 2006, licensed in SC MAS. 12978, NC LMBT #06550 and GA #MT006782, Anna Gallagher has been a student of Massage Therapy and has enjoyed researching how to use the guidance of Neuromuscular Therapy and Integrated Myofascial Therapy to help teach her clients to have a better relationship with the internal conversation between their body and mind. As a lifelong student of alternative medicine and movement, Anna began her own journeys into healing through martial arts, yoga, independent study, and training with holistic practitioners since her early teenage years.  She has been lucky enough to train with Whapio Diane Bartlett and Eileen Sullivan of La House of La Matrona, West Asheville in their Holistic Doula program. Although Anna is not a practicing Doula, she feels that her training in compassionate care has greatly influenced her Massage Therapy practice and Yoga education. Anna was awarded a Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (BCTMB #514641-06) by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork for fulfilling and exceeding the requirements and standards to be recognized for this great achievement. Anna has over 200 hours in Continuing Education credits in Research, Ethics, Teaching, Gross Anatomy Dissection, Touch for Health Applied Kinesiology, and Thai Yoga Bodywork. In May of 2015, Anna graduated from Tough Love Yoga's Alignment based Hatha Yoga RYT-200 hour Teacher Training. Anna began training in Aikido in 2005 and received the rank of Nidan- 2nd degree Black Belt in Aikido in November 2018 under the Instruction of George Kennedy of the Aikido Center of Atlanta and her examination was proctored by the USAF Technical Committee at Florida Aikikai’s USAF Winter Camp. She is extremely grateful to all of her teachers, classmates, clients, and future students with whom she will continue her own studentship and training.
