Donna Crikos has been a massage therapist since 1976. She continues her quest for knowledge, completing a B.S. in physical therapy in 1983, but felt that somehow the traditional medical training she received left her clients short. She went on to become a biofeedback therapist, which allowed her to be a more holistic practitioner. Donna founded a massage school, and has taught massage, anatomy & physiology, and physical therapy with humor, sensitivity, active and tactile learning methods.
