Ira worked as a massage therapist for 20 years in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Her specialties included treatment plans to restore postural balance, deep tissue, medical massage, hot stones, foot reflexology and reiki. She developed her knowledge of anatomy as an instructor in massage schools and yoga teacher training programs. Ira was privileged to work for Dr. Favero (Favero Chiropractic), where she expanded her understanding of the nervous system and how to expedite the body’s self-healing mechanisms. Ira is elated to introduce Muscle Activation Technique to North Ogden, and to share her love of reflexology. Her intention is to help revitalize and mobilize the body, so that her clients are empowered and energized to enjoy their lives and fulfill the longing in their hearts.

Passions and Influences

Ira’s first experiences of healing came from her mother’s nurturing touch, the comfort and companionship of her childhood cat, Bacchus, and Mother Nature’s nourishing and restorative presence. Her spiritual life was ignited early in massage school, while studying the subtle contours of bones and the intricate design of checks and balances within the body. Ira also enjoys the arts, creative hobbies, yoga, mantra practice, meditation, nature walks and the therapeutic benefits of classic rock.
