Teresa Dudrey was born and raised in Utica, NY. Her love of nature and gardening sprouted from her grandmother’s ability to keep a huge garden and sitting on her back porch, silently watching over the yard. Teresa’s love of alternative healing methods was also inspired by her grandmother. From an early age, Teresa felt there must be natural ways heal the body. After a few years of soul searching up and down the east coast, she found where she was meant to be, in Denver. Teresa knew she wanted to be a massage therapist and once she received a Mayan abdominal massage, she enrolled in school. Graduating from the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado in March of 2006, she went on to enroll in the school’s Year II program. This training further sharpened her skills in Myofascial release, joint mobilizations, Chinese meridians, and structural integration. Her passion to help empower women guided her to learn prenatal, labor, and postpartum massage from Kate Jordan, infant massage instruction from the International Loving Touch Foundation, and Maya Abdominal Massage from Rosita Arvigo and Ms Beatrice Waight. She continues to take classes to further her knowledge to help women. Teresa feels that in order to bring better balance to this world, women need to educate their minds, take care of their bodies, and most of all, feed their souls.
