Timothy Teh (Tim)

Eli Thompson

​Timothy Teh's journey in healing arts began when he travelled to Thailand, to the Wat Pho Temple to study Thai Massage. In Thailand he received a certificate in Advanced Medical Thai Massage. He then studied at the Melbourne College of Natural Medicine, Australia in Remedial Massage Therapy. Tim is a yoga teacher and a Shamanic practitioner and in recent years worked at the Sanctuary at Sedona, Arizona a Shamanic drug rehab.

Tim's wish is for people to feel more divinely and lovingly connected to themselves and to life. To understand that beliefs can be changed to align with the inner beauty of the higher self-wisdom.

I have been a Licensed and Nationally Certified Massage Therapist for ten years, having graduated from the Muscular Therapy Institute in Cambridge, MA, a two-year program with strong emphasis on anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Since graduation, I have taken numerous workshops and have read/studied voraciously, exploring this field of spatial medicine.
In 2003, I completed a 450-hour program on KMI Structural Integration at Tom Myers' school: Kinesis. I am regularly awed by the power of this work to transcend not only our physical limitations but also our ingrained psychosocial habits and attitudes.
Having become so committed to KMI Structural Integration, I became a Certified Teacher of Kinesis in 2005.  I now travel the east coast teaching 2-4 day weekend workshops titled "Anatomy Trains." These classes are intensives designed to introduce the theories and practices of KMI Structural Integration to Massage Therapists, Personal Trainers, Physical Therapists, and Yoga and Pilates teachers.
