About Pamela Joy, PhD, LMT

I received my PhD in Biological Anthropology from the University of Kansas, and was a tenured Professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio until 1995, when I made a huge career change. In the course of explorations into my own health issues, I left academics to become a certified Hellerwork Structural Integration Practitioner, and began to study CranioSacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute. I took that first class in CranioSacral therapy as a prerequisite to another modality, and to this day, sixteen years later, I am still learning, in addition to teaching Introduction to CranioSacral Therapy in Northern Arizona and assisting at Upledger CranioSacral workshops around the country. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) as a continuing education provider for nationally certified massage therapists, and also by the Arizona State Massage Board.

In 1998, I also became a certified Yoga Therapist and Instructor with Integrative Yoga Therapy. Since that time, I have combined bodywork and yoga to create customized therapeutic programs for individuals and groups dealing with a wide range of health and healing issues. I now live and work in Sedona, Arizona, where I balance my passion for bodywork and yoga with time spent hiking the trails of Arizona and beyond.
