--Lia Pardy, my Thai Massage teacher, for graciously passing on her knowledge of movement and touch, and for her continual role as mentor and friend.

--Shala Worsley, director of the Asheville School of Massage & Yoga and Yin Yoga teacher, for her flow, tact, and ability to integrate the internal and external.

--Steve Capps, my Charlotte acupuncturist, for teaching me about energy and the body's inner world.
