Myomassology Education
Holistic health is a tradition in Irene's family. Building upon knowledge passed down from her father and grandmother, Irene began to formally study massage in the 1950's. Utilizing her natural born gift and years of experience, she developed myomassology as a comprehensive healing art. Myomassology provides the practitioner with a variety of skills to tailor to each client, allowing maximum healing to occur.

Irene began sharing her knowledge with students in the 1970's, and has been passionately teaching thousands of therapists ever since. She traveled the world offering master classes, forging a reputation as one of the foremost authorities on bodywork.


Our curriculum provides a holistic approach balancing body, mind and spirit. An Irene's education includes a multitude of techniques, modalities and information.
