Pamper Parties....your spa day at home!

Tao Massage w/Asha was founded in 1999 and has a vision of creating a massage experience that would heal body, mind, and spirit.  Tao Massage w/Asha promotes truth and the principle of "know thy self" through what can be felt within the inner non-physical body.

Asha Brewer, LMT
Asha has been a state licensed massage therapist for over eleven years. She graduated from The Chicago School of Massage Therapy. This intensive program demands over 650 hours of hands on practice and advanced anatomy and physiology before certification is granted.   Asha has over 9000 hours of actual hands-on experience.  She has clients in Chicago, Indiana, Michigan and Rockford.  She has continued her education by studying medical massage, medications and massage therapy, yoga, meditation, ethics, Reiki, Reflexology, Craniosacral Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Science of Mind, Psychology and Acupressure.  She is currently preparing for the massage therapy National Certification Exam.  In 2010, she will also complete her study of the "Focusing Technique" which is a technique of self therapy that teaches you to identify and change the way your personal problems concretely exist in your body.  This technique is a powerful healing tool for anyone wanting a clearer understanding of themselves through an actual "felt" experience. This technique was created by Dr. Eugene Gendlin, formally a professor at the University of Chicago.  Asha's life was greatly transformed from her very first experience of this technique six years ago.

Asha is a proud supporter of Project Vida, a not-for-profit organization, where she received honors for her work with nurturing touch for African-Americans and Latinos who suffer from long term illness.  She is also a member of the Power Of Oneness Spiritual Center in Hyde Park, Chicago.

Asha became interested in the ancient Chinese wisdom of the Tao Te Ching (pronounced "dow-teh-ching") in 2004.  She prefers the intuitive "pathless path" as her guide for serving truth.  "The attitude of Tao is of cooperation, not conflict.  The attitude of Tao is of great inner relaxation."  She practices three to four hours of meditation a day and enjoys volunteering in her spare time.

Asha enjoys sky diving, meditation, studying quantum physics, dancing, gourmet cooking, science fiction movies, spending time with friends, camping, listening to Eckhart Tolle and Adyashanti teachings and sharing Dharma and Zen podcasts with her sisters Lisa and Lynn.  She is grateful for the many wonderful friends who are as open and courageous about the spiritual journey as she is.
