Reviews and Testimonials
Reviewed by Lisa Mertz in Massage Therapy Journal, Spring, 2003
This new edition of Deep Tissue Sculpting, a how-to manual for cultivating consciousness, self-care and client connection-is very much up-to-date in providing a richly textured and uncomplicated mind/body perspective. Osborne-Sheets continues to make an important contribution to the massage therapy profession.
Reviewed by Charlotte Michael Versagi in Massage Magazine, Spring 2003
