Erin McMullin, BA, LMT #T4833
703-732-7093
mcmullin.erin@gmail.com
Erin is thrilled to be starting her practice through the Santa Fe School of Massage’s Graduate Clinic cooperative. She enjoys creating a personalized experience for every client, listening to tissue, and integrating therapeutic pressure with relaxing, nurturing flow. The best compliment her work has received so far is that her work is “better than Tiger Balm.” Erin holds a B.A. in Liberal Arts from St. John’s College, and graduated from the Santa Fe School of Massage’s 700 hour certification program in March 2012. She is currently continuing her massage therapy education with a 300 hour supplementary course in Holistic Clinical Massage. In a nod to her undergraduate degree, Erin has named her practice Sophrosune Massage Therapy – sophrosune being the classical Greek virtue of moderation, balance, and self-knowledge. Her intent for each session is to hold a space in which to awaken these qualities in her clients’ physical beings, and thereby, support the emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies of the receiver as well.
