Speakers
Irvin Eisenberg, MOT
My interest in the body and health started in college where I studied dance and choreography at Bard College. My interest deepened with training in the Barbara Brennan healing science and my introduction to Reiki.
While I love dance and the human form I had very little talent for dance and exhibited poor rhythm. As a result, I left college to go to massage school. In time, I graduated from the 1000-hour Finger Lakes School of Massage program in 2007 and continued my personal studies.
I became fascinated with connective tissue (fascia) and studied under a Rolfer ® for 2 years before attending Tom Myers’ program Anatomy Trains Structural Integration ®.
After graduating I continued to study with various students of Dr. Ida P Rolf. But I wanted to meet more of my client’s needs, and went back to school (Utica College) to complete my BS and get a 69 credit MS in Occupational Therapy.
Since graduating in 2018, with my broader skillsets and the ability to accept insurance as payment, I’ve been able to help an ever-growing number of people in Central Vermont.
I am continually fascinated with the human body and am currently studying the neuroscience of pain to help prevent and reduce chronic pain.
I currently enjoy hiking, dodgeball, and “doing circus tricks” with my 5-year-old.
