Peter Schaefer

Peter Schaefer uses massage and Reiki to clear blocked energy centers and facilitate the smooth and harmonious flow of energy throughout the entire body. "I think massage brings awareness of oneself on a cellular level," he says. Guided by this philosophy, Peter works with clients to nurture the body's natural healing energy.
