Gwen Wendy Hammarstrom has been practicing massage and yoga for over thirty-five years and has given 15,000 + hours of hands on bodywork or classes in Philadelphia and Southern California.  Circles of Healing is a culmination of her experiences working with people with specific challenges, from parents of babies in NICUs, to a midlife woman caring for her dying mother, from a woman struggling with Torticollis, to a man still traumatized by the Vietnam War.   In addition to clients and students with more severe physical and mental challenges, the book encompasses the circle of life, from massaging pregnant women to healing touch for elders.  Self-care and wellness tips throughout and lots of resources with which to continue exploring and learning.
