Peter Thompson
Peter Thompson is an intuitive touch massage therapist whose path to massage came after saying “yes” to the unknown…. As a young man, children and home obligations in Wisconsin had him leave his college experience in order to provide for his family. His adult years found him supporting his wife and kids by working in the lumber industry learning the business first as a truck driver and ultimately as a successful residential designer and construction consultant. As a designer Peter used his talents and creativity to create beautiful spaces using symmetry and logic.
With the raising of his children complete, a unique longing began to pull Peter in new directions and in ways that he could not fully comprehend. With this disintegration came an opening into the spiritual realm of hands-on-healing through Reiki, Yoga and Native American ceremony.
Peter continued to follow the allurement of the spiritual realm and made a dramatic decision to leave all he knew: family, job, home, possessions and move to a spiritual retreat center near Charlottesville Virginia in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains As an apprentice to the Pathwork and the natural world Peter worked with meditation, group energy fields, core energetics and gestalt techniques to cement his severance from the world of corporate America. His year living in service provided a banquet of luscious spiritual alternative practices to feast on. It was during this time that Peter's life was enriched by meeting with Shamans, Sufis, Buddhists, body workers and other healers who further helped to widen his curiosity and spiritual knowledge.
After his sabbatical year, Peter left the Blue Ridge community and found his calling in Atlanta where he excelled at the Atlanta School of Massage.
He specializes in neuromuscular therapy, clinical sports massage, structural integration, ROM (range of motion), deep tissue and Swedish massage. His work is complimented by using reflexology and energy work.
Peter holds a deep belief in the power of massage as a healing modality. This belief shapes his practice as he is committed to understanding his client's needs to heal at a deeper level. Peter's combination of skill as a massage therapist and his intuitive ability to link client's pain to a deeper emotional connection allows Peter to create treatment experiences in alignment with the mind-body-spirit needs of clients. Peter is an avid practitioner of physical fitness and meditation. He enjoys sharing this passion with his clients.
