Practicing Gratitude
November tends to bring up the notion of thankfulness and gratitude. Gratitude is a practice that we strive to incorporate into our everyday. Being able to help change the way our clients feel, see, interpret the world is an amazing gift. But above all, we are grateful for you.

We have amazing clients and students that allow us to share the Aston Paradigm to others who truly need it. We have an extensively talented group of Aston-Patterning practitioners that continue to "spread the word" about the work that give so many people their lives back. And we are truly grateful that our headquarters are in beautiful Lake Tahoe, where every season feels like a gift. 

As we reflect on what we're grateful for, consider every breath a chance to practice gratitude. 

Spotlight: Mark Barber, Aston-Patterning Practitioner and Senior Faculty Member, LMT

Mark Barber attended the University of Texas at Austin and Austin Community College and has been has been practicing Physical and Massage Therapy since 1984. His first 11 years of practice were at St. David’s Hospital, and he has been in private practice since 1995. Shortly after he began his career, he became interested in alternative healthcare disciplines, particularly in relation to musculoskeletal pain and structural biomechanics, because of the lack of results he was achieving with the traditional modalities of care.

In the mid to late 80’s through the early 90’s, he co-taught and assisted with continuing education classes with Hutchinson and Associates in Myofascial Release and Soft Tissue Mobilization. In 1992, Mark began studying Aston-Patterning® with its developer, Judith Aston, and became certified as an Aston-Patterning® practitioner in 1995.

That same year, Mark continued with the advanced Aston trainings in Arthro-Kinetics and in 1996, he began the Aston faculty trainings. He has been teaching Aston-Patterning® classes, both locally in Austin and around the country, since 2000. Mark’s therapeutic approach is eclectic with Aston-Patterning® at the heart of his sessions. Craniosacral Therapy® and the many other disciplines he has studied are integrated and modified with the Aston Principles to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients.
