Hands on Healing from the Heart

There are few joys in life equal to finding a vocation that is a perfect match for one’s passion, temperament, and aptitudes. I’ve practiced manual therapy for more than 30 years in a variety of settings, from an outpatient orthopedic physical therapy clinic to a community focused yoga studio. My keen interest in the life sciences paired with my tendency to work best in a quiet environment with just one client at a time has made my massage therapy practice the bedrock of my life. I am grateful that I found a career that supports my neurodiverse traits; helping other people feel whole and healthy continues to support my own healing.

CC Hart Hands - CC Hart — I love the hands on nature of my work

Carolyn CC Hart

I'm a neurodiversity advocate, an artist, an author, and a licensed massage therapist. My senses are intertwined via synaesthesia, a neurocognitive difference, which informs my writing, my visual art, my costume design, and my long career in manual therapy. I am continuing to learn how my divergent brain creates both opportunities and obstacles, and I support the argument that neurodiverse traits are not necessarily pathologies, but represent part of the spectrum of human somatosensory, intellectual, and cognitive experience. I support Judy Singer's theories of neurodiversity which include the concept that just as conserving biodiversity is necessary for a sustainable, flourishing planet, so respecting neurodiversity is necessary for a sustainable, flourishing human society. I am a founding member of the International Association of Synaesthetes, Artists, and Scientists, where I serve as the IASAS secretary. I've practiced therapeutic massage for more than 30 years, and feel that my sensory sensitivities have helped me thrive in my hands-on career.
