But it is not enough to be intuitive, confident, and knowledgeable, the truly wise crone understands that she has a new role in life”

Su Bibik, The Massage Crone
I’ve been an educator since 1973, starting my professional career teaching math in high school and college until I got cured.
In the mid 1970s I started to practice massage and quickly added cranial sacral therapy to my repertoire. In 1986 I opened a wellness center with my husband and started teaching massage. In 1973 the school was state licensed and by the time I sold it 36 years later in 2022 had graduated over 750 massage therapists.
I have a CST practice a couple of days a week, swim and workout regularly, write, scuba dive as often as I can, and spend an inordinate amount of time watching basketball and baseball with my two grandsons, 9 and 7. Zipper is my grey long-haired cat who adores sleeping in high places and appearing on camera.
