Paula Tate was born and raised in New Hampshire. For as long back as she remembers, she was interested in how the body worked and what made the body have illness. At 12 she was reading books on nutrition and wondering why people got sick. When she was 21, she wanted to become stronger and healthier so she learned about and became a natural bodybuilder and competed in Natural Body Building Shows for the next 10 years. She learned about nutrition and what the best combinations of food were for building strength and muscles and keeping the body fat low through diet and cardiovascular fitness. She held many bodybuilding titles.

At 28 she was introduced to NH Institute for Therapeutic Arts, hadn’t had a massage in her life, but loved to learn so much about the body, decided to take the massage course to learn how to give a great massage!

This was a four year program.

Susan Giusto

Susan Giusto is a certified Sound Specialist who uses sound in a variety of therapeutic applications to help people reduce stress, gain focus and manage pain.

Susan has lived in New Hampshire since 1990 originally coming here for the jobs that technology offered. Her focus with computers has always been how to make the experience better for the person using them. She would do this through graphic design and a focus on usability needs for the products she developed. It was while working in the high tech industry that she realized the needs for people to be able to relax from the high pressure and repetitive stress injuries that occurred from long days in front of the computer.

Being a musician and a student of Tai Chi for over thirty years, Susan found herself studying the clinical benefits of using sound as a therapy to help reduce stress, manage pain and increase focus. She became certified in using the Solfeggio scale tuning forks in addition to Tibetan bowls to aid people in finding a little peace in their day by clearing out and retuning the body to a more balanced resonate frequency.

As she builds up her practice she will be increasing her range of applicable frequencies through additional training and certification specialization.

When Susan isn't busy helping people she enjoys working on her bonsai trees and gardens, road rallying in her Miata, dancing in any style from belly dancing to zydeco, traveling around to experience the wonder of beaches, forests, architecture and culture, cooking gourmet spa cuisine, and just relaxing by the fire with her Maine Coon kitties.
