Ms. Benefield is a graduate of the International Christian University in Tokyo, the School for Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, and the Potomac Massage Training Institute, Washington DC where she currently is serving as a member of the Board of Directors. Since 1979, she worked in the area of US-Japan relations. After being injured and watching close friends face various stress related problems, Ms. Benefield pursued further education in learning how stress leads to injury and disease and how lifestyle modifications can prevent them. One method is therapeutic massage.


Ms. Benefield practices massage therapy and bodywork to balance her own life between management consulting work and the more grounded support she likes to provide to individuals through massage therapy. She uses Swedish, deep tissue, neuromuscular and lymphatic therapy massage methods as well as Reiki energy balancing to provide an intuitive bodywork experience which enhances wellness, improves physical activity, reduces stress, relieves pain and restores mobility of her clients.
