During the Summer of 1997 through 2002, Greg was a staff member at and consultant to Shake-A-Leg, an interdisciplinary rehabilitation program for people with spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders.
Greg’s movement education background includes certification as a postural alignment therapist with Egoscue University.

Greg is also an ordained Diamond Approach Teacher. The Diamond Approach is a path of spiritual inquiry and exploration. Greg has been a student of this path since 1996. By discovering the unconscious patterns that create your familiar sense of ego self, you reveal the deeper aspects of your essential nature such as real compassion, joy, strength, and peace.
