Deborah Slater, LMT-
Background & Education 

I have been a professional massage therapist since 1990, receiving my training at Phoenix Therapeutic Massage College I also completed my first level of training in Jin Shin Jyutsu® in 1990, beginning my exploration of energy balancing and healing. During the first four years of practice I worked exclusively with osteopathic and chiropractic physicians and physical therapists, providing therapeutic massage and Jin Shin Jyutsu for people recovering from auto accidents and other traumatic injuries. In early 1994 I established my private practice as Back In Balance, keeping my business within a chiropractic setting for 11 years. I value the experience gained from consulting with other healthcare professionals and still receive patient referrals from them.  

Through the years I've studied and incorporated several other healing modalities and techniques into my work including: reflexology, cranio-sacral therapy, Reiki, and pregnancy massage. In 1998 I began the study and practice of medical Qigong, a Chinese form of exercise combined with mental focus that cultivates internal chi (life force energy). For the past two years I've led a weekly Qigong practice group.

In late 2004 I moved to my current office setting. The soothing sound of rushing water from the cascading waterfalls in the courtyard penetrates the therapy room and creates a serene ambiance of relaxation. In 2004 I taught Chinese acupressure at the Arizona School of Massage Therapy. I have also been regularly invited to be on a panel of four complementary healthcare providers, presenting an overview of various alternative therapies to nurses enrolled in post-graduate courses at Arizona State University. In August of 2005 I discovered Quantum Touch®. This healing method, from the very beginning has made a profound contribution to the effectiveness of my work. I rapidly absorbed all the training available and acquired the experience needed to become a certified practitioner and instructor.

Quantum Touch® has become a cornerstone of my practice and has inspired in me a passion to help bring this wonderful gift to the world. It brings me great satisfaction to help others discover their healing abilities. I envision a world where it is considered normal and necessary to employ the power of healing touch to sooth injury, ease emotional distress, and provide an opportunity for non-invasive healing of illness and disease.
