Summer Price
My name is Summer Frances Price C.M.T. I graduated from Dove Star Holistic School for Practioners, in February 2002. I went to school in Plymouth, Ma. close to my home of Cape Cod. In school I was most drawn to Deep tissue massage, Neuromuscular, Shiatsu, hot stone and Acupressure classes. My school opened in the sixties and has its roots in energy work such as reiki, chakra work and hypnotism. Although some classes were mandatory I tried to keep away from anything that in my mind seemed mystical.
Marybeth is known for helping her clients to "befriend their body." She has a deep trust and belief in the body's infinite wisdom and ability to heal.
She started her journey in the field of mind-body healing when she moved to Vermont in 2001. Having already completed a BA in Clinical Psychology, she was introduced to Rubenfeld Synergy through a serendipitous encounter with a local practitioner of the method. After her own experience with this work, Marybeth immediately noticed the benefits of this kind of gentle and safe self-exploration and its subsequent positive effect in her life. In 2003, she began a 4-year, 1608-hour intensive training program and became a Certified Rubenfeld Synergist in the Winter of 2007. Marybeth is currently involved in a teacher-training to become a Certified Rubenfeld Synergy Mentor.
Valuing the importance of the unique experience of all individuals, Marybeth enjoys the process of guiding her clients to learn what they have "stored" in their body and supporting them to find space to live a fulfilling life. In her free time, Marybeth enjoys a regular yoga practice, the great outdoors, music, and the arts.
Michele Rubino
Michele discovered her passion for bodywork over 16 years ago during her first yoga class. While living and working at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies she completed her first yoga teacher training with Don and Amba Stapleton, who developed the initial teacher training program at the Kripalu Yoga Center. After 5 years at Omega, Michele moved to Brattleboro and did additional teacher training with Eileen Muir at the Karuna Center for Yoga and Healing Arts in Northampton, MA.
During a yoga retreat at the Sivananda Ashram, Michele gained certification in Thai Yoga Massage from Kam Thye Chow of the Lotus Palm School of Thai Yoga Massage. To increase her knowledge base and skills in massage therapy she pursued in-depth study at the Cortiva Institute, Pennsylvania School of Massage Therapy near Philadelphia. Michele graduated with honors and is a Licensed Massage Therapist.
Having enjoyed the many benefits of yoga, Michele loves teaching as well as combining her experience and knowledge of yoga, massage therapy, anatomy and physiology, and Ayurveda in the beautiful art of Thai Yoga Massage.
Michele believes our bodies continually strive for balance and have the amazing intelligence and capability to return us to wellness time and time again. Massage therapy and yoga are two very beneficial ways that can help your body heal itself.

In school I was most drawn to Deep tissue massage, Neuromuscular, Shiatsu, hot stone and Acupressure classes. My school opened in the sixties and has its roots in energy work such as reiki, chakra work and hypnotism. Although some classes were mandatory I tried to keep away from anything that in my mind seemed mystical. Fortunately there were alot of energy work classes that came from the east and were more palatable to me, such as Chi Kung. At the time of graduation from a five hundred hour program, I had dabbled in many modalities. Although at the time I considered the founders of my school to be mystical to a fault; I have grown to be forever grateful to them. I graduated as a "Kriya" practioner. Kriya is a sanskrit word that means dance, flow. I consider massage to be a form of art. I now have six hundred hours toward a 1000 hour Kriya program. My current and upcoming studies include reflexology, Ayurveda, and nutrition and fitness. After working eight years in this field I am ready to devote myself to the continuation of my study. I am working on a customized page with a more detailed description of the history of Able Body business now on its 15th year! I reside in Dummerston with my husband Benjamin and my daughter Eliza. We are very blessed!!! Update: on Jan 9th I took the National exam for massage therapy and passed. I waited many years after getting out of school which I do not recommend. It is not required in the state of Vermont but is required in 35 other states. It is a formidable exam and a worthwhile creditial to have. Thanks for visiting this site.
