About Us
Our Owner: Wendy R. Cummings, PhD, LMT, CMLDT
“I believe the body is a bridge to heal the mind.”
My Mission
I founded Neuro Oasis to combine my scientific interest in somatic healing with my passion for using my hands to heal others. My massage table is a dedicated space to apply the benefits of therapeutic touch and co-regulation so that the Nervous System has what it needs to fully recharge. I believe that wellness is not just the absence of illness, but a state of optimum readiness to adapt to whatever comes next.
My Background
With over 2 decades of experience as a Forensic Scientist, I have a deep understanding of how secondary trauma can cause dysregulation of the Nervous System. My quest to find my own equilibrium has included a lifelong meditation practice and strong ties to my community and natural environment. My experience as a caregiver to a family member with Hypermobile Ehler’s-Danlos Syndrome inspired me to make a career change that would allow me to share what I have learned to benefit other people. Upon completing my Massage Therapy coursework at Montgomery County Community College, I immediately enrolled in HeartMath™ Resilient Heart Certification to better support clients who may be dealing with the burden of traumatic life experiences.
Areas of Focus:
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Chronic Illness and Pain
- Hypermobile Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome
