Eddie Vogt  RMT, Cht

Born in the small Texas Hill Country of Boerne, Eddie grew up with a sense of community and a love of the surrounding countryside. Ranching and farming were part of the community, as was the independent attitude of the ancestors of the original German settlers. With any gathering, there was always the talk of crops, livestock and animals, and eventually to the health and welfare of the animals. Then would come the stories of how the early farmers would rely upon the moon-signs for planting, caring for and harvesting crops. Also was the discussions of home remedies, herbs and folk healing. Eddie saw for himself how the phases of the moon could influence livestock and how folk remedies could work even when modern medicines had failed.

Eddie continued his interest in herbs and alternative healing, and years later, after several other businesses and jobs, Eddie obtained his registration as a massage therapist. Since then he has advanced his knowledge in alternative healing by taking extra classes in various massage techniques, myofascial release, ONSEN technique, and hypnosis. He is especially proud of his technique of combining massage and hypnosis into what he calls "Hypnossage". A very relaxing procedure that leaves the client relaxed and refreshed both physically and mentally.
