About Hamid
Hamid Shibata Bennett, LMT, CAMTII (OBMT #301) is a licensed massage therapist and myofascial bodyworker with a Level II certfication in Advanced Myofascial Techniques through Advanced-Trainings.com and has numerous other trainings, including myofascial release (MFR), craniosacral, oncology massage, deep tissue, trigger point, neuromuscular therapy, structural reflexology, inter-oral bodywork, energy work, and more. He blends his additional experiences in the Sufi healing arts, meditation, and sound therapy into unique sessions, designed to unlock the potential for healing held within the human body.
Hamid is also a multi-instrumental musician, singer, recording artist, sound therapist, writer, published photographer, educator, and rare cancer survivor. He has crafted his life to bring a little hope to folks.
His history of cancer goes back to the atomic bomb. His father, an Air Force fighter pilot in World War II, witnessed one of the atomic bomb blast tests in his thirty year career. That's a flash of light that has followed the family ever since.
Hamid was born in Tachikawa, Japan in 1973 and has lived in Oregon since 1976. His mother was Japanese, with Samurai in her lineage. His father was a small-prop fighter pilot in World War II (his favorite was always the P-51 Mustang), then later was in communications and cryptology with top secret clearance. Hamid's uncles on his father's side were all career military, fighting in World War II, in various branches of the military; they all saw action and they all came home.
In 1991, the year of the Gulf War, after six months of stumping the doctors, Hamid was diagnosed with a rare lymphoma. There were nine documented cases before him. He was the first to live beyond six years.
Hamid has been a student of the human body since 1999, when he started massage school. Early in his career, the myofascial network of the human body became a study of fascination. Hamid brings a modernized approach to the haptic language of massage therapy. His bodywork nurtures awareness with structural listening touch, creative movement, stillness, presence, and mutual intention. The experience is a dialogue of awareness, of letting go... a guided somatic meditation. He has been in private practice since 2002.
