Gregg Hill’s Biography

Gregg Hill in his office in Houston, TX Gregg is one of the highest certified Bodyworkers in the United States. I have spent ten of my twelve years in Bodywork studying with Shogo Mochizuki. Shogo’s family is one of 3 in Japan that is in the medical archives in Japan. His family has been doing bodywork for 240 years! Gregg has also studied with many other teachers in Asian Bodywork. Gregg has studied Thai massage from Saul David Raye in Los Angeles, Winnie Cain in Scottsdale, AZ. & Blake Martin who teaches Kam Thye Chow from Canada. My resume is the result of my current job with DuPont, which requires me to work 3 to 4 12 hour shifts. In my free time I operate Gregg Hill’s Japanese Massage & Asian Bodywork in Houston, Texas by myself. I gross on average $ 45 K a year. Last year I was away to seminars for 51 days. I reinvested $36K by going to seminars & buying educational tools. For my clients, I bring back some new ideas I work with in my office; so ultimately, when they pay me, their money comes back to them. I've learned a lot from the western Bodyworkers that I have studied with and do use some of their techniques. I find the Asian system to be much more efficient. A popular thought is to conserve energy, but the truth is the more energy you use the more is given to you. Another idea is that a Therapist needs time to get "centered." my question is what are they doing for the other 23 hours in a day! I can work all day, My body doesn't hurt. I can be as "soft" or as "deep" as I need to be. If you go into the ocean to ride the waves, you can either ride them or get knocked around and eat sand. The Asian techniques are so old, they will show you how to use them if you are aware while you are doing your session.

Gregg, standing by his Certifications display in his office. I have been involved with classical Yoga for 27 years. Many of the biggest Yoga practitioners are now getting hip or knee replacements. There are many students in Yoga classes today that are hurt. I want to use my Bodywork experience to give seminars so people can enjoy their Yoga. Yoga is much more than exercise; it is a way of life that promotes hard work on yourself so you can be a better person.

I was told in 1980 by Swami Vishnudevananda “Serve those in front of you one at a time.” He also said, “It will take you 30-40 years to hear what I (Swami Vishnudevananda) am telling you.” It has been 26 years and I have seen a lot. The techniques I teach have been perfected in Asia and in my practice I use western techniques such as Tom Myers, who is an expert teacher and Rolfer. I want results so the client is satisfied.

A favorite quote from the Indian Scripture’s is: "The daughter of EXPERTISE is COMPASSION and the daughter of COMPASSION is FEARLESSNESS". Everybody has something to give or teach the world - mine is the above.
