Price, Cynthia - PhD, MA, LMT

Dr. Price completed her massage therapy training in 1981 and was in private practice as a bodyworker until 2001. During this time she developed Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT) to facilitate body awareness, particularly for those who were experiencing disconnection from their bodies or experiential avoidance. In 1999, Cynthia sought doctoral training to research the MABT approach and graduated in 2004 with a PhD in Nursing Science. Her research over the past 20 years as a professor at the University of Washington has focused on MABT for improving physical and mental health and overall well-being.

Dr. Price';s clinical and research expertise is with people who are struggling with chronic pain and/or mental health concerns such as interpersonal trauma and addiction. Findings from research of this evidenced-based approach consistently show MABT to improve interoceptive awareness, emotion regulation, and symptoms of mental and physical distress. Dr. Price has over 20 years of experience teaching beginning and advanced students in this approach. She brings a balance of careful attention to therapeutic process, curiosity and humor to the classroom.

The next Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT) Level 1 Training begins April 10, 2025. Click HERE for details.
