Debbie Milkes, BA, NCMT
Pain Neutralization Technique (PNT), Nationally Certified Massage Therapist (NCMT), Lymphatic Drainage Therapist, Certified Trauma Touch Therapist (TTT)
Debbie graduated in 2000 from the the Colorado School of Healing Arts Massage Therapy Program (680 hours), after working in the computer field for 13 years (https://www.linkedin.com/in/debbie-milkes-56aab163/). In addition to her core massage therapy education, Debbie also completed a 100 hour massage therapy internship at Swedish Hospital and an additional 100 hours of advanced training in Trauma Touch Therapy TM.
2023 - Over 25 hours of advanced training in the Pain Neutralization Technique (PNT)
November 2018 - Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM) certification.
October 2013 and 2017 - Debbie received intensive training in the pain elimination technique called PNTTM. PNT stands for Pain Neutralization Technique and was developed by Dr. Stephen Kaufman of Denver, CO. Click on "Pain Elimination" on the side bar for more information. She uses this technique to resolve pain on a daily basis and therefore, may have more experience using PNT than any other practitioner in the Denver area (other than Dr. Kaufman).
Debbie is proud of the fact that she receives client referrals from several different physical therapy organizations and local MD's and PA's.
Specialties even though Debbie has learned many massage therapy techniques over the years, she no longer offers massage therapy, as of June 2023. Due to the large number of people living with pain and the effectiveness of the Pain Neutralization Technique (PNT) to often resolve that pain, her practice is now limited to PNT, Lymphatic Drainage, Trauma Touch Therapy and Kinesiology taping.
Other Education - Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Colorado Christian University, 1992; Computer Programming Certificate from Minnesota School of Business, 1983. Debbie became Nationally certified in March 2013, license 0014802.
Personal History
Debbie chose a career in massage therapy because she enjoys helping people and was fascinated by its positive physical and emotional effects in her own life.
She experienced the benefits of massage while working at a stressful job as a computer network engineer for many years. "Massage helped me to relax and brought about a body/mind awareness that helped me to manage that stress."
Debbie said she experienced the healing results of therapeutic massage from a whiplash injury she suffered in 1996, and carpal tunnel and TMJ she developed during her computer career.
When not working, Debbie enjoys working out, playing pickleball, Tai Chi, Pilates, biking, hiking, volunteering and spending time with family and friends. Debbie can be reached at debbiemilkes@gmail.com or 303-946-5266.
