She has integrated the above styles of therapies and created: Advanced Manual-Medicine - which is a detailed system for the treatment of chronic pain, stress and injuries as well as the maintenance of vital energy, health and stamina.

1977 Peggy began her professional career in Palm Beach, Florida where she had a private practice for over 7 years.  In 1984 she relocated to Denver, Colorado where she established her private practice and started her teaching career.

During her time in Denver, she co-founded and co-directed the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado from 1987 to 1992.  She developed a Colorado state certification program in Remedial Massage Therapy, where she was the main instructor.

In 1992, she sold her portion of the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado and created Advanced Manual Medicine, where she teaches advanced techniques to massage therapists and other professionals. She also was the helper for Dr. Fischer's Seminars, organizing and hosting his trainings until his death in 1998.

In 1998 Peggy relocated her primary residence and business to Negril, Jamaica, where she continued to specialize in the advanced manual therapies, with a private practice as well as offering a variety of unique educational opportunities for professional therapists who desire to upgrade and refine their hands on skills or individuals with a strong interest in the healing arts. In 2005, Peggy moved back to Denver, Colorado; resuming her therapy and teaching practices.
