My clients are amazing women & men who come see me to optimize their physical & mental performance, deepen the relationship & awareness with their body & come back to their peaceful, authentic & vibrant center through empowering bodywork, healing touch & compassionate presence.
My practice of Soma Structural Integration (Rolfing tradition), Fascial Stretch Therapy, Cranial Sacral,
& Visceral-Osteo Deep Listening manual therapy gives me a powerful, effective & integrated approach to bodywork, health & healing.
Structural & deep tissue work, dynamic tractioned stretching, gentle & clarifying clientbody-guided nervous system & parasympathetic work create sessions my clients describe as deeply centering, uplifting & unifying. I listen & hold welcoming, attentive & collaborative space. Every session is unique, relaxation & function-focused & an empowering deep-dive into body bliss & awareness.
The way I work with the body is dynamic, conscious, unifying & very different than most LMT's. The foundation of my practice is the Soma Institute's 10-Session Structural Integration Series (I did not go to massage school but instead I trained from the start in 2009 in Structural Integration). Most people are familiar with the oldest and most well-known type of Structural Integration, called Rolfing, evolved by Ida Rolf. One of Ida Rolph's earliest students founded the Soma Institute - so I do similar type of bodywork to Rolfing - & I have evolved my own style over the years becoming best known for a highly therapeutic & relaxing four-sided structural massage.
My style of bodywork is fascial-oriented, performance & function-based - focused on somatic embodiment & nourishing the parasympathetic nervous system. My clients look, feel & move differently when they get off my table. Together we release chronic patterns & adhesions, re-educate & revitalize the body, creating more space, length & relaxation, energy, confidence & joy.
Clients who come in with pain, walk out without it (or walk out with significantly less if the injury is severe or situation is chronic). Clients who come in with discomfort or anxiety, leave with new mobility, energy & peace. Others experience quicker recovery time & better performance in their sport. Depending on the day you see me & what your body is telling me, we may work face up, face down, right side, left side, do abdominal & visceral work, do extended work at the neck & head, or focus simply on deep body meditation & relaxation. Clients can expect to leave my office feeling nurtured, profoundly relaxed, with a quiet, clear mind & a rejuvenated, fluid & aligned body that has more natural postural alignment & dynamic suspension.
