About

The body of every person I work with has a story to tell about what it needs to function better. As a manual therapist, I listen to the body and body tissues to give voice to these messages. In that listening process, I can support the body in waking up, moving better, and experiencing more vitality. I believe our bodies are tremendously powerful and can do much of their own healing when given the right support.

The work I do is a type of body-centered meditation inquiry.  This process organically empowers clients to feel their body deeply and connect to the parts of themselves that they isolate or push aside.  The process leaves clients with a feeling of deep wholeness, rightness, lightness, peacefulness, insight, and clarity.  In the space created by these moments, I believe folks can privately encounter the truth of their inner world and choices and feel available personal energy to make change.

I love the non-judgmental, freeing and trusting nature of the work.  It is not my job to “DO” something for the person.  They already have all the power within to effect change.  I assist them in experiencing a deeper sense of integration and wholeness and connecting to that latent internal energy through bodywork, movement, or meditation practices.  It’s non-verbal, and it spontaneously arises as a by-product of compassionate, mindful care.
