Free Massage Winner!

Today was the day of the drawing I advertised in my October mailing– one lucky client from my (1500-person!) database would be drawn from a hat and win a 90-minute massage. The only catch was that I needed an email address to inform the winner with, so I pulled about five or six names before [...]

More on Vulnerability

A friend pointed me to this excellent Ted Talk by Brene Brown. Apparently, I’m not alone in my struggle with vulnerability, and the data shows it’s good for us. Enjoy!

Old Wounds, New Progress

I had a great experience today in my own “healing process”. I have been recently moved to tackle (again) a tricky knee I’ve been struggling with since about the age of 13 or 14. For the past year or so it has kept me from riding my bike and doing my yoga, as both activities [...]

Now accepting Credit Cards

Smartphone technology just made taking your credit cards financially reasonable, so I downloaded the app, created an account, and am now able to accept most major credit cards in person, as well as via PayPal.

S.I. Client Handbook, circa 1997

This PDF is the Client Handbook I wrote while completing basic training at the Guild for Structural Integration. It’s very thorough in its explanation of the process, and very earnest in tone. The file had to be broken into two pieces because it was BIG: Client Handbook Part 1 Client Handbook Part 2 Enjoy!

Of Grace and Gravity

This is exciting (for a bodywork geek, anyway). Bruce Kubert is producing a film about Ida Rolf’s gift to us, interviewing all of the old-timers and pulling their collective wisdom into one clear message about what is possible for us as human beings willing to risk change. Here is a nice long clip that should [...]
