Bodywork

Bodywork is a general term for body-centered therapeutic or healing modalities. As a term, it catches a great many ideas in its net. I have embraced, studied, and practiced the following approaches, and though I bring all of my training into every session I give, your intention guides how much of each I offer to you in your session. Your choice of what kind of session to book helps me to know what that intention is.

Massage is a good choice for maintaining a nurturing relationship with your body. Choose massage for reducing stress, treating general aches and pains, and recovering from strenuous workouts. Massage is also an appropriate choice if you are dealing with a short-term problem like tendonitis or whiplash.

Structural Integration and Rolf Movement give us a chance to methodically explore where the relationship of body and self might be stuck. If you have chronic pain or discomfort, this series-based inquiry may give you better insight into how to care for yourself as a physical being in the pull of Earth’s gravity.

Somatic Experiencing takes on the task of embodiment. Here we allow the felt sense to lead us into right relationship with self. Gentle attention is paid to those places in the body where loops of old stress-response programs play havoc with our sense of well-being, and the natural rhythms of human experience are restored.
