Restoring wholeness and integrity
There is a fundamental and powerful integrity within our bodies; what we’re experiencing makes sense.
When our complexity is coherently coordinated we feel and function as a unified and robust whole.
I work with the body and mind to facilitate opening into new possibilities of performance and daily function.
“What we attend to is magnified in our experience.”
My work brings forward our innate biological integrity, untangling imbalances caused by a lifetime of accumulated stress and trauma that underlies physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms.
I employ my extensive experience, sensitivity and training to calm the physiology, directly through hands-on or intentional touch, or through conversational exploration, to meet you where you are and facilitate your movement into a more fluid and satisfying engagement with life.
