My Work Is hands-on and specific to each individual client's needs. I combine integrative Bodywork and free-form Movement "exercises" in an ongoing program to address your needs for change and development.
My work emphasizes the positive and the possible. Learn how the natural rhythm of your body's weight and structure can help you rediscover ease, comfort fluidity of movement and freedom from restriction
Functional Integrity
Hands-on Bodywork & Movement search out & affirm the 'yes response....
Light, easy movement & a refined quality of touch-explore-what is working? Now, what could be better...?
Notice and register the sensation of improved functions: "it can feel like this"
Integrate this awareness into daily activity
The method is invitational, learning by positive experience: searching out comfort, supporting existing ability, initiating improvement and function, increasing ease & range of movement, and the potential for health and well-being. Results can be transformative, the benefits long lasting.
