Insight
We first assess and discuss what the potential drivers of somatic pain may be
treatment
Together we will work with your body's unique needs and most appropriate methods of intervention
jumpstart
Start your body's natural healing processes by working hands-on with the myofascia, the central nervous system, and consciousness
dialogue
We will always be in dialogue of what is best for you as your body begins to heal, change, and balance
My practice
Private bodywork sessions can range widely from deep listening in stillness to very dynamic movement during hands-on application. We can work together to find the most effective and helpful way to work with your specific needs.
You will always be involved in some way. Working together during hands-on techniques or effective movements, our session together can help relieve stress and pain throughout the body, create a deeper sense of balance, and can assist you in becoming a more comfortable human being.
Modalities
I utilize an integrated approach to Manual Therapy. Several modalities have influenced my work:
Awareness Oriented Structural Integration is a 10-session, non-symptom specific protocol. Think of it as a series of goals to help Your body return to balance with gravity through conscious engagement. In doing so ailments may fall away and what's left is a more integrated and comfortable human.
Visionary Craniosacral Work, as the name suggests, is hands-on work mainly with the cranium and sacrum, however the whole mind-body and spirit is always taken into account. Light pressure at significant craniometric locations allows a deeper sensing and releasing of chronically held tissues and can facilitate drastic change with minimal invasiveness.
Neural Manipulation, facilitates free movement of the nerves in their surroundings; that is, in relation to adjacent muscles, fascia, narrow passages in the aponeurosis, organs and bones. A nerve only functions optimally when it is able to move freely in its surrounding tissues. Precise manual therapy developed through the clinical work of world-renowned French Osteopath and PT Jean-Pierre Barral.
Visceral Manipulation, manual therapy that focuses on the internal organs, their environment, and the potential influence on many structural and physiological dysfunctions. The purpose of VM is to re-create, harmonize, and increase proprioceptive communication in the body to enhance its internal mechanism for better health. VM treats a person's functional and structural imbalances with an aim to affect their musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive, and lymphatic dysfunction.
The John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach is something of both MFR and Craniosacral therapy. Nothing is forced as we are working throughout the body. This gentle work suggests, as I have come to believe and understand, change comes from within. All we need is a safe space to engage on this deeper level.
