AWARENESS + BODYWORK
​
I offer somatic bodywork that incorporates therapeutic massage techniques with awareness skills drawing mainly from The Hakomi Method.
​
I offer a combination of connective tissue bodywork and craniosacral therapy to tune in with your nervous system, create a state of relaxation and release, and work with the tissue to relieve muscle tension and fascial adhesions.
​
Throughout this process, I also use mindfulness-based therapeutic skills to facilitate a re-patterning of the mind-body connection that often perpetuates chronic pain and discomfort.
THERAPEUTIC BODYWORK
My therapeutic bodywork is an integration of relaxation massage, interoceptive structural integration, connective tissue therapy, and neuro-muscular therapy.
It is a slow moving, deeply connected touch that works at the unique depth your tissue needs to find ease and mobility.
CRANIOSACRAL​
Craniosacral therapy is a very gentle, subtle therapy that releases tension deep in the body through harmonizing with your own natural rhythm in the central nervous system.
It restores and balances the nervous system while releasing the effects of stress, injury, and trauma.
​
AWARENESS
​
I incorporate mindfulness and awareness tools to help you notice and deepen into your experience as it arises in the present moment.
​
These skills draw from The Hakomi Method, Reiki, and somatic attunement.
​
I do not provide psychotherapy nor counseling in my bodywork sessions, but rather, verbal cues to enhance your awareness of the mind-body connection to help re-pattern ways the body has become accustomed to holding.
