Helping you find Healing, Joy,and Authenticity
through greater awareness
of your body's intelligence.

Your body is an amazing reservoir of knowledge, memory, and wisdom. Unfortunately, much of this information gets buried in order to survive emotionally and function in the modern world. Somatic therapy provides a way to safely bring this intelligence to the surface, where it can be recognized and consciously embraced. Reclaiming this vital self-knowledge opens the door to a much more fulfilling life.

I specialize in Transformational Bodywork, which facilitates emotional healing through touch, dialogue, and body awareness. Clients gain powerful tools for breaking out of unhealthy patterns such as anxiety, addiction, depression, or interpersonal conflict. Many clients do this work in conjunction with psychotherapy.

Transformational Bodywork incorporates an array of somatic therapies, from simple relaxation massage to acupressure, energy work, myofascial release, and craniosacral therapy. The purpose of all these Types of Bodywork is to release the stress and tension that restrict the natural flow of energy and health in the body and mind.

Transformational Bodywork further enhances these touch therapies by teaching you how to dialogue with your body so that you understand what your emotions are telling you, and why they are so vitally important to your well-being.

In addition to individual bodywork sessions, I also co-facilitate a number of Body-Centered Therapy Groups which incorporate the strengths of Transformational Bodywork into a talk therapy format. Participants find that their ability to shift into greater authenticity and empowerment is greatly enhanced by the support and mirroring of the others in the group.
