My healing philosophy:
True healing is not a return to the old normal. It is the transformation into a new being entirely. Realizing the necessity to let go of what once was and finding the new improved "me" that has let go of all that is no longer needed. The metamorphosis of the catapilar into the butterfly...
Your individual needs come first. Every body is different and thus every body needs personalized care. Each session is new and designed for the day, the moment, for you with the long term goal of improving your overall health and wellbeing and ensuring effective healing pathways are established and maintained. I draw from my vast experience with countless modalities to chose what is best for you on any given day. That could be relaxing work including breathing exercises, therapeutic bodywork, movement work or movement suggestions or craniosacral work. Many modalities overlap and flow naturally into each other for best results. Allow the healing to begin...
My Offerings
Chose one of my therapeutic and preventative services for your unique wellness journey or combine them as needed.
Each service option provides a pathway to enhance physical health and emotional balance. Modalities also can be combined to enhance each other. For example CranioSacral Therapy goes very well with most other bodywork options. For Surgery, Injury or physical recovery from accidents, pregnancy and serious dis-ease, I recommend bodywork with specialized movement sessions to recover faster and possibly better than before.
Movement Therapy
Movement therapy sessions help you to reconnect with your bodies, enhancing flexibility, strength, and overall wellness. Specific exercises and movements, as well as postural adjustments help with the recovery from accidents, injuries and surgeries. Improved balance and mobility give you the best condition to thrive. My movement teaching draws from my life long experience as a competitive athlete, martial arts, yoga and pilates, as well as my experience in personal training and physical therapy.
Bodywork
This service encompasses one or a combination of bodywork techniques and modalities aimed at relieving tension and promoting pain relief, deep relaxation and healing of dysfunction, injuries, scar tissue and emotional memory within the body. All sessions draw from the many modalities I have studied over the last 26 years and the experience I have gained during that time (and still learning): Modalities include Thai, Tui Na, Reflexology, Lomi Lomi, Lymphatic Drainage, Myofacial Release, CranioSacral and more.
Upledger CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a unique approach to healing formulated by John Upledger in his life's work. It builds on the palpable rhythem of the entire cranyosacral system and aims to balance it and thus restore balance in all systems of the body, physical, emotional and can be even spiritual. The results range from deep relaxation to truly miraculous emotional release and much in-between. CST is gentle and thus indicated for most health conditions and age groups. CST is a beautiful stand alone but also a powerful add-on to any bodywork session.
