Clients commonly come to me for support with…

  • Complex and interconnected issues that would benefit from being seen as a whole, instead of (or in addition to) by several specialists.

  • Understanding the body-mind connection through experience. In our work together we integrate "top down" (cognitive) processing with "bottom up" (sensation and movement-based) processing. 

  • Pain in any area of the body (including musculoskeletal, headache, and digestive system pain).

  • Injury recovery, whether recent or old/chronic.

  • Reclaiming mobility, flexibility, and strength, especially as we get older.

  • Addressing mental health issues related to nervous-system dysregulation including high-activation states like stress, anxiety, and overwhelm and low-activation states like feeling frozen, depressed, or numb.

  • Connect with and feel more vulnerable states and emotions to build self-compassion and digest and process challenging experiences. 

  • Trauma-informed bodywork for those who might be triggered by touch or want to feel safer in their bodies. 

    • Relief from symptoms of developmental trauma-- old patterns of feeling unsafe developed in infancy and childhood.

  • A deep reset from chronic or acute stressors like

    • Transitions - Losses and changes in relationships, career, parenting, health status, etc.

    • The stress of modern life - Overstimulation, ecological crisis, social injustice, etc. 

  • Somatic education to understand the “why” and “how” of your embodied experience.

  • Learn to notice and release tension as it arises instead of unconsciously carrying it, as well as to identify thinking patterns and situations that trigger tension.

  • A more positive "body-image" through learning to live with love and presence from the inside instead of through external judgements. 

  • Developing a holistic wellness plan which may include referrals to allied providers and self-care at home.

  • Save money and time by doing truly holistic work that often reduces the need for other appointments and investments in your health.

  • ENJOY being embodied instead of your body being an inconvenience or problem.

  • Preparation and integration for experiences with psychedelics/entheogens.

  • Experiencing states of deep peace and relaxation.

  • Building the capacity to:

    • Find more clarity about how you feel, you boundaries, and what you want,.  

    • Move towards what you want with effectiveness.  

    • Enjoy the nourishment that life has to offer.  

    • Rest, recuperate, and let things be as they are.

  • Cultivating more positive moods and feelings over time.
