Holistic Body Therapies

History

I have been practicing a multidisciplinary holistic approach to healing for over 25 years. I have gained clinical expertise in treating orthopedic injuries, postural problems, and movement disorders. My introduction to the form of therapy I practice today was a process shaped by working together with patients to increase their awareness of what worked in their lives and using that knowledge to increase their ability to heal themselves. I had a mainstream education in physical therapy, which I found very helpful for many of my patients' everyday problems. Yet there were always some people who did not respond to standardized treatments. It was these people who motivated me to realize I needed to learn more. My path is one of kindness. Once you are able to see your body as a source of healing rather than a source of pain, then your path to healing becomes joyful.

Specialties

I am often asked how light touch can be so effective when deep tissue work or manipulation hasn't worked. Light touch techniques and my verbal cues work together with your body to help get rid of stress and pain. When we work gently with the body, we foster a synergy between my training experience and your body's natural healing powers. Your body is more willing to accept the light touch for it feels supported to make changes instead of feeling pushed, which creates resistance. The most common techniques I employ are: The Alexander Technique Craniosacral Therapy Rubenfeld Synergy Method Accunect Which I use for you, alone or in combination, depends on your own desires, motivations and level of awareness.
