Heal through touch:

Heal chronic pain
With touch and presence that is attuned to your individual needs. Your body’s innate healing capacity can turn on with this support. The capacity of your nervous system can expand – you can experience greater pleasure AND withstand pain with more enjoyment and ease. What else is possible?

Modalities I practice
- Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy: Listening deeply to all systems in the body and energy field and allowing the inherent health to come forward. A light-touch non-invasive modality safe for all walks of life, from birth to death. Often combined with other forms of bodywork, possibly including massage, intuitive energy healing, and somatic coaching to regulate the nervous system and allow you to deepen further into health.
- Integrative bodywork: Nurturing, intuitive massage in a range of depths and and techniques to bring more flow, pleasure and ease to the body.
- Access Bars: Clearing the monkey mind by contacting points in the head to release stuck, inhibitory points of view.
- Intuitive energy healing: Intuitively connecting to the unseen world and following the energy, whatever is arising, to support the whole person, physically and energetically, with or without direct contact to the body.
- Somatic coaching: Suggestions and guidance in where to direct your attention and breath, to increase awareness and sensation in your body. Questions to discover what's underneath the pain or struggle. May be practiced with or without touch, in a bodywork session or on its own. Techniques utilized are drawn from Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, Polarity Therapy, Access Consciousness, authentic relating and intuitive inquiry.
- Polarity Therapy: Bodywork, energy healing and coaching for integrative, whole-person healing including the body, mind, emotions and spirit.
- Reflexology: Through the lens of Polarity Therapy, each toe corresponds to different emotions and energies in the body, and each area of the foot corresponds to different parts of the body. A form of massage and energy healing to support the whole person.

Other Healing Modalities
- Family Constellations: Gain clarity and heal through using objects or other people to intuitively represent people, emotions, institutions, aspects of your or your ancestors lives, and to create healing movements through these representations. A form of modern-day shamanism as my teacher Jack Blackwell says.
- Sex and Relationship Coaching: With techniques from Somatica Institute, Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, Polarity Therapy, Access Consciousness, authentic relating such as T Group and Circling, and intuitive inquiry.
- Practicing intimacy to bring more clarity about desires, intentions, needs and boundaries. Increasing the ability to be fully present with yourself while in relationship, to be more embodied, and to access what you most desire in relationships.
