Does it feel like nobody is helping you put the puzzle pieces together so you can see yourself better, understand what you need to feel whole? Our health care systems are poorly equipped to help us with multifaceted chronic conditions that don’t respond well to cookie cutter protocols. Maybe they’ve called it ME/Chronic Fatigue, IBS, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, MCS, TBI, DJD, migraine, anxiety, neuralgia, Fibromyalgia, …and maybe you have a history of trauma, neglect, depression, addiction…but the names and the treatments don’t quite fit and that’s not all you are.
What might your digestive disorder and back pain have to do with anxiety and insomnia? How can checking in with your body’s felt sense, relaxing focusing practices, diet and changes to your daily routine help fatigue, migraines, panic attacks and overall wellness? Why does cultivating present moment awareness help us heal from trauma and manage chronic pain?
I offer a unique multi-disciplined approach that looks at you as a whole person, that connects the dots, between your emotional/psychological experiences, habitual patterns, physical symptoms and the wise you underneath all that. My work has been continuously evolving for the past 38 years, integrating many somatic disciplines, neurobiology, trauma therapy models, mind-body, manual and movement therapies.
- We focus on regulating the nervous system, so your body can remember how to heal, how to feel what’s good.
- We discover the why, when and how of your adaptive survival behaviors from parts that are trying to protect you when they feel threatened. We work to cultivate a calm wise adult response when you’re emotionally triggered, so you can practice pausing and choose constructive over destructive behavior.
- We restore myofascial integrity, and support a natural and dynamic equilibrium between all your body’s systems
Your body holds your history. But you determine your future by being in the present
Here, the worlds of clinical mind/bodywork, holistic health, Somatic psychotherapy, trauma and parts work models, neurobiology, therapeutic movement, orthopedic manual therapy, physiotherapies, myofascial release, nutrition, Ayurvedic and Ecological medicine meet and seamlessly creatively interact.
You don’t have to do it alone…you don’t have the time, energy, expertise…but no one else can do it for you. Together we can develop a customized, personal approach to healing and find the way out of the vicious cycles so you can move forward less weighed down.
This is a creative, collaborative, in-the-moment body therapy, informed by current scientific thinking and ancient wisdom traditions.
Breathe free…Move free…Pain free
