In-person Hands-on Sessions

A Comprehensive Assessment

Lasting results begin by getting to the root of the problem, and I’ll get as much information as I can about what’s challenging for you before we meet:
-   Past injuries and health challenges
-   Recent demands on the body, including exercise practices, work-station issues, the physical demands of parenting, recent “overuse“ stresses, etc.; and 
-   Recent + ongoing life-stress factors that may be contributing to your physical challenges.
Once we’re together, I’ll look at you walking, standing, sitting and moving to get a thorough sense of your body’s tension patterns, and I’ll tell you what I’m seeing in a way that will support your work outside of sessions to find greater comfort and ease for yourself.

Expert Bodywork Care

More than just a set of techniques, a session is a kind of improvisational dialogue as I work with you to bring openness and relief to areas of restriction and discomfort, using a synergistic blend of the elements that are listed here on the home page - including, when appropriate, work inside the mouth, which I’ve taught to other practitioners and have practiced for more than 20 years.

Supportive Counselling/Coaching

The most important ingredient in your healing formula is YOU and the choices you make for your own self-care. I’ll help you expand your sense of those choices through:

- Supportive dialogue, integrating bodymind techniques listed on the home page
- Clear explanations of the anatomical basis of your pain and tension patterns
- Recommendations of stretches, strengthening exercises and self-care practices, in person and on recorded video sessions
- Referrals, when appropriate, to other healing arts practitioners.
