Integrative Bodywork
We all carry a remarkable kinesthetic map with an 'energetic' story to tell.
Your body retains a history of the events you've experienced, stored as an energy memory in your tissues and nervous system. These unconscious memories often create patterns of tension in the muscles, mind and emotions that may keep you in external patterns of reactivity and stress. When you bring your awareness while truly present in your body, you begin to change the pattern.
Every session, whether hands-on or remote, is an integrative session. Following are some of the approaches I've studied and practiced. I draw from all of them at different times, while inviting conscious breathing and healing imagery as needed.

Trager PsychoPhysical Integration
Asks the questions: What can be easier? How much more freely can we move, think and feel? By bringing the experience of effortless movement into the body we can let go and allow greater physical ease, meanwhile 'loosening up' mental and muscular holding patterns.
CranioSacral Unwinding
Serves to assess and gently release restrictions associated with the spine and central nervous system. This process can result in very deep relaxation with a sense of wholeness, well-being, and connection to your essential self: a state in which your deepest healing can occur.
Amanae Energetic Release
Using specific pressure points, this method is valuable to subtly wake up areas that stockpile emotional tension, allowing density and feelings of 'stuckness' to be discharged.
