I’ve held a private bodywork practice for 26 years. I offer structural bodywork and somatic movement therapy with an emphasis on injury treatment and prevention through hands-on sessions and guided movement repatterning. I work primarily with muscular tension, skeletal alignment, and fascial tensegrity, and functional movement but also practices visceral manipulation, joint mobilization, craniosacral therapy, scar work, embodied anatomy.

You can now receive online virtual services with me using:

  • SourcePoint Energy Medicine

  • Rolf Movement Integration

  • TAG Method

I integrate movement reeducation within hands-on sessions and movement education, empowering clients with the skills to find their own pathways to healing.
