As a somatic therapist I see that the most powerful shifts for people tend to happen in groups.  I sense this is because many of the stuck patterns and traumas we find ourselves working through in our individual selves are at least as collective as they are personal.  We are social beings.  Group dynamics have the power to affect these patterns because we generate fields of energy and belief together—we co-create consensus about what is, and what is possible.  When this field is directed toward healing, there’s a tangible force of transformation that often results!

As a touch therapist I use touch as direct communication with another body.  While our minds may learn best through words and concepts, our bodies learn through physical experience.  I use my nervous system, energy system, and the movement knowledge my body has gained through 25 years of practice to teach your body new possibilities.  If my body can teach your body a way of being that makes an old pattern obsolete, your will heal in the learning.  Often this experience is as emotionally significant as it is physical.

We can get incredible benefit from touch therapies with our clothes on.  Because I engage so deeply with movement, I have worked with my clients clothed for over 10 years.  This is also true of how chiropractors, physical therapists, and osteopaths typically offer their touch-based therapies.

Movement is key in somatic healing.  I will guide you in movement, breath, and awareness practices and provide you the time and space to do them.  I will also teach you to use the Pilates reformer and spring wall to better align, strengthen, and connect your body.  I believe that somatic movement, bodywork, and Pilates is more powerful than gym workouts for developing a healthy relationship with your body—we work ‘in’ instead of working ‘out’.  Regular practice is essential.

Another tremendous benefit of working in a communal setting is price.  The cost of a session is only $33, or $25 if you buy a 10 pack..  I will begin by offering Community Clinic Mondays and Thursdays from 12-2pm.  You may book appointment times from 12-1:30p for the individual segment, yet may spent the entire 2 hours moving, breathing, and meditating in the studio if you like.  I will open more times as soon as these times fill–please let me know what works best for you.

Sessions consist of:

• 15 minutes of focused hands-on Myofascial, Craniosacral, and Somatic Movement Therapy.

You may recognize elements from Rolfing, Somatic Experiencing, Feldenkrais, or Alexander Techniques.  I am certified in Massage, Laban Movement Analysis, and Pilates.

• Shared use of the studio before/after your session

Includes the Pilates equipment (reformer and spring wall) once you know how to use it.

I suggest you budget about 45 minutes for your appointment.  You are welcome to stay for the entire 2-hour session if you like—come before and stay after your appointment time.

• Personal assistance and direction from me even when I’m primarily focused on others.

I will help you engage with movement, self-massage, breath, and meditation practices.

• Shared healing and learning through witnessing, discussions, and presence with others.

 You may find yourself in powerful (quiet) conversations with new and old friends!

You can have your first session for ½ off using the coupon code COMMUNITY.

I hope that with this structure I’ll be able to offer somatic therapy to more of you, more accessibly, and on a more regular basis.  I’d love to see you 2x/week!  I will continue to offer somatic therapies through my traditional 75 minute private sessions as well.
