What to Expect in a Session

Wear comfortable clothes for the duration of the session. The first session is 90 min with subsequent sessions 75 minutes. We start with relevant history, changes since last session, expectations and what you want for our time together. With your agreement to the approach of the session we typically begin laying face-up on the therapy (aka, massage) table. This is your session and consent is an important aspect to empowering the body and unlocking trapped health potentials.

Conditions including respect, choice and the body’s pacing. This builds trust allowing the body to settle when it's ready. Communication and working together is key.

Experience a different way to be with your body.

As your practitioner…

I know this work from being a client and student of it in my own life.

Many years of personal experience living out of connection to my body and being overly mental created the foundation where somatic work revolutionized my inner (and therefore outer) life while coming into greater health. It was the ideal setup for experiencing a more body-connected self while also being supported by others to learn and regain my own instinctual knowing. My body’s messages had been muted, quieted and its deepest sensory physiology injured.

Changes began to be noticed and felt. With the help of skilled and attuned practitioners, lifelong unhelpful (oh, so difficult) patterns began to resolve. The quality of my inner and outer life that emerged over time was something unexpected.

It is through personal experience that reclaiming our true selves through our body can be truly understood and the untapped health potential revealed. Only then is it possible to see, believe and trust that our body is not the enemy and our habits, symptoms, and patterns are simply the end result, not the root cause.

I can now reliably recognize and trust my body’s signals and messages. From there comes the unfolding of a different way of being in relationship to myself, others and a renewed connection to life.

It is the ease and lightness of living in connection with our full body and being that I wish for you.
