Massage Therapy
I offer a distinctive method of integrative bodywork that combines traditional swedish massage techniques with eastern bodywork, energy balancing, and mindfulness practice to increase somatic awareness, promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. sessions are 60 or 90 minutes.
Somatic Coaching
Through purposeful dialog, guided mindfulness practices, movement, and intuitive touch, somatic coaching helps you explore and transform patterns of behavior, fostering greater self-awareness and overall well-being. sessions are 60 minutes.
Energy Healing
Energy healing is a hands on practice that brings awareness then balance to the body structures and energy. Using gentle touch and traction the body can relax and reorganize, helping to reduce stress, amplify vitality, and promote better postural alignment. sessions are 60 minutes.
