WORK WITH ME
Each session is a collaboration between my expertise and your experience.
Nervous System-centered Bodywork
Informed by years of study with leaders in bodywork from across the world, I’ve blended what they taught me into an approach that’s my own. It rests on a simple idea: when your nervous system feels safe, you can be curious about your body. When you can be curious, new ways of feeling and moving emerge. Call it a good lineage with my own fingerprints on it.
Scarwork
Gentle, precise work with scar tissue from surgeries, C-sections, and injuries, recent or decades old. In contrast to traditional techniques that “break up” scar tissue, I aim to help the scar integrate into the tissue around it.
Many people find the scar, and the area around it, starts to feel like theirs again.
You don’t have to pick
You book a session, not a technique. We start with how you’re doing that day, and I draw on whatever will help most: nervous system work, Scarwork, or some of each.
Wondering if this is right for you, or what a session might look like for your particular body? Ask me. No question is too small, or too strange.
How we get started
No mystery, no pressure.
- 01A quick intro callA short conversation about what’s going on, what you’re hoping for, and whether we’re a good fit. No commitment, no hard sell. Book your intro call
- 02Your new client packageIf we decide to work together, we begin with three sessions over about three weeks. Close enough together that you can feel things shift, and long enough to learn what your body responds to.
- 03Finding your rhythmFrom there, we decide together what a good follow-up routine looks like for your goals, budget, and schedule. Most people come back every three to five weeks.
