Embodied Life™
In the Embodied Life™ work, we begin with a very simple idea: in order to be intimate with our selves we have to start from a place of kindness. Through meditation, movement, and somatic explorations we begin to develop a deeper and kinder connection to self.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy uses subtle, listening touch to facilitate correction of restrictions in the myo-fascial sheaths surrounding the central nervous system. These releases in turn facilitate the self-correcting capacity of all other body systems.
Feldenkrais Method®
The Feldenkrais Method® explores movement patterns and facilitates a change toward greater functional mobility through awareness.
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral Manipulation gently corrects motility patterns in the organ systems. Muscular pain often originates from dysfunction in the motility of organs.
