“The ability to settle ourselves during times of intense pressure is one of the most valuable self-protective skills we can develop. Please make that your top priority now.”

~Carolyn Hax, Washington Post, August 2023.

“Rest is where the healing is.” ~ N. Apple, Medicine Healer

During a session, I will choose a pressure I perceive is both significant and effective. My touch goes from light to medium, to firm, and back again.

Within a session, it is possible to experience: percussion and oscillation; muscle friction, spreading, and lengthening; tissue unwinding under static pressure, specific trigger point pressure; warming through heat application; tissue lifting, rolling, and safe torquing; stretching and passive joint mobilization; and extended stillness holds.

With careful communication, we will determine what elements to include.

Physical Therapists refer clients to me for therapeutic continuity of care. Psychotherapists refer clients for safe touch, body acceptance, grief, and emotional support. Leaders of sacred plant work refer clients for integration support after plant medicine experiences.

Currently, my work is moving in the direction of the subtle modalities; I am training in Cranio-Sacral Therapy and welcome clients willing to explore the power and benefits of quieter work.
“Reikissage” is a session in which half the time is devoted to massage at the feet, hands, and head/face, and the next half devoted to restful Reiki holds.

I am a Certified Shamanic Practitioner in the Harner lineage. If you are interested in the inclusion of sacred elements such as smudging, extended shamanic (260 bpm) drumbeat, sound vibration, or icao playlist, please inquire.
