Rolfing® is a system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education that organizes the whole body in gravity. Rolfing bodywork affects the body’s posture and structure by manipulating the myofascial system (connective tissue) and by encouraging the ongoing perception of our relationship with gravity. Often considered a deep-tissue approach, Rolfing bodywork actually works with all the layers of the body to ease strain patterns in the entire system. Research has demonstrated that Rolfing creates more efficient muscle use, allows the body to conserve energy, and creates more economical and refined patterns of movement. Rolfing has also been shown to significantly reduce chronic stress, reduce spinal curvature in subjects with lordosis (sway back), and enhance neurological functioning.

Initial Rolfing Appointment

Rolf Movement

Contact Improv is a movement form that involves two people in contact, maintaining a spontaneous physical dialogue through the sensing of shared weight and momentum. For this to happen, bodies open to the sensations of weight, balance and momentum and learn to release excessive muscular tension and some degree of willful volition to the natural flow of movement at hand. It is a physical format to practice embodied skills of communication and listening, while providing a safe and consensual way to invite new patterns, release tension, and find your playful, wild self.

Contact Improvisation

SourcePoint Therapy is a gentle energetic practice that focuses on the inherent health in each individual with simple protocols that connect with the Blueprint of Health for the human being; a fundamental Order and Balance and Harmony and Flow-which are present in the universal energy field (Source) and in our bodies and minds. When working with points and patterns in the universal energy field, we help recognize and awaken that energy in ourselves and clear blockages. 
Hands transmit powerful information. In SourcePoint Therapy, we are not channeling something. Our hands are transmitting vibrational patterns of energy flow within a field of awareness in relation with the BluePrint of your Health,  your specific constitution, as it’s connected to the field of Source.

SourcePoint Therapy

This work helps contextualize the causes of trauma: historical, cultural, familial, and personal; how it shows up in our behaviors, emotions, and body. I offer support through deep listening and presence to heal the detrimental impacts of trauma in the body and in relational experiences. Through relational attunement a restorative frequency occurs healing trauma trapped in the deep layers of your brain.

TAG Method: Trauma Repatterning and Integration

Scar tissue is dense restrictive fascia. There are numerous techniques used to integrate the different qualities of scar tissue into the fascial web.  Scar tissue work uses a casual, light touch – like working with bread dough.  ScarWork often results in large whole body integration shifts along with trauma resolution, and nerve-impaired numbness usually resolves within a session.
The work is rarely painful – even for very new scars, and the amount of change in one intervention is extensive. The cosmetic effect is relieving and the functional changes, profound. Natural and surgical scars of any age respond immediately, followed by a short period of rapid healing and continued improvement. The improvements are permanent.

Scar Work

I use a gently yet very specific release on fascial adhesions that surround organs, caused by surgeries and other impairments, that may be binding or restricting particular organs and causing an overall body misalignment. I carefully listen for autonomic movements along pathways with touch. Deeply informed to how organs move, I support a natural process of unwinding that occurs, bringing resolving relief. This work compliments Rolfing, aiding in an overall unraveling through the system.

Visceral Manipulation

This subtle practice nourishes your autonomic nervous system through direct, specific and very subtle touch of the cranium bones, spine and other places on your body to increase movement of the craniosacral fluid, circulating along the inside of the skull and down through the spinal cord. Restoring this system’s delicate balance helps generate your overall wellbeing. It can reduce chronic stress in your muscular system, release toxins from your hormonal system and restore the central nervous system from chronic restrictions.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

Scoliosis Treatment: Informed by both Rolfing® and Schroth Therapy for Scoliosis Treatment®, this work helps people living with scoliosis improve appearances and move better; reduce pain in shoulders, ribs, low back and neck; minimize the likelihood of progression; improve alignment in gravity; enhance postural awareness through greater proprioception and postural practices and  facilitate functional breathing patterns.
