It's been almost 20 years.

We met through a mutual craniosacral therapy connection. Lori was looking for someone to fill in for her when she was on vacation.

I knew I wanted to either work with plants or people. But, it turns out I killed a lot of plants, so that narrowed my choice.

During a Career Day in highschool, I found Sports PT. Back then, the pre-PT program was only two years. When I told my advisor I was interested, she warned me that only 60 people out of 600 get into PT school and asked, "So what is your back-up plan?" Laughing, I told her that if I didn’t get in, my back up was truck driving.

How much time do we have... that's a 40-year walk! In the beginning it was manual therapy and skills. Then I studied the Feldenkrais Method (somatic education with gentle movement and directed attention) for more movement.

I worked as a therapist in a pool where I learned Watsu, a form of water therapy, (also called hydrotherapy). Watsu involves stretches, massages, and acupressure in warm water. For this practice you have to be very present with the client. I learned a lot during this time.

Continuing on my path of growth and learning, I studied pelvic health, the use of lasers, visceral manipulation, and, most recently, Heart-Centered Therapy with Alaya Chik at the Chikly Institute. This has been a profound and life-changing practice. I continue to study with Alaya and enjoy weaving Heart-Centered Therapy into my work.

My pathway for study has been drawn a lot from what my own body needs.

Working with people who are motivated, engaged and really participate in their own healing process.

I'd say my super power is helping people to connect with their own geniuses. Helping them access their innate capacity to heal. I see people with all my senses and can hold space to witness people without judgement.

Often clients tell me stories they haven't shared with anyone. We end up accessing emotional content they are carrying as well as working the physical and mechanical aspects of treatment. 

I bicycled across the country and down both coasts.

We are a holistic treatment center. We have learned to care for ourselves and each other, which allows us to care for our clients from a more balanced place. We practice what we teach.

This class is a blend of gentle movement and restful stillness to release stress and tension in the body and mind so you feel more balanced physically, mentally and emotionally.

No experience needed. Open to beginners and seasoned yogis alike.

All clients begin with a one-on-one or semi-private intro session and initial evaluation.
