approach
deep relaxation, lymphatic drainage, support in returning to homeostasis, alignment, intuitive healing, tension and muscular release
every session is an opportunity for my client and me to listen deeply and respond. each session is a collaboration. is nourishment needed? more movement and stimulation? release? the more awareness a client can bring to our sessions together, the more can shift in the physical and emotional planes.
ultimately my hope is that through our work together you will have the opportunity to connect to your inner well of healing energy as well as to your own inner guidance and have the ability to move through life from this resourced and informed place. this in turn fuels your connection to the greater web of life outside of yourself in the way you deeply desire.
what i offer is unconditional loving presence for you to come as you are and simply be. i provide deep, nourishing and caring touch.
