Bodywork

After practicing Rolfer for 25 years, I have recently stepped away that title and into a gentler approach to bodywork. My current practice is informed by a 2 year cranial training and study with Don Hazen focused on the peripheral nerves.

While my work has softened, I still have a structural eye and the intention to help alleviate discomfort and support your ability to move freely. Whether it is a nerve caught under your scapula, chronic SI pain, achilles tendentious rupture, scoliosis management or any other physical discomfort, I offer experienced, attentive care.

With my 40 years of hand-on experience, I approach each session by deeply listening with my hands and heart. How your bones are stacked are based on two major principles: the natural genetic alignment that you were born with, and the layers imposed by culture, accidents and attitudes. Together we unwind these patterns through informed touch, education and time. As the body reorganizes layers often begin to ease naturally, allowing you to inhabit yourself more fully.

My approach is comprehensive, and integrative, addressing the fascia associate with muscles, bones, nerves, the visceral and cranium and vascular systems. My work is intuitive yet grounded in science.

Yoga Classes

With my background as an Advanced Rolfer, long time yoga teacher and lifelong interest in anatomy, I bring a discerning eye and an intuition touch to my classes. I listening with my hands as much as with my ears, sensing where the body is bound and where movement is restricted.

I weave these skills along with years of meditation practice, sharing what I cultivate in my own life. My role as a teacher is to offer a quiet haven- a practice of depth and presence that provides respite from the buzz of life.

The gentle style of yoga I teach today is rooted in decades of exploration that align perfectly with the kaiut style of practice. It is calming to the nervous system, powerful in restoring joints mobility, and effective in unwind fascial patterns. The practice is easily modify, making it accessible to everyone from age 14 to 100. Regardless of flexibility, experience, or injury, everyone is welcome. Ultimately, it’s not about touching your toes, but about noticing what unfolds along the way.

Human Design

Are you curious to understand yourself more deeply — the patterns that shape you, the ways you make decisions, and the gifts that come naturally? Discovering and living your unique design can be a powerful step toward inhabiting your life with greater ease, clarity, and self-trust.

Human Design offers a kind of map — a playbook that helps illuminate how you are built to move through the world. Each of us is imprinted at birth with a unique design and a role to play. When we begin to live in alignment with that design, life often begins to feel more fluid and authentic.

Through this lens, we can start to notice the conditioning that pulls us away from our true nature. As awareness grows, choices become clearer, our voices more genuine, and our confidence steadier.

I offer guidance through in this complicated experiment called human design. Together we can unfold this body of wisdom at a pace that can be lived and integrated. Let’s explore how your design expresses through your body, relationships, and daily life — bringing insight into action.
