Bodywork
After practicing Rolfer for 25 years, I have recently given up that title. I am now working in a gentler style influenced by a 2 year cranial training and study with Don Hazen on nerves. I still have a structural eye and style to my bodywork to help alleviate discomfort and keep you active. Whether it is a nerve caught under your scapula, chronic SI pain, achilles tendentious, scoliosis management or any other physical discomfort, I offer support. With my 35 years of experience of hands on bodywork, I approach each session by deeply listening with my hands and heart. In my experience, how your bones are stacked are based on two principles: natural alignment that you were born with and that which was imposed from culture, accidents and attitudes. Together we attempt to unwind these patterns through encouraging touch, education and time. Emotional components can then begin to naturally loosen when we live into our bodies in a fuller way. My approach is comprehensive, including the fascia related to muscles, bones, nerves, as well as the visceral and cranium and vascular systems. My work is intuitive yet grounded in science.
Yoga Classes
With my time as an Advanced Rolfer, long time Yoga teacher and a lover of anatomy for many years, I discern with my eyes and intuition while listening with my hands in the classroom setting. I sense where the body is bound and where movement is impaired. I bring these skills along with years of meditation practice to my teaching of yoga because what I cultivate in my life is what I have to share.
I feel my job as teacher is to provide a quiet haven, to lead a practice of depth and to offer respite from the buzz of life so you can feel what is present in this moment. The gentle style of yoga I teach these days is rooted in my years of practice and influenced heavily by Kaiut yoga. It is calming to the nervous system, powerful towards flexibility of the joints, while helping unwind fascial patterns. The approach can be easily modify so that everyone of any flexibility or injury is welcome and comfortable. I find it is not about touching your toes that matters but what you notice along the way.
Human Design
Are you committed to understanding more about yourself?Have you ever felt like you were the only one who didn’t get the playbook at birth?
Well, Human Design is that playbook. We were each imprinted at birth to play a role here on earth. We each have unique lessons to learn and paths to follow. When we discover these and begin the experiment of living our design, life opens to us in unforetold ways. As we learn to recognize the conditioning field around us and live into our uniqueness, our voices become truer, decisions will be easier, while confidence grows along with happiness.
I offer support in this journey with ongoing phone conversations to coach you through this process. With weekly sessions that gently unfold this huge body of information so that you may begin to digest, understand and practice it. Discovering your unique mandala may be the single most important step you’ve entered into this life.
