BODYWORK THERAPEUTICS: My bodywork/massage addresses challenging pain and touch sensitivity conditions. I can provide relief for injury/accident/post-surgical problems, as well as traumatic brain injury, limited range-of-motion in joints, or the devilish inability to slow down to return to a sense of core stillness. People engaged in transformational therapy will find this work effective in helping to provide a body-felt base of self-awareness. My approach is gentle but deep, non-invasive and highly integrative, and is strongly influenced by biodynamic craniosacral techniques and methodology.
