I offer a natural, comprehensive, somatic approach to headache, migraine, stress, pain, tension, and trauma. I developed Transcranial Somatic Therapy (tST) in 1970. This protocol calms and resolves headache and migraine pain and its associated symptoms, such as light, sound, and smell sensitivity, nausea, and lethargy. Learn Self-tST as part of the Somatic Headache Care Program for Relief and Prevention. Self-care, hope restoration, and empowerment practices are powerful tools, as taught in The Headache Healer’s Handbook. I offer 1:1 and group sessions online; some in-person sessions.

As a Holistic Health Practitioner I assist my clients in healing their discomfort and pain such as neck and shoulder pain, back and hip problems and recovery from injuries. Biodynamic Bodywork developed in my practice throughout the years to help people with their unique and specific pain patterns. I specialize in Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) to support the fluids and detoxification, and work with cancer patients to diminish the side effects of chemo therapy and lymph edema. Because LDT is very gentle, it helps diminish swelling and pain after surgery, including plastic surgery. Very importantly LDT boosts the immune system.

I'm a licensed massage therapist practicing Structural Integration and somatic bodywork. Integrating heart and science into every session, I believe that bodywork, often pursued in relief of pain, can also improve our relationship with our bodies and deepen our experience in the world around us. I bring an awareness of the educational, experiential process of receiving bodywork, making lasting change through awareness and embodiment, in addition to very effective technique. Originally from New York, I trained at The Swedish Institute in New York City (a 1226-hour program) and at IPSB in San Diego.

You've been to doctor. Nothing shows up on the X-ray. You've been told nothing is wrong. That's good! It means there are no breaks or tears, that there is nothing organically wrong. But it still hurts! That means the pain is most likely soft tissue. It's something that can be released! You can reclaim your spunk. Problems of mobility and pain can usually be traced to some old injury, even from 20 or 30 or more years ago. Auto accidents, ski injuries, falls - they all take their toll on the body. That physical trauma can be released easily and gently, giving a person more FREEDOM and RELEASE from pain!

Who can practice massage in California?
Most states have licensing requirements that must be met before a practitioner (a 'masseuse' or 'masseur') can use the title 'Massage Therapist', and some states require a license to practice any form of massage. Licensed Massage Therapists in California have obtained the highest level of authentication. They must complete academic coursework in anatomy and physiology, as well as on the application of massage and bodywork, business and ethics, and specialized massage techniques. The California LMT must then pass a certification exam.

What are the benefits of California massage?
Clients use massage in California because it relieves pain from muscle aches and sprains, muscle injuries and other causes of pain. It reduces stress and helps clients relax, and can decrease feelings of anxiety and depression by stimulating the release of endorphins and serotonin. Massage therapy in California can help prevent fibrosis or scar tissue, increase the flow of lymph, and improve sleep. California massage therapy can help rehabilitate sports injuries.

How does massage work?
Massage involves working and acting on the body using pressure from the hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearm, or feet of the massage therapist. The California massage therapist focuses on muscles, tendons, ligaments, myofacia, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, or organs of the gastrointestinal system.
