The Structure that Connects
A paradox: how do we become who we already are?
In session this has evolved into an invitation for clients to organize under the auspice of their own compassionate, grounded, coherent self. Physically, Soma Structural Integration informs my practice style and manual techniques—the global considerations of this modality resonate with my emotional and spiritual ethics, which also attend to whole-systems thinking. Soma allows very specific and focused myofascial listening to have vast implications throughout the entire body.
Whether one’s goals are optimizing movement facility, bringing consciousness to embodiment, or recovering power after traumatic experience, touch-based containers are uniquely effective for the access they offer to the multiple domains that the ‘self’ inhabits. If it sounds weird, I think it represents that life is.

My Approach
I approach bodywork as a conversation between tissue and the physical/emotional stories, habits, and traumas held within. My work blends a deeply intuitive approach with a technical and precise skill-base, and I aim to use listening and action in the service of embodied health and harmony.
I acknowledge that I live and work on the unceded ancestral territory of the Coast Salish people. May all my practices support the sovereignty and thriving of multiplicity, the sacred, and diversity as its embodied in all beings, ecosystems, and cultures.
Be your beauty.
