Thai Bodywork is an ancient modality that was used by the physician to the Buddha. It is a dynamic blend of massage, yoga, breath work, and energy healing.
I incorporate hot stone therapy with the use of a jade, tourmaline, and amethyst mat. My life has been a long journey of coming home to my body after spending years living primarily in my mind. For a long time, even though I was always very physically active, I felt like I was just a head walking around without a real felt sense of my body. I struggled to identify emotions and physical sensations,
the connection between the two, and how they both connected to my life experiences. Through dance, yoga, meditation, conscious breath work, energy work, sound, creative expression, herbalism, and healthy, nurturing relationships with other people and the elements of nature, I have found my way into a sense of being at home in my body and in the world. I incorporate all of these modalities into my work, using deep listening, intuition, and clear verbal and nonverbal communication to meet the individual needs of my clients. My goal is to support others to feel at home in their body, and to find safety in feeling the sensations and emotions that are present moment to moment. I offer guidance for the breath, which is a powerful grounding cord to help us return to our body when we start to drift away and into our mind. I have experience working with a broad spectrum of clients with different body types, varying degrees of range of motion, and all levels of experience with bodywork and energy work. I have worked with clients who have never received bodywork, as well as with other body and energy workers, yoga teachers, and dancers. For those who may feel numb, dissociated, anxious, in pain, or tentative about receiving touch, we will move slowly and gently to introduce basic strategies for being with your breath, allowing your muscles to be held (and maybe even relax!), and receiving safe touch. For those who may already be deeply connected with their breath and body, we will have an opportunity to weave a circuit of dynamic energy and magic, playfulness and experimentation with rhythm, sound, visualization, and potential altered states of consciousness. All people of any race, class, religion, sexuality, gender expression, politics, citizenship status, or background are respected and welcomed. I have experience working with LGBTQ folx, indigenous people, and those with trauma histories, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. I have a particular interest in working with women, those struggling with dissociation, and underserved, under-represented, and oppressed populations. SLIDING SCALE:
