access infinite flow AND deep healing
The energy we are made from holds a well of possibility for rebirth
The healing process is unique for each person and in our sessions is activated through the use of gentle plant medicines, deeply connected bodywork, shamanic work, ceremony, and song.
The work that we do together guides and supports the transfer of motion and energy through the innermost cylinder of the body, the core, the midline. This is the governing body of each individual and the seat of the heart and soul. When energy flows throughout there is room to be neutral, grounded, to discharge emotions gently, to react and respond in a way that involves the heart and integrity.
Medicine is a liminal field and in this in-between space we can access infinite flow where deep healing, reorganization, and remembrance happens.

Hands
Hands carry the love from the heart. Hands receive. Hands give. This is flow. After being in practice for ten years I saw that the most important task as a physician is to support a person’s emotional and physical flow to uncover their innate ability to heal. I found that the model I was working with was insufficient, so to accomplish this I began working with talented teachers and studying various bodywork modalities. As a result, now I work with my hands intuitively, utilizing advanced bodywork which is tailored for each patient in each individual session. I work from a place of knowing that for a person to be in harmony they must be aligned in body, mind, heart, and spirit. My hands are especially gifted in the slow work of guiding through trauma and assisting the will in moving through blocked places. I gravitate towards working with emotional injuries that result in physical restriction and disease, and with opening the upper and lower diaphragms: the pelvic floor and the mouth/jaw/sphenoid bone. I bring this work forward with love, connection, and humor in each session.
Structural Integration: TEN SESSION SERIES
I offer a ten session sequence based on the work of Ida Rolf. This sequence supports movement through the core by taking your body through a series of opening up and releasing layers in a sequential way where each session supports the next. This is a sequence that is very important in gaining physical/emotional stability, finding and using your voice, knowing inner strength and trust, having a soft heart and a strong back, and most importantly it supports moving through the center of the body where heart and mind and spirit are aligned. I recommend this series to most of my patients as it will address long term muscoluskeletal pain, restricted range of motion, repetitive use injuries, and emotional injury that may be involved in postural and movement restrictions. I generally modify the sequence as needed and add in organ manipulation, craniosacral therapy, and specific diaphragm work (in most cases internal pelvic work) as indicated. This work is accomplished well in a sequence of meeting every other week.
the pelvic diaphragm/ internal pelvic attunement
Much of my day is spent working with the pelvic bowl in women. I have spent the past decade learning the subtleties of the tissues of the pelvic floor and wombspace, understanding energy patterns, and helping women reconnect with their innate wisdom and healing ability which comes from this sacred place. On the physical plane this work is a combination of myofascial release, structural integration, and energy work. This work is tremendously important in caring for the root of the body post-partum, post miscarriage, healing pelvic trauma (immediately after or years later), and for all women interested in being connected to their wisdom, creativity and coming home to sacred sexuality. Through this hands-on work your body reveals and clarifies receptivity, expression, boundaries, and flow through the heart body spirit connection.
heart
One of my greatest loves in this life is to help people flow through their heart again after a loss of heart. Any loss of heart. My work is deeply nourishing and serves to guide and support the tender newness of opening and unfolding. I use my hands, my words, my song, and plant medicines to free the old restrictions (physical, emotional, and spiritual) so that new movement may come through your heart.
bowl
Tea is soul medicine, tea is a teacher. Through the alchemy of the elements of fire, water, and leaf our spirit remembers source and we experience presence, awakening, groundedness and flight. Mind, body, and spirit are harmonized. Cha Dao “The Way of Tea” is a practice that roots back through a lineage of Chinese sages and monks and originated in the mountains of Asia over a thousand years ago. I share this medicine through sacred tea ceremony as it is a perfect anchor for individuals ready to dive deep and access new space in the mind, heart, body, and spirit.
I am grateful for the many teachers I am learning from, grateful for the plant, and for all of the hands involved in bringing this potent leaf from China to this country. I serve tea before individual sessions, in workshops, and I am available for group tea ceremony in my space or elsewhere.

spirit
The motivation of my work is rooted in my heart and my desire to help others be fully saturated with spirit, with source, and the remembrance of wholeness. There are many words for this heavenly energy and I work with this in a very personal way. I share this work with people of all religions, people who feel connected to no religion, and everyone in between. I recognize that each of us has the ability to be fully aligned and that there are many words for this state of connection. In some cases, there can be a block to alignment which came from a source “outside” of yourself, for example from loss, from grief, or from physical or emotional trauma. This disharmony can be rebalanced by the medicine of specific prayer and mantra along with plant spirit medicine in an individual ceremony that releases the pattern from the aura. This ceremony clears the energetic field and rebuilds the psycho-spiritual plane. I am honored to have received training in this realm by many teachers, and most profoundly, Rosita Arvigo in Belize, who continues the work of Don Elijio Panti. These sessions are beautiful and deep, a type of soul retrieval where parts that have been split off can return. Spiritual healing sessions can, in some cases, be integrated into already scheduled sessions but I prefer to have them scheduled separately as they often require 2 hours time. Please inquire directly about these sessions.
