My primary aim is to serve and be present with you and to tailor sessions to your particular needs and comfort level. The bottom line is that you leave the session feeling supported and enriched and on some level more at ease with your life and your body.

Some people like being quiet during sessions. Others like to talk about whatever is on their minds whether it be the daily news, dreams, or personal matters. Some want my verbal input and suggestions and guidance while others prefer processing inwardly. Others don't want to process at all and simply want a mini vacation to fully relax and not think about anything. Some people fall asleep. Some people cry or laugh or twitch or shake or sweat or snore.  I welcome and honor whatever emerges.

While I have been practicing since 1988 and have hundreds of hours of training and many tools and skills to offer, I approach each person with respect and curiosity and trust that together we will discover what is most needed in each session rather than relying on a rigid formulaic treatment plan. I strive to notice and follow signals and feedback in the moment and look to these for guidance. I love my work and feel honored to meet every person who comes my way.
