What I offer
In my practice, I am devoted to helping people who have pain or discomfort that prevents them from enjoying the activities they love to do. I use classic Structural Integration strategies combined with neural mobilization and other gentle, connective-tissue release techniques to expertly address problems with posture and movement.
I work with all kinds of active people--gardeners, cyclists, competitive athletes, yoga teachers, children and teens, busy retired people, and people who roll themselves in wheelchairs. Many of these clients have old injuries, chronic pain, or movement-limiting pains that haven't responded to self-care strategies or traditional medical approaches. Some are struggling to get through their day-to-day activities, and are looking for a way to decrease or eliminate pain. Other clients are interested in improving their performance, standing taller, feeling "younger" and more agile, or simply moving with greater comfort and freedom.
I love a good puzzle to solve, and I enjoy working with clients who seek greater understanding and appreciation of their own bodies.
Experience and training
I have been practicing bodywork for over thirteen years, and have studied with several masters of neural and visceral manipulation since completing my Structural Integration training (with the KMI school) in 2005. My earlier education in the sciences (BA in Environmental Studies, Evergreen State College,) and a history of involvement in sports, dance, and yoga provide the background for my ongoing study of anatomy and movement. I have assisted senior colleagues in teaching anatomy and technique classes to both intermediate and advanced manual therapists.
