In more than a decade of working closely with my Physiotherapy clients, and through my own journeying in this incredible vessel we call a Body, I have learned to trust what is asking to come through and be witnessed.

So often, it is the simple act of witnessing, using physical touch and mindful movement, that allows INSIGHT, RELEASE, and REPAIR to take place!

With your specific goals in mind, we will craft a session and an ongoing Home Management Plan that is just for you, your Body, and your Spirit’s journey within it.
