Somatic Therapy Specialties
- Well woman care - in my private practice, I serve women in all stages of life to have the most positive, pain free, enjoyable, and honorific experience of menstruation, pregnancy, healthy cycling, and both surgical and natural menopause. Hormone balancing is one of my specialties, and I have helped many female clients gain back health through balancing hormones.
- I also am happy assist - transgender folk in finding wise balance as they explore hormone therapies.
- Back care - I have been a back care specialist as part of my yoga therapy practice, since 2008. Aligning the spine, hips, and feet is tremendously important for proper biomechanical function. I am happy to assist you in refining your posture, gait, and any other movement or rehab programs you may require. I work with PT’s, OT’s and other orthopedic professionals to make sure you get access to complete healing following surgery, injury, and other issues. I incorporate assessment, treatment protocol, time, bodywork, etc to speed recovery and get you moving well again.
- Pelvic floor health - Over the years, this issue has become more and more important and pressing in my private practice. My interest in it has grown from my specialty in back care, and how often spinal and pelvic floor health are closely related. Many people think they have weak pelvis floors (especially women who have given birth!), but often we have tightness that actually creates weakness. As the PF is made up of 16 different muscles, it is more complex than “too tight” or “too loose”. I offer assessment, exercises, emotional support, and PF awareness to bring balance, vitality, resilience, and confidence to this part of our body, no matter the gender, age, or background.
- Bodywork - I am certified in Jin Shin Do acupressure, Reiki, and Craniosacral therapies. I also incorporate marma therapy from the Ayurvedic tradition, to bring balance to the body through intuitive, gentle, effective touch. I only offer bodywork to those who I am working with in other capacities as part of a full spectrum program, including basti therapies, and shirodara. If you need referrals for other bodyworkers, please inquire.
