In my somatic practice I work with adults seeking ease from behavior or pain patterns related to overwhelm. Clients seek relief with hyper- and hypo-arousal patterns: anxiety, panic attacks, sleep disturbances, intrusive flashbacks, dissociation, loss of libido, body dysmorphia, pain/fatigue syndromes. My practice uses co-regulating touch, as a way to communicate "bottom up" in the language we are born with: sensation and movement. But we'll also experiment with boundaries, orienting, movement and meaning, to build awareness skills and invite connection inside and out. My 30-plus years in massage and structural bodywork continues to inform my current gentle & facilitative practice. (No longer offering massage after moving to OR.) Many clients concurrently receive psychotherapy; I enjoy working as a team.
