Somatic Bodywork
Somatic bodywork is a powerful experiential learning method. This type of learning happens organically when we apply our curiosity and attention to something of genuine interest. By combining curiosity and intentional focus with quality touch, somatic bodywork positively impacts the areas of the brain that coordinate movement and intention.
Situations where the work is particularly impactful include
restoring lost movement due to injury or illness
reducing chronic area of muscle tension
improving balance and physical coordination
releasing myofascial patterns of holding that are associated with outdated physical and emotional coping mechanisms
I offer two types of somatic bodywork which are great for enhancing your wellness routine.
Feldenkrais Functional Integration®
FI® lessons are an integral part of the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education. Gentle touch and movement suggest new ways to move in action and encourage the release of habitual holding patterns when you are at rest. Lessons are usually tied to a particular action or function that is rooted in your specific needs and desires. By fostering self-awareness, these lessons strengthen your ability to choose efficient and effective movement in all your actions.

Anatomy Trains Structural Integration
Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) works directly with the myofascial lines of the body that give us both stability and flexibility in motion. The primary intent is to balance these soft tissue so that we enjoy a neutral resting state when not actively engaging our muscles in action. My style focuses on restoring fascial glide to areas that are resistant to movement transmission. These can be done as a single treatment or as a series of either three or 12 sessions.
