My work is in service to my community and the collective body.

Philosophy and Approach
Everyone is capable and deserving of relief, peace, and a sense of deep meaning from clear understanding.
To support you in your personal growth toward these qualities, I draw upon my professional training as an artist, educator, and bodyworker in order to provide you with a holistic experience in mind, body, and spirit.
Because an artful way of being weaves together healing and learning so that they are one and the same.
This is the magic of what I can offer you, as well as what I work for in my own life with a humbling dedication: A path that is intentional, easeful, and grounded. Though, that is not to say challenges are unwelcome— quite the opposite, I believe adversity can bring profound growth. A broken and healed bone is stronger than the bone it was before, and when the path towards transformation is taken with purpose and practiced with ritual, that strength becomes magnetic and unique. It is a state of being that is connected and yet all your own.
It is a way of forgiveness.
And so, when you seek healing and learning in pursuit of forgiveness,
I will be honored to hold space and steward that path for you.
With warmth and gratitude,
H
Pain is a psychosomatic experience— it is felt in the body and mind together. It is a feeling that tells us something in our body and mind is in need of care and reorganization. I use a variety of integrated, manual techniques to help bring you whole body relief. These include:
Swedish and Relaxation // Intentional Deep Tissue // Myofascial Release // Neuromuscular Therapy // Assisted Stretching // Acupressure // Five Element Theory // Guided Meditation //

What to expect for your scheduled session…
Before your session…
After scheduling, either directly through personal communication or the online scheduling platform, you will receive a welcome email providing you with directions to the studio and helpful information.
At your session…
In addition to the time we spend doing hands-on work, detailed in the session type, we will also need ten to fifteen minutes for discussing you personal needs and goals for our work together. A gentle reminder about this extra time will be included in your welcome email so you can plan your daily schedule with ease.

If you have not paid in advance, we will do so at the end of your bodywork session. I am able to take the following forms of payment:
Cash or check

Most major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, and Discover
On the day after your session, if you do not have a future or follow up appointment already scheduled, you will receive a check-in email asking about how you are feeling and giving you the opportunity to be in touch regarding any novel or unique sensations you may be experiencing after your bodywork session.
Integrative Bodywork
For the individual seeking a sensed shift in body, mind, and spirit through the process of ritual and ceremony.
Every ritual and ceremony is unique to the individual seeking transformation, however there are certain frameworks I work from and offer, pulled from trained and inherited practices. My intentions with each ritual or ceremony is based upon the kind of transformation you seek. Often this can feel like release, clarity, integration, value setting, self reflection, or some combination of all. I call this kind of transformation “big change”. The kind of change that comes from the self, in a fully embodied state of being. The kind of change that comes from an inherently understood sense of permission to feel peaceful in body, mind, and spirit.
Giving one’s self permission to change, shift, and experience is not always simple, and rarely easy. My role in understanding your needs and goals for big change is to facilitate the space and engaged practice that can initiate your process of big change. My role is to offer held space, to form the container for permission, so that you may be at ease.
Scheduling and Costs…
Please schedule a 30 minute beginning consultation in order to start the process. If there is not a time available on my online scheduling platform, please reach out directly— my schedule is broad and flexible, and I offer online scheduling simply for those seeking this convenience. At the end of our initial meeting, we will determine how to move forward with follow up dates, times, and the ritual arts practice that fits your needs and goals.
