My work is based in listening, skilled touch and movement. I incorporate massage alongside more subtle hands-on techniques to facilitate deep integration of all your parts. Together, we inquire into how you can feel more yourself in your body. I welcome all identities, ages and levels of ability/disability.
 ​

Our work may include broad goals like relaxation, pain reduction, mobility and stress relief. We can also address more specific issues related to recovery from injury, illness or other trauma. Everything we do will enhance your movement performance in everyday life. Depending on your needs, goals and interests, we may work with micro-movements, larger movement through space, or some combination. ​​

I am trained as a massage therapist, dancer, choreographer and critical thinker. I have extensively studied Body-Mind Centering, Alexander, Feldenkrais and Pilates techniques, as well as connective tissue therapies, acupressure and nurturing and therapeutic massage. 
​​​I began the process of unlearning racism many years ago, and this learning/unlearning continues. My Buddhist studies and mindfulness meditation practice support me in all my work. I began developing my therapeutic skills in 1990.

Session Length
Normally my sessions last about 90 minutes. This includes our intake conversation, hands-on and movement work and concluding conversation. If I’m coming to your home or office, I’ll need time to set up and take down; usually 10-15 minutes. First appointments last closer to two hours, to accommodate a longer intake interview.


Fees
At my home office: $150.
At your location in Sonoma County: $175.
At your location in Marin, San Francisco or the East Bay: $200-250.


If you feel that my work will benefit you and you truly cannot afford my fee, please initiate a conversation with me to see if we can work out an exchange that meets both our needs.

 I am always eager to consult with your medical doctor, physical therapist, or other health provider or bodyworker to coordinate care.
​Insurance may reimburse you if you have a doctor's prescription for massage.
