Movement and Massage Therapies
Since my certification as a massage therapist in 1990, I have been continuously studying a range of movement and somatic techniques and practices. My work has evolved a patient and gentle quality based on deep listening. My bodywork sessions offer a haven for my clients and me. In that safe, quiet space we dialogue with words, touch and movement, at the pace requested by your nervous system, your fluids and fascia, your tissues, organs and bones. I practice listening with all my systems so that I can "speak the language" of all your systems. The complexity of each of our unique orchestrations endlessly fascinates me.
Although I only began formally studying Body-Mind Centering within the last ten years, this approach feels like one of my "true homes". In this framework, we integrate scientific-academic information about our bodies with our direct, dynamic, subjective experience of our bodies. BMC practices a non-hierarchical way of teaching and learning, valuing all voices.
My other primary somatic influences are Alexander Technique (Robert Britton and Jack Moore), Pilates (Mercy Sidbury) and Feldenkrais Method (Augusta Moore).
My primary movement-technique influences are modern and post-modern dance, ballet and tai chi. Contact Improvisation has become another "true home".
Nature forms my ultimate home, providing context for all the others.
