Movement and Massage Therapies
You may be curious about your familiar patterns of movement and posture, and sense that reorganizing those patterns will feel good.
You may enjoy learning through scientific concepts and information, or you may prefer learning without your "thinking mind". Each session may include both, as well as the simple pleasures of rest and skilled touch.
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. In the safety and quiet of a session, we dialogue with words, touch and movement. We go at your pace. I practice listening with all my systems so that I can "speak the language" of all your systems.
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.
