Body Tending

What informs my work…

The guiding principle of my work is my deep reverence and respect for the human body and the living consciousness within us. I believe the body has an inherent healing intelligence, and connection to a greater life force. I strive to attune to this wisdom and support the body's natural processes of healing, self-regulation, and connection to this greater force.

A bit more about my approach…

I specialize in a unique form of touch called 'attuned touch.' Unlike traditional approaches that mainly target muscle tissue, my technique acts as a conductor of rhythmic movement, recalibrating the body at a cellular level through the nervous system.

My approach goes beyond manual techniques; I also guide clients through a powerful sensory exploration of their body's wisdom. During each session, I incorporate guided meditations, helping clients increase their somatic awareness and sensory perception.

Equipping clients with the necessary resources and knowledge empowers them to take an active role in their health and well-being. This approach allows the benefits to extend beyond our time together.
