Specialties
I find your body's stabilizing patterns, areas of congestion, and the individual's anomalies, and holding patterns of stress. Hands-on therapeutic techniques, to unwind tense muscles and restore flow. An integrative style combines basic techniques (Swedish, Thai, deep tissue) with more specific patterning systems (Shiatsu, 'Touch For Health', Cranial-Sacral, Neuromuscular-Release, Myofascial Release, Polarity, Lymphatic drainage, Chapman's reflexes, Orthobionomy).
