Session Goals
People come in with a variety of symptoms and complaints and often arrive in physical discomfort from chronic or acute pain. I create a space of collaboration and we work together to address the symptoms you may be experiencing including:
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Chronic and acute pain
-
Muscle tension and lack of mobility
-
Nerve impingement
-
Bone-on-bone
-
Migraines
-
Pre and post surgery care
I offer a grounded presence and hold your unique "body-story" with care. While alleviating these symptoms is important, I also work with clients to:
-
Feel more connected to their body and their emotions
-
Develop and refine language around sensations, feelings, boundaries, and needs
-
Stay regulated and access more choice during challenging times
-
Cultivate safety and capacity amongst physical, emotional, and cultural trauma
-
Utilize the body as a resource for authentic expression
-
Deepen their connection and engagement with themselves, others, and the living world.
Preparation and Dress
On the day of your session please do not use any body lotion or oil before coming to your session as this can impact my ability to work with your body.
For dress, I recommend wearing underwear, short spandex, running shorts. Tops are optional and if you choose to wear a top I recommend a loose fitting bra, tank top, or shirt.
I can also perform the work over clothing so getting undressed is not a requirement. I empowerment the client to choose what clothing feels safe and appropriate for their needs.
It is important to be comfortable in what you are wearing since we will be working in several sitting and lying positions and walking and standing before, during, and after your sessions.
Session Details
Sessions last between 60-90 minutes and include an opportunity to talk about any changes that happened between sessions, a discussion about symptoms, postural assessment, bodywork, movement education, and somatic dialogue.
A majority of the bodywork takes place on the table with the client lying on their front, back, or side. During some sessions the client may receive work in all of these positions and may get off of the table several times to feel the contrast before and after an area was worked on. I also perform hands on tissue work with the client in sitting, standing, and in movement.
At the end of each session I will provide instruction for structural exercises, self care practices, and activities to explore that can support and improve what was achieved during the session.
