Hellerwork Structrual Integration

Deep Connective Tissue Bodywork

Hellerwork works by releasing tension and restrictions in the connective tissues of the body including the fascia, muscles, and ligaments. I integrate a variety of techniques to help the body's various tissues become more adaptive and resilient. During your sessions, bodywork may be performed regionally, targeting certain areas as needed. The work is organized to develop better alignment, improve balance, and support the whole body.

Movement Education

Movement education works by helping you become more aware of your body and movement habits. I will guide you to pay attention to your posture, breath, and everyday activities. I'll also teach you exercises that help you explore movement in new ways, self-care practices to help areas of unease, and practical tools to help you integrate to a "movement lifestyle."

Somatic Dialogue

This is a unique, key component of Hellerwork which involves a verbal exchange between myself and the client. I will use specific questions and cues to guide your attention to your body and internal experience, with the goal of increasing self awareness at all levels - physical, mental, emotional, and relational. This dialogue helps facilitate a deeper body-mind connection and can shift physical, emotional, and movement patterns.

Integrating Additional Bodywork, Movement, and Somatic Practices

Since becoming a Certified Hellerwork Practitioner, I've immersed myself in continuing education in the fields of bodywork, movement education, and somatic dialogue. As a passionate learner, I weave together many interests and modalities, integrating them into our sessions together.
