Our Mission

One measure of health is a person’s ability to recognize and respond to their own needs. Chronic blockage in the body can complicate how we experience simple states like hunger, tiredness, love, and pain.

My goal in each session is to give the client a supported experience of their body. I work with intention and touch to help the tissues let go. When the body relaxes, its innate healing responses begin to work. And it feels good.

First, we must allow. Then, we can remember the simple goodness of life.
