     The bodywork I offer has a strong focus on the relationship between mind and body. One's state of consciousness has a powerful affect on the physical body. Though we often talk about the mind-body connection, science has no way of establishing where the boundary lies between them. If we take the perspective of Zen, there is in fact no boundary to be found. If you sit in meditation, you will also find no boundary between the mind and body except what you create with your thoughts.

     Through meditation one can access states of consciousness that have healing effects on physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual levels. In the context of bodywork, such states seem to be contagious. That is, when I cultivate such a state during a session, clients frequently drop into their own deeper state of consciousness which facilitates the body's own natural healing process.

      My intention is to facilitate your access to this healing process. This includes a short guided meditation at the beginning of the session in which you will learn to use the breath to release deep holding patterns and tensions from your body. A frequent response from clients is that the session was profoundly relaxing.

      Depending on the needs and wishes of the client I offer Therapeutic Massage, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, and Reiki (or as one client referred to it - "More than Reiki").
