What to expect:
Some people appreciate quiet as i work to relieve muscle tension and offer new positions for your body to rest and reset. Some clients appreciate guidance on how to cope with anxiety and stress or chronic ‘overthinking’ or with a sense of feeling disconnected from their bodies and living too much in their heads. I offer both. I’m sensitive to where you are at and work with you to help bring clarity to stuckness and relief to the symptoms - sore muscles! I offer useful ways to help with this in your everyday life using breath and awareness and grounding. In my experience- and this is my on-going life’s work- it is possible to be present, aware and able to meet the full range of life’s challenges and opportunities without being hyper critical or cut off and distracted.
Why is skilful touch therapy so useful?
As we live our lives most of us build up patterns of behavior, postures, ways of holding ourselves that are largely unconscious. Or we are very aware of them but don’t know how to change. So we get a bit stuck. My hands act as safe and supportive feedback to guide you into your felt sense and know for yourself where you feel stuck and where you feel open and everything in between. By bringing your conscious awareness into your sensations you allow volumes of new information which the mind can use to search for new habits, new behaviours - the possibility for change. Our skeletal muscles are controlled by our conscious awareness and can be influenced by our will. I will work with you holistically - sensitive to your whole self.
