Clients often come in with chronic pain, postural imbalances, restricted movement, pain that hasn’t responded to other care, or a general sense that their body isn’t working the way it should.

My work addresses the relationships among fascia, joints, nerves, viscera, and perceptual and regulatory patterns, helping your system return to a more organized, resilient state.

If, generally, massage focuses on muscles, chiropractic on joints, and PT on exercise-based rehabilitation, then
my work looks at how your whole system coordinates: the architecture of your connective tissue, the body’s internal tensional balance, and how the nervous system perceives and organizes movement.

This is not a protocol-based treatment. It is a responsive form of manual therapy that supports change where your body is already trying to adapt.

Sessions usually include initial structural analysis, hands-on work on the table, and seated or standing work to integrate changes, with movement guidance.

The pace varies — some work is subtle and refined, some involves deeper re-organization of tissue layers, and some focuses on improving how your body perceives and coordinates movement.

Each session follows what your system is asking for.

See my explanation of the Ten Series here.

The Ten Series is a great option for many clients, but it is not the only way I work. Some clients benefit from a structured progression; others need a more individualized path. If you’re not sure what’s best, we can usually make a determination after an initial session.

It depends on your goals and your body. Some people notice meaningful change in 1–3 sessions. Others choose a longer arc of work — 6–10 sessions or more — to address deeper patterns, build resilience, and maintain functional improvements. I can give you a sense of what to expect after your first session.

Some deeper work can feel intense or unfamiliar, but it should always feel safe and productive.
Most clients describe the sensations as relieving, clarifying, or “opening,” even when the work is deep.
You are in control of pressure and pacing at all times.

To me, energy is one way of understanding reality and is inseparable from everything else. I have spent a long time with internal energy work because of my Zen training. I have also studied SourcePoint Therapy, a healing system developed by the Rolfer and Zen practitioner Bob Schrei that develops concrete ways to work with energy to unwind deep patterns in the body. As always, I work on the level called for by the client and their system.

I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill upon request for clients whose insurance reimburses for manual therapy under out-of-network benefits. Payment is due at the time of the session.

If you’ve tried many approaches without lasting change, or if you’re interested in working at the root of your patterns instead of managing symptoms, this work is often a good fit.

A consultation or first session usually makes it clear very quickly whether your system responds well to this approach.

Yes. Many clients come in for performance, alignment, structural efficiency, better breathing, stress resilience, working through stuck psychological, emotional, or energetic patterns, or simply to feel more at home in their bodies.

Pain relief is a common result, but it’s not the only reason people seek this work.
