I’ve held a private bodywork practice for 26 years. I offer structural bodywork and somatic movement therapy with an emphasis on injury treatment and prevention through hands-on sessions and guided movement repatterning. I work primarily with structural imbalances, postural awareness, scoliosis, as well as visceral manipulation, energy medicine, craniosacral therapy, scar work and embodied anatomy.

You have choices: many people come wanting touch for the whole session. That’s fine. Others are intrigued by the process of movement repatterining. Before we start your first session, we talk about these options and decide what’s best for you. .

You can have integrative movement reeducation as part of your hands-on sessions to empower you to develop your own awareness of better ways to regulate your nervous system and your functional movement choices.

My training includes my basic training of Rolfing Structural Integration with Duffy Allen, and Rolf Movement with Kevin Franks, Caryn McHose, and Per Haarland, Aline Newton and Rebecca Mills(2020-2024), as well as my ongoing Advanced Rolfing training and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy with Duffy Allen, Ray McCall, Carol Agnessess, John Martine and Ron Murry. I studied Embodied Ethics with Christiane Pelmas (2022) and received my advanced training in SourcePoint Energy Medicine from Bob Shrei and Donna Thomson (2015).

I maintain a deep ongoing practice in somatic embodiment and embryology with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. I also have studied Continuum Movement with Bonnie Gintis, Susan Harper, Rebecca Lawson, and Robin Becker. A graduate from Moving On Center, I learned from Martha Eddy and Carol Swan among others (1999-2024). I had the honor to teach somatic movement at Community College of Vermont (2008-2011) Middlebury College (2019), Main Street Landing and Being/Body Somatic Arts (2024).
