I’m just going to be blunt here: you can’t overpower and smash chronic tension out of your body. Doesn’t matter if you find the strongest, smartest, most skillful bodyworker on the planet. Why is that? You’re working against your biology in two key ways: (1) you and your nervous system have constructed that tension for a very solid set of reasons that smashing won’t eliminate, and (2) your fascia, the stuff that holds you together, is designed to provide you more stability & adaptability than human hands can change.

Go Deeper: The Alchemy of Rolfing & Hakomi

Sometimes the gateway between years of chronic pain and living pain-free is a skillfully expressed “F*** you!” I’m not talking about the cathartic feeling of letting off some steam, I’m talking about helping clients connect to the very specific experience that offers them their unique gateway to healing. Combining Rolfing & Hakomi truly explores the mind-body connection and how it influences our healing challenges.

Interested in “deep work”? It’s not about more pressure. Leaning respectfully into the place where body and mind interface? That’s depth.

Unearthing Your Soma Sapien Wisdom

To help my clients solve their pain or life path challenges, I guide them on their journey to becoming a Soma Sapien – a person living a fully embodied life, aligned with the deep wisdom that lies within the connection between body, mind, and spirit. Helping them develop their body-centric Emotional, Kinesthetic, and Self Intelligences is the foundation for unraveling where they’re stuck and attaining the goals we’re working toward together.
