Systemic and Mind Body Counseling:

“We rarely hear the music but we’re all dancing to it.” - Rumi

Clients are invited to embark on their own journey of self-discovery. By spending quality time with all parts of our selves, from body sensations to belief systems, as well as relationship, family and ancestral patterns, we open to the possibility of making the invisible visible, moving out of constant reactivity into the realm of clear choice. This journey also means celebrating our humanity, courage, problem-solving abilities, and sense of humor.

Chiropractic, Bodywork, and Hands-On Healing:

"Soul and Body, I suggest, react sympathetically upon each other. A change in the state of the Soul produces a change in the shape of the Body; and conversely, a change in the shape of the Body, produces a change in the shape of the Soul."
- Aristotle

A chiropractor since the mid-80’s, I have often joked that my specialty is “sports and spiritual injuries”. The human body, and its many paths to healing, provides an infinite source of fascination. By choosing from a range of therapies, each accessing a different way in to the body mind, we explore the continuum of experience from the less subtle to the more subtle. Modalities offered include deep tissue myofascial therapy, chiropractic, craniosacral therapy, hypnotherapy, hands-on healing*, energy awareness techniques, and guided imagery.

*Hands-On Healing works with the human energy field, which carries information about the mind, body and spirit. By increasing the amount of life force (or "chi") in our energy systems, we increase awareness and encourage movement towards healing, awakening, and realizing our heart's deepest longing. As a practitioner of "energy medicine," (a new name for a timeless set of ideas) I work with pain as blocked energy. In itself, this blocked area is neither good nor bad. Instead it is energy that is not flowing freely. Our belief that pain is evil, cruel, or out to get us adds another level of stress to an already stressed system. The energy blocked in "pain," once released, becomes energy that works for our well-being.

Sessions are intended to support you in healing physical, emotional, mental and/or spiritual complaints.

Healing may be thought of as restoring the dynamic of our bodies, hearts and minds to serve our deepest Spiritual longings for life’s journey. To the extent that we have lost touch with our longing, healing includes its restoration to our awareness. My work is intended to be inclusive of other healing work that you may undertake, including conventional health care.

One-on-one sessions offer an individualized process, a focused opportunity to connect deeply with your own physical body and explore specific energy blocks and movement patterns.

Confidentiality. We may discuss the major stresses in your life, your belief systems, health history, your childhood, and other issues, which may have an influence on your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual well-being. These discussions will be kept confidential, to the extent permitted by law.

Private sessions, in person, usually last about 50 minutes. A first session may last longer to accommodate questions, and getting to know more about one another.
