We gain aliveness when we embark on a journey toward balance that is our gift to the world.

My Background

Like many of us, I noticed that when I was young, I was drawn very seriously to movement. Something about movement, dance in particular, I loved. I loved seeing people larger then life being dazzling, athletic and versatile. I was delighted when I learned how to dance and perform because it made me feel good! It was there for me to create, for me to follow. It’s still with me.

It is the conversation, both inner and outer, that interests me most. The feeling that there is more to this than we as a culture are talking about. The possibility to have a reconnection with natural posture really is occurring all the time, under the radar, inviting possibility for change, replenishment and discovery. Natural holism is revealed when trusting gravity is always workable.

Over the last 12 years, I have created a Rolfing practice that teaches people about where the tightness and limitations come from within their bodies and how to begin to try something different; to connect with the surroundings when preparing for and experiencing movement.  That difference invites true perception; how our sensation contributes to our awareness and invites our participation. How new choices can be reprogramed for lasting and effective outcomes with more aliveness and less pain and limitations.

My practice weaves together structural integration (Rolfing Structural Integration +), energy medicine (SourcePoint Therapy™ and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy™) and somatic movement education (Body Mind Centering™ and Rolf Movement™) to offer an approach to wellness that places education at the center of one’s health and wellbeing.

My somatic movement classes, workshops, and private sessions are rooted in experiential learning—inviting students and clients into a lived, felt relationship with their bodies. I offer a foundational framework that supports people in learning how to help themselves, moving toward greater softness, ease, and agency in their embodied experience.

My work with individuals and groups is holistic, attentive, and individually attuned. I create spaces where people feel seen and heard, supported in their own unfolding process of healing, and empowered to participate actively in meaningful, lasting transformation.
