Body and Energy Work is available for all ages (including infants, senior citizens, women during pregnancy and labor and everyone in between) and for all conditions.

Modalities:
Craniosacral Therapy, Massage Therapy, Reiki, Shamanic Journeying, Guided Imagery, Applied Eco Psychology. I used to describe the modalities I use separately and in depth to give a more comprehensive understanding of each. However, I rarely use the tools of my trade in isolation and it no longer makes sense to describe them in this way. 

What I do first in a session is listen.
I listen to the things you are telling me verbally, I listen to the ways your body is speaking to me and I listen to the guides that are present and guiding us.

Then I find the silence.
"No thought, no action, no movement, total stillness: only thus can one manifest the true nature and law of things from within and unconsciously, and at last become one with heaven and earth."  Lao Tzu 

In most forms of body and energy work, the best place we can be is still. When we are still, we drop our expectations, we let go of the ego, and we don't move until we are moved.

Now I respond.
The body will speak about which ways it needs to move and how it would like to unfold. I never know where it is going to take us. Some sessions are very physical. There is a lot of tissue motion, unwinding and pressure that needs to occur. Other sessions require a following of energetic patterns, holding of space and releasing of patterns. Sometimes I find  we have entered into that shamanic territory where soul questions and other entities are present to speak with and work with. I don't believe anyone has all the answers and I certainly don't believe that I do. What I do enjoy is the journey into these spaces and the things learned along the way.

Trust.
I trust the wisdom of our bodies and the earth and the ability to heal and love more deeply.I trust the sensations in my body and the yin and yang of pain and elation as equally necessary. I trust we are all in this together and the more moments of stillness and compassion we can share, the better.
