In my journey through bodywork in the last 13 years, I’ve been drawn deeper and deeper into the mystery of the human system.  From muscle and fascia therapy, energywork, and following intuition at the table, these different approaches keep me excited to “listen” in each next session, and “invite” a more easeful way of being.  I find myself most of service, most rooted on my path, when working with women.  There’s something about holding space for women, especially those over 40, that seems powerful and intriguing to me.  

I envision supporting women on their journey, in their unique “expression,” so that “the world may have it!”  This quote has stayed with me since I found it as a teenager, and I’m pleased to share it in celebration of Your Inner Light:

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and it will be lost. The world will not have it.”
― Martha Graham
