Empowerment, healing, transcendence. Meaningful connection, abundance. Deep, rich relationships. These qualities are at the core of Harmony Integrative Bodywork. I am a witness to a person’s healing process, a facilitator and vessel for energy and intuition to travel to my client in a flow. Compassionate, non-judgmental – we each heal in our own way and own time, and although we may seek out others to help us, ultimately it is our choice, our path, our work to do.
The goal of each session is to bring harmony and balance back to your body and mind, to bring awareness so that you can find ways of self-care that support your healing and vitality, in a safe and supportive environment that goes beyond the mat and table. Life is not easy; it can be full of suffering and cause us to protect ourselves in a myriad of ways, physically, mentally, and emotionally. While these coping mechanisms may help us survive, is there a way to find balance within them so we can be our authentic selves and fulfill our purpose for being here?
I come to this work with my own past suffering and defense mechanisms, plenty of my own therapy as a client, and a sense of humor and respect for the work. I’ve had surgeries, and healed from two serious injuries (one to my right knee/tibia and the other to my left ankle/talus), but not without consequences. I too have holding patterns, my hips aren’t even, and the ripple effects can be felt throughout my body, far from the injury sites. I have turned to massage, myofascial release, yoga, energywork, and more to alleviate the symptoms, and have found relief in all of these modalities. I also have anxiety and the occasional panic attack, and breathwork has been a tremendous ally in that arena. So, I come to my clients as someone who understands pain, frustration over reduced mobility/range of motion, chronic tightness. I believe it helps me be a better and more compassionate therapist. I love helping others and am thrilled and humbled to be doing this work.
