What I Offer
Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE)
These 60-minute, online sessions use exercises developed by Dr. David Berceli to initiate neurogenic tremors in the body. Neurogenic tremors are a natural part of the human nervous system, meant to help the body discharge energy after stressful experiences. In a TRE session, tremors move through the body to release tension, disrupt pain, and help the body/person feel more alive + awake. Clients learn to self-regulate during the process, staying in the present moment and cultivating a bodily sense of safety while shaking.
I practice TRE with individuals and with groups of 2-3 people. All first-time TRE clients must purchase a 4 Session Package, and should expect to schedule sessions each week for a month. I recommend this format to returning clients as well. Individual sessions and 2 and 6 session packages are also available. Once I am confident in your ability to self-regulate while shaking, I encourage you to use TRE without my support if you would like to.
Online Self Care
These 60-minute, online educational sessions provide you the skills to solve pain and tension on your own at home. I teach individuals how to care for their own bodies; and I teach friends, families and partners how to use bodywork to connect with and care for each other. I encourage clients to purchase a multi-session package to help build a habit of regular, therapeutic body engagement. Individual session and package options are available.
Hands-On Bodywork
When it’s warm enough in spring 2021, I will offer 30-minute, outdoor sessions where I use therapeutic touch to help people find ease within their bodies.
Modalities
Barnes Myofascial Release uses prolonged holds to release tension in the body’s fascial matrix, improving joint motion, organ function, and essential fluid movement like blood, lymph and cerebrospinal fluid.
Shiatsu translates to "finger-pressure" in Japanese. Kneading, pressing, vibrating, and stretching techniques restore optimal nervous system function, energetic balance, and proper skeletal alignment.
