WelcomeI believe these are exciting times to be a healthcare professional as we are experiencing an explosion of new research around our neurophysiology and anatomy. By implementing these new findings we can take better care of ourselves. I also believe that we are here to evolve individually and collectively . . . and that we are all connected. We are multi-dimensional beings of body, mind and spirit. So the better care I take of myself, the better the collective is and the healthier the earth will be.
I experienced my first professional massage when I was injured six weeks before running my second marathon. I was devastated and booked weekly sessions so I would run that marathon. At the time I was working in the technology industry and I wasn't happy because it didn't spark my passion. During those weekly sessions I talked my massage therapist's ear off wondering about massage and to make a long story short, I finished the marathon (3:26:18) and enrolled in massage school 6 months later. My passion was ignited! I went from the tech arena into a more organic and creative work and lifestyle for myself (not to mention that my own healing journey was accelerated). My practice has evolved too as I now practice Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Somatic Experiencing. I am a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, New York State licensed massage therapist and certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Within the domain of energy medicine I am a practitioner of Reiki and Esoteric Healing. I am also a certified Realization Process meditation teacher. I have extensive training in the areas of pre & perinatal and developmental challenges as well. I have 35 years of experience in my private practice working with a variety of people holistically - body, mind and spirit. I actively study advanced Craniosacral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, bodywork, psychological well-being and meditation as I continue to develop as a practitioner. In addition to my private practice I facilitate Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Somatic Experiencing trainings as part of the assistant team for Stillpoint CST, Somatic Practice and SEI supporting student practitioners in their learning. My personal journey is the foundational experience from which I work and teach. I can only teach what I have experienced myself. My own self-care is a priority in my life as I continue to evolve. Physically, I enjoy an active lifestyle (indoor cycling, hiking, various movement practices), and cooking (& eating of course). Psycho-spiritually, my inner work is the avenue for deep exploration, transformation and integration (psychotherapy, touch therapy, varied energy based therapies and meditation). All are welcome. This include all colors, sexes, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, national origins, body types, abilities, ages and economic status. Inevitably, I will make mistakes, but I am committed to our ongoing and organic processes of enacting inclusion and sustainability for all. I identify as a white, non-binary, genderqueer and my pronouns are they/them.
