Our Services
-
Egoscue Method of Postural Alignment
Through postural alignment therapy, our goal is for you to attain a fully satisfying and energetic lifestyle free of pain and limitations. Our Postural Alignment Specialist (PAS) certified through the Egoscue University will use a program based on a series of stretches and gentle, corrective exercises designed to restore full, natural function to muscles and joints. It addresses chronic musculoskeletal pain without using drugs, surgery or manipulation.
-
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing lies at the heart of our practice. This therapeutic approach focuses on releasing and resolving the effects of trauma and stress held within the body. The approach looks at the biophysical rather than the psychological effects of trauma on the body and its nervous system.
People suffering from PTSD and Chronic pain can benefit greatly from this treatment process which addresses trauma from a body-centered approach rather than a psychological one.
-
Myofascial Release
My approach extends beyond addressing nervous system dysfunction.I incorporate myofascial release techniques to release tension and restrictions within the body’s connective tissue known as fascia, promoting improved mobility, posture, and overall well-being. Additionally, postural alignment is a key element of my methodology. By working with clients to achieve optimal alignment, I help alleviate chronic pain, improve chronic disfunctional movement patterns, and enhance body awareness.
-
Guided Meditation
Meditation serves as a powerful complement to my therapeutic modalities. I guide clients in cultivating mindfulness and presence, allowing them to deepen their connection with their bodies and inner selves. Through meditation, individuals develop a greater sense of self-awareness, relaxation, and clarity, which further supports their healing journey.
