Body reading 
Anxiety, IBS, migraines, depression , sleep disturbances – these are all signs that your nervous system is off-kilter and needs some adjusting. As a Somatic Experiencing practitioner and Feldenkrais Method practitioner it’s my job to help you develop the self-care tools you need to keep your nervous system healthy and regulated, because when your nervous system is running smoothly – your whole mind/body system is too! If a traumatic event or on-going stress has left you feeling stuck, in-pain, or hopeless you are in the right place. When we work together you’ll experience powerful neurobiological techniques in a safe and secure environment so you can finally overcome your condition at its root.

YOUR POWERFUL NERVOUS SYSTEM:
When you work on the deep level of your nervous system transformational things can happen. This is because your nervous system controls all the automatic functions of your body – digestion, respiration, circulation, etc. – so by working with this one all-powerful system you’ll be making improvements EVERYWHERE. Clients who come see me to help with their depression often notice that their skin has cleared up, their bowel movements are healthier, and most importantly – that their relationship to stress, to themselves, and to other people has completely shifted.
HOW DOES A NERVOUS SYSTEM BECOME DYSREGULATED?
Have you ever experienced a traumatic event like a car accident or a near-death experience? Did you grow up in a tense home? Were you ever hospitalized? Is your day-to-day life very stressful and/or draining? If you answered YES to any of these questions there’s a good chance your nervous system is dysregulated.
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but some of us have experienced more than our fair share. When we experience too much stress, whether it’s on-going or it happens all it once in the form of a traumatic event, it’s often too much to bear and our bodies and minds shut down and dissociate. The huge amounts of survival energy racing through our systems isn’t released properly and we get stuck in survival mode. Our wiring becomes faulty – we often perceive threats when there isn’t any, experience a constant sense of discomfort, feel our heart rate spike out of nowhere, and avoid social situations because there’s a part of us that just doesn’t feel safe in large groups.
HOW I USE COMPASSION & NEUROBIOLOGY TO HEAL:
I’m trained in two incredible healing modalities that work on the deep level of the nervous system – Somatic Experiencing and the Feldenkrais Method. These practices are deeply rooted in biology and neuroscience and are designed to literally rewire the way you respond to stress, the way you interact with your environment, and the way you experience your emotions and sensations.
But in order to heal from physical or emotional pain you need more than the power of science – you need the power of compassion. When we work together you’ll experience a safe and compassionate environment where you’ll have the support you need to explore your pain without fear. We’ll get to the bottom of what’s holding you back (yes, a trip down memory lane might be needed), so you can finally regain your sense of vitality and/or bring light into areas of your body that have been living in darkness for awhile. You’ll also learn how to become more compassionate with yourself which will help you heal faster and become more resilient in the future.
YOUR CUSTOMIZED HEALING PROGRAM:
If there’s one thing I’ve learned since opening my private practice it’s this – everybody is unique and no two people have experienced the exact same thing. Even identical twins will interpret the same adverse experience differently. This is why my methods are far from cookie cutter, and why I take the time to get to know the real you – your past, your quirks and tendencies, and why you’re wired the way you are. From there I’ll guide you through customized neuro-sensory techniques to help you break through your pain once and for all.
