Bodywork
2 minute tune-ups
I am known for my hug-justments (a portmanteau of hug and adjustment) : a technique I developed which simultaneously grounds and elevates the receiver – for many recipients hug-justments cause an adjustment and cracking of the spine and are also massage hug which often leaves the receiver in a state of appreciative relaxation and reconnected with their bodiesb
90+ minute sessions
my work draws on swedish deep tissue, thai, acupressure, physical therapy, and contact improvisation. I go deep, facilitating not only physical release of tissues, but restructuring and grounding. In my sessions, embodied memories can be brought to the fore, and I am comfortable and open to working through what may surface, both with a tender physical touch and verbal support until you until you feel like a new body bereft of old patterns which no longer serve you.
turn your event into a treasured memory – book me for performance healing, bodywork, & hug-justments for your gathering ~
cuddling /platonic touch sessions & mentoring
Loving touch is a basic human need. Before I overcame self-judgement and the current cultural climate surrounding touch (typically limiting it to contact between relatives and monogamous intimate sexual partnerships) I was touch-starved due to lack of knowledge of my hunger and underdeveloped ability to express my desire. Slowly, over time, I cracked open my shell and challenged the status-quo and now am passionate about helping others do the same. Through detailed non-judgmental feedback I can teach you touch literacy, how to express your needs and boundaries, how to respect the boundaries of another compassionately, and how to inquire about their needs in a no/low stress environment.
professional listening:
I combine my academic background in human development and psychological services and my training as an empathetic listener to empower your highest self-realization & co-create an environment bursting with inspired activation ~ I specialize in integrating transformative experiences (timeless, meditative, psychedelic, psychological ’emergence-ies’) into daily life, group dynamics, and creating & maintaining supportive cooperative living structures. My presence is supportive, open, non-reactive and receptive & I continue to expand my container through counselling a diversity of clients.
workshops :
contact improvisation – my personal passion for the form lies at the intersection of contact improvisation and bodywork with a focus on mutual enjoyment for both giver & recipient. I also draw upon my wide repertoire of experiential exercises to allow participants to discover new impetuses and movement forms.
