Begin a Body-Learning Process

Who you are:

  • Someone with the time and resources to meet for weekly 1-hr sessions.

  • Someone who is curious and willing to put in the effort it takes to learn 

  • Someone who understands that being your body is a necessary part of being who you are 

  • Someone comfortable with touch

  • Someone who understands the only way out is through 

How to begin:

First think about something you want. I know, difficult, but important. Think about what you want so badly you’re willing to dedicate time and money towards it consistently. Some examples to get your mind moving:

  • I want to feel more at ease connecting with others

  • I want to be a successful artist

  • I want to stop feeling so defensive with my partner

  • I want to enjoy spending time with my kids

  • I want to stop being so scared about aging

  • I want to feel more open-hearted

  • I want to be able to express myself more fully

Once you have something you are really ready to work for in your mind and body, book a session using the calendar below. If you’re hesitant and want to talk it over, book a free consultation here.

What is a body-learning process?

A period of time (up to one year) where you are a dedicated student of your body meeting with me for weekly or biweekly bodywork sessions. The more frequent the more effective. 

Purpose: To develop your experience of yourself as a body. Meaning: your ability to hear and act upon your internal signals, to recognize and stop automatic patterns you learned in the past, to increase your ability to be passive and active when appropriate in your life, to increase your energy and ability to pay attention.

How: 

  • Learning to recognize and stop automatic habits in your mind and physicality that limit your ability to be present in your body. 

  • Learning to relax into discomfort and pain 

  • Learning to pay attention to physical reality 

  • Releasing the trapped energy in your body through physical touch and attention 

Why: This work has innumerable benefits. Here are some:

  • more vitality

  • pain and tension relief

  • increased ability to focus

  • increased ability to relax

  • more freedom to be who you are

Cost:

Initial session: 80 minutes @ $100-125

Standard Session: 60 minutes @ $85- $115

A note on trauma- When we experience trauma, we very wisely learn to adapt by disconnecting from our physical experience. As wise people we know the way to healing is back to the body. There are many modalities that help people get back to the body. The one I practice is a more direct approach than modalities such as Somatic Experiencing or Body-Mind Centering. If you have faced touch-based trauma that resurfaces in the present, I recommend consulting with me before booking and ensuring you have a psychotherapist to support you through the work.

This work is not psychotherapy, massage therapy or a substitute for medical treatment. It is a teaching method to increase your awareness of your body.
