As a Certified Advanced Rolfer working in Seattle and Port Orchard, WA, I have 12+ years of experience relieving pain and improving posture and athletic performance using Rolfing, craniosacral, and visceral work. I work with the fascia, the soft-tissue wrapping that compartmentalizes and "shrink-wraps" the body. This is what forms scar tissue after injury, limits range of motion, and can cause painful impingement. However, when the fascia is aligned, it communicates a sense of spacious oneness and fluidity through the body. Clients say this hands-on work is unlike anything they've tried, and highly effective for pain relief and structural change. A significant part of my practice is helping people recover from injuries - recent accidents or old chronic problems. (I'll work directly with your insurance company if it's a PIP auto claim or work injury.)

I love to share information about how the body works and help people find the alternative health resources to best serve them.

"Whole-body integration" - which means change and integration not just through the muscles and fascia but also at the deep cranial and visceral layers where patterns often are seated. I can work deep or light and still find the edge where my hands and your body are in a dialogue that supports transformation.

Contact with others involved in the mind-body-spirit interface for networking and referral sharing. My work is synergistic with yoga, pilates, psychotherapy, massage, personal training, chiropractic, osteopathy, acupuncture, naturopathy...

Student of the Diamond Approach since 1995

I started in alternative health in the 1980s, studying acupuncture and shiatsu in China and Japan (lived there 15 years). Then I took a detour through the corporate world that was interesting but ultimately sent me back towards my real vocation, working with people for transformation. For more than ten years now I've specialized in sophisticated systems of bodywork that have the potential to transform body-mind-spirit. I'm also a long-term meditator and student of the Diamond Approach.
