Integration
is an on-going process of forming, coordinating or blending into a
functioning and unified whole.
This occurs on many levels
~ physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual ~
each of which are interwoven.
This is what I call this "moving into balance . . ."

My own focus now in doing bodywork is primarily on the structural and
biomechanical aspects of this process ~ I work to release specific
patterns of strain in muscles, joints and their connective tissue so that
you can move with greater ease and freedom. That said, I am guided it
this by striving to see each body as a whole and appreciating how it
can more fully expresses that individual.

As we move more into harmony our spinal axis and midline, it becomes
easier to connect with what Antero Ali has called "vertical sources"
above and below us. We may feel more stable and grounded, and at the
same time, lighter and more uplifted. From this strong and centered
core, it becomes possible to relate more authentically to others we
meet on the "horizontal plane."

My ultimate goal is to help you feel more
"at home" in your body,  better able to fulfill your potential and move
towards ways of living that are more balanced, graceful and
self-expressive . . . As my Yoga teacher, Jean Couch,
expressed many years ago:

"May your feet be supple
to feel the earth beneath you...
May your legs be strong
to take you where you need to go . . .
May your back be flexible
to support you in all that you do . . .
May your arms and hands be free
to express all that you are . . .
May your heart be open
so you can love and be loved . . .
May your voice be clear
so you can speak your truth . . .
May your eyes and ears be alert
so you can recognize the truth of others . . ."
