| 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 . . ." |
