About my practice

 People come to me because of their bodies.  People come for a wide variety of reasons.  Pain is often a motivator, from posture, sleep, use or misuse. 

People also come to me because they feel uncomfortable in some way in their bodies, local joint uses, confusion round breath, proper exercise,  or support for chronic chronic anxiety or disease. 

I bring support to the body and inform the mind to also better support the body. 


Everyone ultimately personally manages their own body, it's challenges and recovery.  Sometimes it can be overwhelming and the demands on the body require outside interventions in the form of touch, facilitated movement and education. 


Do you need to deepen your relationship with your body?  


Do you want to better understand your body's signals and become a better partner? 


I have had many clients come to me because  have worked extensively with medical conditions such as post surgery, joint replacements, MS, Parkinsons, Lupis and cancer. 

"The mind is like the wind and the body like the sand: if you want to see how the wind is blowing, you can look at the sand."

— Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen

Ways to Connect

Embodied Workshops & Retreats

A private session begins with your body. What need is presenting itself? We mix observation, assessments exercises techniques and hands on myofascial release to balance the body. I use the tools of personal training, yoga, Thai Massage, Pilates and Body Mind Centering to address your specific needs.

I contribute to, and produce small group retreats in and around the Santa Cruz Mountains.  I bring my embodied focus to help groups connect with themselves in nature, and practice body-based methods of rebalancing individually and collectively.  

Individuals can make arrangements for solo retreats at Sacred Earth.
