A Holistic, Nervous System-Focused Approach to Bodywork

​

With over 25 years of experience as both a massage therapist and a physical therapist, my approach to bodywork is deeply rooted in supporting the nervous system—specifically, activating the parasympathetic branch, often referred to as the "rest and digest" response. This helps shift the body out of a chronic stress state and into a place where healing can occur more naturally.

​

Rather than focusing solely on muscles, I take a more holistic approach—recognizing that the nervous system plays a vital role in how we feel, move, and heal.

​

Through techniques such as gentle strokes, rhythmic breathing guidance, craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and soothing touch, my sessions are designed to promote deep relaxation and regulation of the nervous system.

​

By intentionally activating the parasympathetic response, bodywork can help reduce stress hormones like cortisol, ease muscle tension, and create a sense of calm and safety in the body—something we often don’t realize we’ve been missing.

​

Chronic stress can increase pain sensitivity and contribute to tension and discomfort. Bodywork that calms the nervous system doesn’t just feel good—it supports real, lasting change by helping your body re-enter a state where it can rest, repair, and heal.

​

While nervous system support is my primary focus, I do incorporate deeper work to address specific areas of soreness or tightness when needed. However, I do not offer deep tissue massage to the entire body, as my work prioritizes creating balance, not force.
