Healing Therapies

I utilize Craniosacral Therapy, Iyengar Yoga and Insight Meditation to help others discover and relate to the physical emotional and intellectual aspects of themselves. Each approach is inclusive in and of itself; however, when you incorporate all of them into your life, the affects are enhanced and longer lasting. You will have more energy, clarity and more peace of mind!

Craniosacral Biodynamics

Dr. William Sutherland, the founder of Cranial Osteopathy, identified a basic energy he referred to as the "Breath of Life", which he and others believe to be the primary ordering principle of the human being. It is present in the fluids, tissues and bones, all aspects of the body, and is expressed in the core; the brain, spinal cord, etc. The intention of this therapy, done with gentle hands-on work, is to re-establish this vital force wherever it has been impeded by traumatic forces or events, illness, even embryological and genetic factors.

Insight Meditation - Mindfulness

Taught in the classic Theravadan tradition, Vipassana Bhavana, "the development of insight", embodies the essence of the teachings of the Buddha. This path to self awareness is extraordinary in its simplicity, its lack of dogma, and above all, its results. I will provide instruction and guidance to help you cultivate an effective meditation practice. This may be included with other treatments as required.

Iyengar Yoga

BSK Iyengar

I use yoga as a technique for treatment of chronic issues, and only offer private theraputic sessions utilizing equipment specifically designed by BKS Iyengar.

Synonymous with Hatha yoga, the Iyengar tradition is perhaps the most popular in America, if not worldwide. This vigorous style emphasizes the development of stamina, flexibility, balance and concentration. This method requires precision in the execution of positions and meticulous anatomical alignment. In his teaching, B.K.S. Iyengar encourages the integration of yoga into everyday living; family life, health, even dying, positioning yoga practice as a true union of body, mind and spirit.
