As a structure, the body is a matrix - all parts are connected. As an ecosystem, the body is in constant communication with itself and its environment. It is influenced by other bodies, by time, space, climate. It is the vehicle for consciousness, the house of our emotions, and is its own intelligence.

With each session, we aim for pain and the symptoms of illness to diminish. We also work to prevent future disease. The ultimate goal of our work together, however, is to bring more beauty to your life, to help you approach your unique life with more vitality and flexibility, and to see you thrive more and more as an ecosystem in a greater ecosystem of community, time, and space.

In my practice, I emphasize curiosity and deep listening. Grounded in classical Chinese medicine, we acknowledge our temporary, momentary perspective in time and space and together, use our intuition and imagination to ask and answer questions of your life in your body in this time and space on earth. What is happening in your life? What is the gesture of this happening? Is it up and out? Curved inward? Is it hot? Does it wake you at 3am or drain you by 5pm? What does it feel like to talk about? Where does it feel like this?

Through this inquiry, which sometimes need not take too long, we find a way to begin. Perhaps an image emerges suggesting what the body wants in this moment, how it may be soothed or expressed, what it might shed or fortify. This becomes the treatment. We begin, let life in, and then begin again and again.
