Reconnect with your body`s natural capacities for resilience and healing.
Holistic Medicine caught my attention after I saw how Western Medicine generally provides one-size-fits-all treatments based on data for primarily white men. Often, our relationship with our body is fraught with confusion and misinformation. Many traditional cultures have medicinal wisdom for all stages of life, and Western Medicine has learned from this. Still, it doesn`t help us understand how we can assist our bodies in maintaining wellness.
This is where I come in. I love helping people find their personal user`s manual. Our body always communicates with us, but in a language we haven`t learned or prefer not to listen to. Once we learn to listen and appreciate our bodies` signals, our minds can relax, and our bodies will become trusted allies and precious homes for peace, inspiration, and aliveness. This, I believe, is our birthright.
Posture Matters—our bodies are finely tuned instruments. Misalignment and chronic postural compensations change our healthy, energetic flow. Additionally, energetic holding patterns from injury, developmental/ systemic social wounding, and environmental stress wreak havoc on our natural well-being.
Access to Health Information— Taking responsibility for our wellness means learning to listen and not numb pain, discomfort, or emotional upset symptoms.
Technology and Isolation– we have evolved to co-regulate with nature, other humans, and animals. Technology has blinded us to our capacities to give and receive support to this Earth and the many relatives we share it with.
I work with people where they are. Whether in physical or emotional pain, I help you learn what your body needs to release tension so your physiology can do its innate job. You can reclaim your innate aliveness, joy, and creativity.
