Movement Fundamentals will now be a 3-part series that runs twice per year in spring and fall. Saturday intensives will take place once a month, with supported weekly practice via zoom during the weeks between. You’ll experience greater continuity of practice instruction and a more robust opportunity to restore healthy, easeful movement.

We’ll focus on relearning natural walking patterns, how to raise the arms without shoulder tension, mobilize the spine, and find your core. When these fundamental movements become instinctual and fluid, you will have come a long way toward reducing pain, preventing injury and joint damage, and feeling happier about being a body.

Save the Dates!

Spring Session Saturdays: February 21, March 14, April 18

Fall Session Saturdays: August 15, September 19, October 17

Beginning March 1, 2026, I am now offering an opportunity to study with me in-depth. This 9-month, closed cohort program will meet every other Sunday afternoon at my home or local natural areas. This offering is specifically tailored for those struggling with chronic conditions. Our focus will be restoring movement at the deepest levels of the body and facilitating the circulation of Qi and fluid through all layers of tissue. This approach transforms the terrain of the body and allows our natural self-healing capacity to emerge.

We will cultivate a village culture, in which healing is simultaneously self-initiated and communally held. It is also an opportunity for me to share in greater depth the frameworks that guide my approach to restoring the body at a systemic level. The cohort will be open to eight students, selected by application. More details to come!

You can sign up now for the Q&A call on February 8, 2026.

When it comes to Reiki, lineage matters. This practice of Japanese natural healing was brought to Hawai’i from Japan by Hawayo Takata, with the help of her teacher, Chujiro Hayashi, in the 1930s. Takata Sensei began teaching on the West Coast of the United States in the 1970s, well after the death of her teacher. Over the last 50 years the practice has grown and spread worldwide.

In order to experience the depth of this tradition, it is helpful to remain close to its roots. Reiki as a whole has undergone innumerable changes in the hands of western practitioners, and has branched off in many directions. At its heart, it remains a refreshingly simple, down-to-earth practice that allows anyone, regardless of past experience, to access the innate healing capacity we all possess.

As a second generation practitioner, I am currently undergoing my master candidacy training with Johannes Reindl, the current Lineage Bearer of Usui Shiki Ryoho, the Usui System of Natural Healing. As part of my preparation, we will be co-teaching a First Degree class here in Corvallis, OR, sometime in May or June of 2026.

Class location and exact dates are still TBD. Please note this event will not be publicly advertised. You will need to be on my mailing list or personally in contact with me to receive updates. In the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition, preparing for mastery is an apprenticeship process, with no clear end date and no guarantees. I welcome your interest and support as I prepare to become a teacher in this tradition.
