Private Sessions
Working Together
Your body guides our sessions. Private movement coaching addresses mobility limitations and areas of chronic pain specific to your unique situation.
A wholistic approach to movement health is hard to find. In private sessions, we’ll address imbalances in muscle tone, fascial network shifts and restrictions, and circulation of Organ Qi. My job is to lead you deeper into your physicality to help you experience its natural ease. Functional movement coaching will be included as needed so you develop skill in moving well. Clients always remain clothed.
Free 20-minute consults available if you have questions or would like to meet me prior to booking a private session.
Simple Problems | $75.00
In a 45-minute Simple Problems session, we'll address mobility limitations affecting a specific region of the body. Examples include shoulder, elbow, knee, or minor joint pain. We can also address loss of muscle tone in the upper or lower limbs. We’ll rely primarily on Dynamic Stretching to rebalance muscle tension, improve range of motion, and open circulation to the area.
These sessions are available as needed. Chronic hip issues or conditions affecting multiple regions of the body are better addressed in Comprehensive Sessions.
Comprehensive Session | $150.00
If you are experiencing complex movement impairments or conditions affecting multiple regions of the body, I offer 90-minute Comprehensive Sessions incorporating multiple modalities, further explained below. In these sessions we will work in-depth to increase mobility at multiple layers of tissue over time. In order to create systemic change, multiple sessions are needed.
Comprehensive Sessions can be purchased individually or as a Five-Session Package. Ongoing clients may purchase additional packages or single sessions as needed. You’ll notice immediate improvements in mobility with deeper changes sustained over time. Once a new baseline in tissue health has been reached, maintenance becomes less frequent.
You’re welcome to schedule a free 20-minute online consult before booking your first session to determine if my approach feels like a good fit.
Reiki Treatment | $120.00
I now offer treatments in the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition. The standard treatment in this lineage consists of a series of hand positions covering head, abdomen, and back. You can read more details about this method in the More About My Modalities section below.
More about my modalities
Dynamic Stretching
This unique method adds muscle engagement and continuous movement to stretching. Activating muscle tissue significantly increases the effectiveness of a stretch, elongating muscle fibers rather than straining ligaments. This increases range of motion while protecting the integrity of your joints. You’ll be guided through a series of movement patterns that will stretch and strengthen muscle groups specifically where you need it.
There’s physical relief in rebalancing areas of excess muscle tension and weakness. You no longer have to compensate. When tension is balanced, good posture becomes natural. We tailor sessions to your level of fitness, from gentle and restorative to athletic. This method requires active participation, so do come prepared to be physically engaged!
I recommend Dynamic Stretching for folks whose mobility has been impacted by old injuries or surgery,* those with nagging “problem spots” or chronic tenseness, and folks who have difficulty inhabiting their physical body.
*All tissue needs to be well-healed and clients cleared for exercise by their physician.
Fluid Movement
The source of your body’s movement is fluid. The fascial layers encasing all the body’s structures are lubricated by bound water. This viscosity creates glide, the ability of tissue to slide against itself and enable all motion, from walking and lifting to breathing.
Over time, internally held tension decreases the natural circulation patterns in the body, leading to tissue dehydration and movement impairment. Fluid Movement sessions offer practices to help you gradually soften internal holding patterns while increasing skeletal positional awareness (proprioception) and rehydrating tissue. You’ll learn to follow your own impulses for movement, expressing from the core rather than repeating learned behaviors. Over time, old patterns begin to dissolve and new possibilities emerge.
I recommend Fluid Movement when someone wants skills to address tension and reactivity patterns for themselves. Please note it often takes more than one session for this approach to take full effect. Home practice is necessary to get the most benefit.
Reiki - Usui Shiki Ryoho Lineage
Sometimes deep rest is necessary. Reiki is a Japanese folk-healing method consisting of a series of hand placements on the head, abdomen, and back. Ki (Japanese) or Qi (Chinese) flows through the practitioner’s hands to nourish and support the organs. You may experience warmth or other subtle sensations as qi stimulates your body’s natural self-healing capacities.
Within Chinese medicine, it’s understood that the body already contains qi. Receiving Reiki helps you access the innate vitality that is naturally present at the most subtle level of your physiology. The stillness and quiet space of a treatment allows the body to fully disarm and is deeply nourishing to the nervous system.
I recommend Reiki in cases where the body has been in a highly activated, fight-or-flight state for a prolonged period of time. Chronic conditions often result in parts of the body being cut off from circulation of Blood and Qi. Reiki offers the most gentle approach to restoring movement and can be tolerated by people with severely impaired mobility.
