History
I've slowly built a clientele in Petaluma by word-of-mouth. It's nice to read what they are saying online. I do keep my hours of actual hands-on work to six hours a day maximum, so I don't wear myself out. The reason the hours of service offered are expansive is to accommodate client schedules. It's been interesting figuring out how to work hours that facilitate maximum benefit for the client and still take care of myself. That is the history, of how I've managed to be a one-person business here for 20 years and not burn out.
Specialties
I find your body's stabilizing patterns, areas of congestion, and other anomalies that normally develop from stress. Then I work with your responses using hands-on therapeutic techniques, to unwind tense muscles and restore flow. An integrative style combines basic techniques (Swedish, Thai, deep tissue) with more specific patterning systems (Shiatsu, touch for health, Chapman's reflexes, etc.) and I include energy work (polarity, Ortho-bionomy) with movement (Traeger, MFR positional release, yoga therapy).
