History
Moving Body Massage resulted from a marriage of my reactions to the experience of relaxation, my fascination with the complexity, grace and beauty of the workings of the human body, and my awareness of both the magical and practical realities involved. Having worked as a professional actor for over 14 years, I have learned a lot about the demands we place on our bodies, and what we need to do to create and maintain balance. I trained in France at a school focused on physical theatre, movement, and creation. There I gained great insight into how the body works and how best to move through space for both dynamic and practical ends. Working with people to alleviate the stresses of life is very fulfilling to me. Whether helping an office worker release tension in their neck and shoulders, or an athlete training for their next race maintain their body's balance, every challenge is exciting to me.
Specialties
As a qualified and well-trained therapist, my goal is to provide relaxation and relief and help you gain a better understanding of your own body and what you can do to maintain your body's health and centering. Each session is tailored to your presenting conditions with an overall goal to treating the whole person. I use focused deep tissue work, and combine other modalities based on the presenting conditions. Cross fiber, stretching, and in the last year I've added modern cupping therapy which has yielded great results with clients. I started working in Washington, DC, check out our website for older client reviews, and here on Yelp for reviews from NYC clients. Presently I am located back in the DC area. If desired, I can travel to you for a comfortable home appointment.
