Soma Syntax Studio

Specialties

My practices goal is a safe and comfortable environment for pain relief, personal growth, sustainable body realignment, and recovery. I offer preventive, orthopedic and holistic health care. I strive to meet the body on its own terms. A session is a collaborative process, that includes attention and service to your feelings, sensations and whole person experience.

Integrative Manual Therapy addresses the dynamic anatomical and energetic interrelationships between connective tissues of three different systems: the musculoskeletal, visceral, and craniosacral. By integrating Rolfing, Visceral Manipulation, and Craniosacral Therapy we select a systems approach which results in organizing the body to a higher order.

Often a physical restriction in one system of the body affects another system. This is especially true with long-​term restrictions that gradually have spread local strain to other parts of the body. Then, a comprehensive approach to treating the body is the most effective.

Therapy approach:

The biggest change in my work in recent years has been in learning to work with a greater specificity in the viscera, nerves and vascular systems via the fasciae. This has allowed me to work with chronic and acute pain far more effectively than before. The fasciae, found at every level of the body, is independent from the nervous system and is referred to as a ‘peripheral brain’. The health of every person is reflected in large part in the fasciae.
