Our mission with this work is to provide a safe and healing environment for both our individual practices and our dual therapy sessions. We draw upon our combined 25+ years of therapeutic bodywork and the healing arts in order to provide the highest quality care for our clients. We wish to work with clients who are willing to engage in their treatment program by being present in their bodies in session, show diligence in their home exercise program and, when needed, address thought and behavioral patterns that contribute to a successful outcome. Since healing is often a multi-dimensional process, we consider ourselves a resource for other modalities and therapists that may be necessary to include in your wellness program.

Since effective long term pain relief requires a joint effort we want our clients to expect a therapist that will work with them as a team to discover what is needed verses someone who promises to "fix" them. We are looking for clients who want to take an active role in their healing process, who are willing to turn the eye inward and look within themselves for their inner wisdom and who are ready to come to a new place of understanding of their physical body and themselves as a whole.

We both follow a few simple maxims in our work:

We can only take clients as far as we are willing to go ourselves: We have each been through significant healing processes and continue to receive this work ourselves and dedicate ourselves to self treatment and a healthy lifestyle.

We will never force therefore we will never injure: Instead of trying to force the system, we mindfully and energetically engage with the tissue and wait for it to soften and change in order to release restrictions and holding patterns. We have learned through our training and through receiving this work ourselves that in order to release holding patterns in the body that cause us pain we need to communicate with the body with a touch and energy that feels safe to the body verses forcing and adding to a pattern of resistance.

Find the symptom and look elsewhere for the cause: Due to the nature of the fascial system as a continuous web the symptom may be quite distant from the actual cause. By looking at the body as a whole instead of separated parts, we can identify patterns and connections that can lead us to the cause in order to find a therapeutic outcome to the problem.

It is our daily mission and honor to help improve the lives of others through exploration, self awareness and empowerment.
