Every body is different, and so is every session. I don't follow a set routine or protocol, because what one person needs might be very different from what another person needs - and even what your own body needs can change from one session to the next.
 

We'll start by talking about what brings you in, your health history, and anything else you feel is important for me to know. From there, I'll assess how your body is moving and where I notice restrictions or imbalances. I don't just focus on the area where you're experiencing discomfort, because where something shows up isn't necessarily where it originates.
 

My work is informed by European osteopathy and its principles, which means I look at the body as an interconnected whole. Muscles, joints, fascia, internal organs, and the nervous system all influence each other. Sometimes a restriction in one area can contribute to discomfort somewhere entirely different.

During the session, I use a variety of hands-on techniques depending on what I find and how your body responds.

It's important to me to work with your body, not against it. That means paying attention to how you respond, communicating throughout the session, and adjusting my approach when needed. You're always welcome to ask questions, tell me what you're experiencing, or let me know if something doesn't feel right.

​

My goal isn't simply to make a symptom disappear temporarily, but to better understand what may be contributing to it and work toward more lasting changes. Sometimes that happens fairly quickly, and sometimes it takes time, especially when the body has been compensating for something for a long time.
