SESSIONS
Hello!
I currently offer in-person sessions in my office in Montecito Heights (Northeast LA) and remote sessions online. In this context, I work primarily with individuals and with intimate partners.
Remote sessions can focus on embodied relational and intimacy coaching, stalwart emotional and energetic support, strategies for self-care and somatic wellness, guidance in generative exploratory movement, and skilled self-touch and/or partnered touch. When appropriate and as called upon to do so, we may explicitly venture into intuitive ritual and energetic resourcing, non-ordinary perception, & collaboration with the world of spirit.
In person, I offer all of that in conjunction with hands-on table work. I draw on 25 years of continual training and experience in a wide range of therapeutic modalities as well as thousands of hours working with an amazing variety of people on the table. My practice integrates the perspectives of structural alignment, manual techniques of meridian and point manipulation drawn from traditional Chinese/Taoist medicine, the “listening hands” and subtle touch taught by Hugh Milne as Visionary Craniosacral work, the method of physiological assessment articulated by Dr. Vincent Medici as the Rule of Four, abdominal/visceral manipulation relevant to fertility, pregnancy and postnatal care as taught by Rosita Arvigo, remediation for scar tissue and other obstructive fascial adhesion, Tami Kent’s Holistic Pelvic Care™, breast and chest care as taught by DeAnna Batdorff, Mo Washburn and Willa Mamet, framing and practices drawn from sexological bodywork and somatic sex education, the deep intuitive perspective and off-body techniques I developed with Elizabeth Guilliams as Crystalline Energetics, somatic-emotional awareness rooted in my broad study and ongoing exploration of somatic psychology and movement across multiple contexts, 30+ years engaged with a panoply of meditative and contemplative practices, and a lifetime of movement study and experimentation as a performing person and as an injured person delving deeply into healing my own body.
I also offer supportive therapies as needed: castor packing, gua sha, and cupping are all available as needed/upon request.
In-person intake sessions are, if possible, 2 hours. This allows us enough time to meet for the first time and get a clear, thorough understanding of your history, current needs, desires and intentions before beginning any table work.
Online intake sessions take place over Zoom or Signal, and run from 60-90 minutes, depending upon the complexity of what we’re addressing.
Beyond the intake, both remote and in-person sessions can vary in length and frequency depending upon the depth and pace you would most enjoy. I offer sessions of up to 3 hours in-person by request, and am delighted by the spaciousness and generosity of longer sessions.
I am again offering sessions as short as 60 minutes with a prior conversation to determine whether that is appropriate for your needs and intentions.
Upon request, I’m happy to arrange a 15 minute phone call in advance of a first session with anyone who is considering working with me and wishes to get a sense of who I am and whether I can help. You can schedule yourself for an introductory call here.

I am stoked to work with humans of all sexes, gender identifications, orientations, and cultural backgrounds, and am explicitly and absolutely queer-, trans-, kink-, SW and poly-friendly.
