What is integrated bodywork?

An integrated bodywork session combines different modalities in one session. I use an integrated approach so that I can better track the patterns that are leading to discomfort and/or pain.  Everything in the body is interrelated, physical pain often has an emotional component and vice versa. Rarely, if ever, does physical pain affect only one area of the body. As an integrated bodywork practitioner I will help you get back on track and back to a healthy and energetic you.   

Massage, Bodywork, Energetic and Somatic Therapies are examples of the various modalities I use during a session. Some modalities involve intensive physical manipulation or manipulation of soft tissue and can provide immediate relief from injury or pain. Other modalities, such as energy therapies work more subtly yet provide lasting results.

Process Oriented Bodywork

Process oriented bodywork (POB) is more concerned with looking at the body as a representation of what is going on in your life. What events have shaped you, your posture and your attitude. Chronic aches and pains even constant accident and injury can be your body and your unconscious mind trying to tell you something.

Process oriented bodywork may or may not include massage. Since it is more focused on how the body and mind are working together, there are times when massage is not the most informative form of bodywork. The focus of POB is to find the "messages" that have unconsciously encoded into your bodymap and provide an alternate and more conscious message to those that have manifested into non-supported beliefs and ideas and therefore postures and structural patterns.

As a process oriented bodyworker I will help you read and decipher the signs and signals of your body and get you back on the path to health and wellness.
