FAQ
I will ask you about your health history and current concerns before asking you to sit or lay fully clothed on a treatment table. I will make gentle contact with your body and guide you to explore sensations. As your awareness amplifies, you are able to notice the tensions and deeply held restrictions. These are unconscious and habitual. When your brain becomes conscious of them, it can then create change. Clients report noticing feelings of release, small movements and adjustments as well as temperature changes and a deep sense of relaxation or relief.
