BODYWORK: HEALING, EMPOWERMENT AND INSPIRATION - FOR YOU!
My work is my own blend of learned techniques (such as Swedish massage, Rosen Method, Shiatsu,
Reconnective Healing, hypnosis, etc.) and techniques that I found while observing and interacting with
the human body and mind during the sessions. Sometimes during a session I get direct specific
information about client’s issue that needs to be worked on.
The focus is on the nervous system, re-setting it in order to clear the stress, release holding patterns,
access the deeper resources of the mind/brain, restore the flow of communication between different
systems.
My approach is to never force a human body and the mind behind it, but to offer an awareness of the
current holding and support in finding a possible healthier choice.
This approach unlocks the natural intelligence behind the complicated systems of human mind, body
and emotions.***
After sessions my clients report the feeling of clarity, joy, calmness, peace, being grounded and
focused, relaxed, light and quiet. They are able to get in touch with themselves, process their
experiences, and catch up with the present moment. Sometimes it's just the opposite, though - one
feels like getting sick, wanting to stay cozy in bed under the cover. That is when the toxins are carried
out of the holdings in tissues and into the blood flow. Then all one needs to do is to rest and drink
water.
(Disclaimer: individual results may vary.)
The following services are available:
1. Full body massage with lotion or oil: long strokes, pressure-points, vibration, stretching, energy
balancing. Includes work on diaphragm, chest, pelvis and nervous system.
2. Deeper-than-tissue light touch slow work with intense focus on underlying tension patterns in tissues
– allows the body to process deep holdings and re-adjust itself from inside out. Recommended for
sensitive people and those with lots of pain.
3. Reconnective Healing Energy work – mostly hands off the body, balancing energy field and releasing
deep tension, stimulates spontaneous healing.
4. Hypnotherapy – work with a specific issue or conflict. The client is focused deeply inside themselves,
providing feedback for the therapist. Visualization and energy work is used to support the process of
transformation on the subconscious level of the mind.
5. Integrative session where the choice of techniques is based on the observed needs of a particular
client, or on the request of the client.
You can specify your preference at the beginning of a session. Most of the time I'm guided to what
modality to use for the better results.

***Think about that little smear that starts out as the human body, and then there's a nose and a liver and a gizzard, oh, not
a gizzard... All that stuff that is present and knows how to become this. There's so much knowledge within the human body.
You're wanting to free the human body's knowledge to be well from the resistance that has been picked up along this
physical trail. The very best approach to medicine is,"Well, I see your physical body is sick, what's been bothering you?
What are you worried about? What are you angry about? What are you frustrated about?" Because that is what is at the
root of all of this. And then say, "Let it go, let it go, let it go." That's the message, and if they could hear you and do that,
then they would all be well right away.*** --- Abraham
