WHY I’M HERE

My passion for structural integration comes from a lifelong love of movement: surfing, acrobatics, climbing, martial arts and movement exploration.  Having sustained countless injuries, I pursued this work to help others with their recoveries.   With imbalances and injuries myself that don't always fit a method, I can teach you to  trust your own body and work with what it is telling you so that you can do what you love with more ease and less pain. 

Whether you are a competitive athlete, an overworked parent, do physical work or just want to dance without your feet hurting, I can coach you to release unhelpful patterns, work more effectively with your nervous system and move more freely without pain. My sessions are sometimes intense, often profound and always done with the intention to deepen your awareness to what your being is telling you. 

HOW I FOUND STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION

I initially found this work when I injured my back in a skateboarding accident in my 20s. After living with debilitating back pain, barely able to work or even walk for over a year, I found a Hellerwork practitioner. When I walked out of my first session I made it half a block before I realized that my pelvis was no longer pulling me to the right in the limp I had grown used to, and the pain in my back was significantly reduced. I had tried many other modalities to get rid of that pain, but nothing had made any significant difference. Before I made it to the end of the block I had already decided that I would change my career and become a Hellerwork practitioner.  Since then I’ve dedicated my life to help people deepen their connection to themselves and get out of pain.

TRAINING AND CREDENTIALS

Among other things, I am a Board Certified Structural Integration practitioner, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and a Certified CoActive Coach. My initial training came from The Institute of Structural Medicine in 2001 and over the last 20+ years I have explored trained or taught a variety of methods including yoga, cranial sacral therapy, visceral manipulation, body centered dialog, coaching, men's work, trauma resolution, breathwork, and somatic movement. I am grateful to have trained with some of the most brilliant Rolfers, body-centered psychotherapists and movement educators in New York and around the world. I have been in private practice in New York since 2001.

I currently practice in Beacon, Cold Spring and New York City.
