Welcome!
Thank You for visiting my website.
I utilize various Integrative approaches and holistic therapies to help people achieve optimal health, pain relief, and stress reduction.
I specialize in manual (hands-on) therapy for the treatment of various health/pain conditions and the enhancement of overall well-being. I am a licensed Massage Therapist, licensed occupational therapist, and certified craniosacral therapist with a diverse background in health, wellness, and mind/body healing.
- CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle form of bodywork based on the osteopathic philosophy, that uses light touch to release tensions deep in the body. CST enhances the function of the central nervous system and is an effective treatment for numerous medical problems associated with stress, trauma and physical pain. Additional benefits include: deep relaxation, improved awareness, improved self-regulation and a profound sense of well-being. I am certified in both Upledger and Biodynamic craniosacral therapy.
- Myofascial Release (MFR) is a holistic form of bodywork that can eliminate pain, restore mobility, and enhance well-being. It is a soft tissue technique that releases muscular and connective tissue restrictions to restore motion and improve function. Myofascial restrictions can be caused by physical trauma, postural imbalances, old injuries, repetitive strain, surgery, adhesions, trigger-points, emotional stress, or other factors. MFR utilizes a wide range of pressures, ranging from trigger point work and deep tissue mobilization (myofascial massage) to more subtle work.
An Integrative Approach
I utilize an integrative approach combining various manual therapies including: craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, visceral fascial Release, positional release, and neuro-muscular (trigger-point) therapy. Initial sessions begin with a postural and palpatory assessment to locate soft tissue restrictions and postural imbalances that are impacting on smooth functional movement. Techniques are based on individual client preferences and what the body needs at the time of service.
My office is conveniently located on a quiet block in Manhattan - Greenwich Village, New York City near Union Square. Whether you are looking for relief from chronic pain/stress, struggling with a health issue or want to experience a sense of well-being and vitality, I will do my best to meet your individual needs.
