I begin my sessions with a confidential health intake. I ask questions, take notes, and discuss with you, my client, what the goals are for the session and also discuss the pertinent history of receiving bodywork. I continue by assessing my client's soft-tissue dysfunctions, range of motion issues, pain and sensitivity. I begin working with my client treating the problems layer by layer, opening the body to the idea of change, of a new way to be.
Not all dysfunctions and patterns can be reversed in a single session. Frequently we've spent a lifetime building our own pain; it may take a few sessions to begin to unwind it.
I close each session with more discussion, and with suggestions and plans for future treatment.
I always work professionally and within the scope of practice for therapeutic massage.
