I have been practicing physical therapy starting in 2001, starting my career at Johns Hopkins Hospital in acute care working with adults and pediatrics, followed by outpatient settings since 2003. I became interested in manual work of IAHE( https://www.iahp.com/) in 2006, starting with cranial sacral therapy through the Upledger Institute, then continuing with neural and visceral manipulation through the Barral Institute. I continue increasing my knowledge and skills through my love of learning, and through continued classes and workshops to improve skills.
I treat all types of patients from babies to adults with a holistic, whole body, integrative approach. Using gentle, hands-on techniques derived from osteopathic concepts that help release years of dysfunction or old trauma in an effort to restore better alignment, reduce muscle tension and spasm, calm the nervous system, enhance energy flow, and support organ function.
Also working with SomatoEmotional Release®, which is a manual therapy process developed by Dr. Upledger that expands on the core principles of CranioSacral Therapy to help rid the body of the residual effects of past trauma and negative emotional experiences. This helps to support the body to do what it knows how to do best: heal itself. This, in conjunction with psychotherapy and other mental health modalities, can help to address the root causes of anxiety and depression without the use of medications. CST has been experienced as calming to the central nervous system, allowing the body and mind to be stronger and more resilient.
I work closely with clients who are healing physical and health challenges, as well as those consciously walking their personal paths in body, mind and spirit and seeking to deepen their personal connection within.
I am double certified in the Healing from the Core curriculum for distance and in person sessions, as well as in leading small groups and overview workshops on grounding and healthy boundaries.
