What to Expect in Your Movement Session
Every session is customized to you. We start on the floor with deep breaths, allowing your body to settle and reveal areas of tension or imbalance. The floor provides support, helping us assess natural positioning. I’ll observe your asymmetries and guide movements that address restrictions while responding to your body’s signals. This isn’t just stretching—you’re actively restoring balance.
My Approach Has Evolved
I used to do most of the work for you, passively stretching your body. Over time, I learned that real, lasting change happens when you actively engage in movement. The body works through opposing forces—when one muscle contracts, the other stretches. This principle guides our work together. Instead of stretching being done to you, you’ll actively create space in ways that feel natural and sustainable.
How You'll Move
I will instruct and manually assist you in getting into each position slowly and intentionally, with breathwork guiding the process. The goal isn’t just to “loosen” tight muscles—it’s to decompress the body from the ground up, reversing gravity’s pull and allowing for greater mobility and ease of movement.
Why This Feels Different
Unlike passive stretching, this practice actively engages your muscles to create the stretch.
-
You’ll feel your muscles working—waking up restricted areas and retraining efficient movement.
-
Stretching is exploration, not force—guiding your body without triggering resistance.
-
Breath is key—moving slowly with breath helps your nervous system relax into the stretch.
Meditative Practice for Both Body & Mind
This work can be tiring at first, but it’s also deeply meditative. Stretching isn’t just physical—it’s a chance to observe thoughts, emotions, and stored experiences. Movements may trigger memories of past injuries or moments, but we simply notice and release them. Over time, these sessions become more than a reset—they become a grounding, safe space to reconnect with yourself.
A Movement Practice That Builds Over Time
Each session builds on the last, helping you develop an intuitive, sustainable approach to movement. With practice, you’ll learn to identify tension, release it, and reduce compression in your body. This isn’t just about short-term relief—it’s about lasting mobility, less pain, and easier movement every day.

Non-Touch Options Available: If you prefer not to be touched during the session, that's completely fine! This doesn't have to be a hands-on appointment. Your comfort is a priority, and accommodations can be tailored to your preferences.
The initial appointment involves a comprehensive conversation to gather a thorough history, allowing me to understand your body's unique experiences better.
1. Booking: Find your location zone, login, schedule, and pay for your appointment through our online portal.​
2. Location: Sessions are available in-home, at your office, or in our studio—your flexibility, your way.​
3. Clothing: Our sessions are conducted fully clothed. Please wear comfortable attire that allows your body to move freely and without restriction.
4. Arrival and Conversation: Upon arrival, we will engage in a discussion about your body's current condition.
5. Warm-up Movements: To prepare your body, we'll initiate with gentle warm-up exercises. This process enhances blood circulation, provides warmth to specific areas, and signals the central nervous system for upcoming stretching and movement.
6. Floor Session: Next, we'll move to the floor to explore passive ranges of motion. During this phase, we'll engage in coordinated movement and breathing exercises together for the remainder of the session, with the total stretch time usually around 50 minutes.
8. Personalization: Every session is crafted uniquely to the specific needs of your body. While you may notice similarities, there will never be a set routine – each experience is distinct and personalized.
7. Progressions: In the initial sessions, the primary focus is on alleviating pain and reducing inflammation. As your progress continues, we'll integrate floor stretches and movements to help sustain and improve the overall range of motion in your body.
9. Home Exercises: I'll supply you with stretches to practice independently, allowing for ongoing improvement and progress.
10. Parasympathetic Response: Feeling tired or cold may signal the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, a positive sign of progress. If fatigued, consider taking a nap. If cold, warm up with a hot shower or bath to stabilize your body's response.
