My work is devoted to bringing women into deeper relationship to their own bodies, and therefore, deeper into their own health, vitality, intuition, and power. Sometimes that looks like working through physical symptoms, sometimes mental/emotional distress, and sometimes just curiosity for what else could be.
I am an Occupational Therapist by trade. In OT school, we learn to look at the whole person, their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies, as well as the environment they are living within to help bridge the gap between their current life and their full potential.
I am not interested in symptom management. I am interested in deep healing, and I believe, the body, when provided the right environment, knows how to heal.
My work, on a physical level, brings more alignment into the body which improves blood flow, lymph flow, and nerve conduction, reducing inflammation and stagnation, and providing a more optimal environment for healing and thriving.
On a nervous system, or mental/emotional level, my work uses the concepts of neuroplasticity and trauma resolution to slowly re-pattern your stress responses and build more capacity to experience all parts of life and the emotions that come with them with a greater sense of stability and trust in yourself, even (or especially) when the waves get rough.
On a practical level, we look at your symptoms and lifestyle and together build a realistic plan that can sustain change over time.
I honor your symptoms, your stories, and the resistance and fear to make change and I also fully believe in you and your body’s ability to return to a state of physiological design, inherent intelligence, health, and vitality.
Whole Body Pelvic Care
A woman’s center of gravity is her pelvis. It literally provides us the base to walk, reach, and engage in life. It also holds the cycles of life and death. Through our menstrual cycles, sexual intimacy, pregnancies, pregnancy loss, and birth, your pelvis knows creational power, deep pleasure, and immense pain. Yet we have been taught to hold shame here. To hide, to shrink, to minimize, to numb and to work against our feminine intelligence.
Whether you have specific pelvic symptoms or not, it is almost undeniable that you, as a woman living on this Earth have some sort of distorted relationship with your own body, and especially your pelvis.
My work aims to start peeling away the distortion. One, to address your symptoms at their roots, but two, to recognize how much more might be possible when you remember who you really are.
I am informed by my Occupational Therapy background in physical rehab and mental health while also weaving together my Specialty Area in OT Pelvic Health and multi-year trainings in Womb Continuum Care and Somatic Experiencing.
Occupational Therapy is a Master’s Level training in the field of Human and Rehabilitative Science. It’s driving theory is that participation impacts health. OT’s look at personal factors, environmental barriers, and the occupations (the things we need and want to do to participate in our lives) to create a plan to increase participation, engagement, and fulfillment in life. OT is heavily dependent on a person’s individual goals and desires while also rooted in anatomy, physiology, psychology, and spirituality.
Womb Continuum Care is a manual therapy that centers around the health and intelligence of the female pelvis while also acknowledging its connection to your whole body, weaving aspects of Structural Integration, Traditional Mexican Medicine, Scar Remediation, Visceral Manipulation, and other hands on modalities to return alignment into the body.
Somatic Experiencing is a Body-Oriented Stress and Trauma Resolution modality that addressing stuck stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, etc) that are running your current decisions, reactions, and beliefs with or without your knowledge, working with them in real time without the need to relive past trauma to free up space for your system to start feeling safe, feel your feelings, and flow more easily with life’s ups and downs instead of trying to control or resist them.
Give me the rundown.
What does this actually look like?
Working with me starts with an in depth inquiry into many of the driving factors of health. Sleep, nutrition, exercise, intimacy, habits and routines, stress and stress management, breath mechanics, and more. Before we meet, you will fill out an intake form with a range of questions in those areas as well as questions regarding your medical history, any trauma history, symptoms, and more. During our initial 90 minute meeting, we will spend as much time as needed discussing and diving deeper into your goals, your struggles, and where we can begin to start closing the gap.
A physical assessment will then take place, assessing posture, breath, range of motion, tension patterns, etc. I will leave the room while you then dress down to your comfort level and lay on the massage table. A manual therapy session will take place assessing the quality of your fascia from your hips to your shoulders, palpation of your belly and uterus if you have one, followed by deeper belly/visceral work.
After the assessment is complete, a plan of care will be discussed. A common plan of care will typically range from weekly for 8-12 weeks, biweekly for 3-6 months, or monthly for 9-12 months however this can be flexible depending on your goals, budget, and time availability. Education and suggested homework will be provided on day one and throughout to keep the momentum going.
Subsequent sessions will likely be 90 minutes however 60 minutes may be an option depending on personal factors that will be discussed during evaluation. The foundation of my work is rooted in manual therapy, lifestyle modification/education, and nervous system work/education. In general, you can expect a bulk of the time in session spent on manual therapy, however, more time will be spent on nervous system work, exercise, lifestyle education, and so forth when appropriate.
As our work deepens and rapport is built, the manual therapy can deepen as well. External and internal pelvic work, oral work, and breast work can be highly beneficial for certain clients and when working with certain symptoms. This deeper work will never happen on the first session and will never occur until both parties have agreed ahead of time that the work is wanted and appropriate. It is okay to never want the deeper work and it is never needed to experience massive shifts.
Okay. Tell me the truth.
