"Who hath put wisdom
in the inward parts?

Or who hath given
understanding
to the heart?"

- Job


“It is truly a creative
universe in that the future
is not pre-ordained but
spontaneously and freely
made by every being, from
elementary particles to galaxies,
from microbes to the giant
redwood trees, all mutually
entangled in a universal wave-
function that never collapses, but
like a constantly changing cosmic consciousness, maintains and
informs the universal whole”

- Dr. Mae Wan Ho, PhD

Great De and its features
Flow entirely from Dao.
Dao objectified
is only intangible and illusive.
Intangible an illusive
yet within it are images.
Illusive and intangible
yet in it are forms.
Shadowy and obscure
yet within it is essence.
Essence so real
that within it is true potency.

- Dao De Jing, Laozi

Background

Like many people drawn to the healing arts, I came upon the path of bodywork through my own desire to better understand my body.

I now see the scoliosis that I was formerly "afflicted" with as a very real gift - a gift into my body and onto this path. It was a single craniosacral therapy session that I received five years ago that showed me very clearly and suddenly that I must pursue the study of the art of embodiment, craniosacral therapy, and helping to alleviate other people's suffering. My life has not been the same since that session, and I continue to benefit from receiving bodywork, caring touch, and craniosacral therapy.

As I learn to engage and trust my body's intelligence, and really listen to what it tells me about how I hold myself in my life, I become more aware in my body, more aligned in my center, more in tune with a lifestyle that is sane and kind to my body, and daily filled with increased fluidity, ease, and gratitude for the blessing of this life.

Experience

My experience working at Urban Wellness Group in Portland as part of a holistic care team gave me many opportunities to address symptoms and pain associatated with Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, whiplash and auto-related injuries, and a host of stress-related tension patterns.

In general I am excited to work with anyone who values the power of touch to come closer to balance.

Interests

When not giving massage or working on behalf of the environment (Gila Resources Information Project, Gila Conservation Coalition), I enjoy dance, biking, Chi-kung, writing, photography, and wildharvesting. I am also a jeweller and the owner of the Ode to Joy Art Collective.
