My coaching philosophy is based on the belief that every individual has the power to achieve their goals and create the life they desire in a healthy body. I work with clients to identify their strengths and values, and help them create a plan of action to achieve their desired outcomes.
I work with clients from all walks of life who are committed to personal growth and achieving their goals. Some of my clients are seeking career advancement, while others are looking to improve their relationships, health, deepen their faith and/or find greater fulfillment in life.
I have 25 years experience working with the federal and state criminal courts, including certifications in addictions and mental health. I am also a licensed massage therapist, certified in trauma-informed bodywork. I have a deep understanding of psychology, anatomy, and physiology, and working with the mind-body connection. I believe that true change and healing the body comes not just from setting goals, but from understanding the underlying beliefs and patterns that may be holding us back from living a life of peace and freedom. I also bring a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to every coaching and integrative bodywork session.
Trauma-Informed is not a massage technique, however, a client-centered approach to practice. In session, you may remain fully clothed if you so desire, and the area of concern will only be exposed during bodywork, then will be properly draped. We will discuss and identify your level of pain, discomfort and/or where your emotional stress may be stored, and have constant dialogue throughout the session in creating a safe place. You will be guided through a healing meditation with light touch massage therapy, and mindful breathing, focusing on releasing any physical and/or emotional tension that may be trapped in your body.
Included in your bodywork session, we offer abdominal massage therapy, a gentle, non-invasive treatment, supporting digestive and reproductive health. Our emotions, such as stress, anger, resentment, fear, etc., are often times stored in the physical body, causing dis-ease and illness. Known as our second brain, the "gut" is responsible for 95% of the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter (chemical)l that carries messages between nerve cells in the brain and throughout the body. It plays an important role in various brain and body functions, including healthy digestion, sexual function, bone health, cognition, mood stabilization, memory, learning, and sleep.
