Integrative Bodywork Therapy

1-hour and 90 minute Private Sessions
Offices in Santa Monica & Santa Clarita, CA + Online

Beneficial at every age, from birth to deep age, there is great support available when you connect with the wisdom of your body. In a session, I draw from a vast body of knowledge, skills, experience, training, and a deeply developed intuition. I carefully listen to your story, your words and body language. Through my heart, hands, and kinesthetic intuition, I tune into the living energy and the resonance of your body-mind-spirit. Depending on the focus or need articulated, I draw upon my acquired resources to facilitate positive change. Sessions may utilize healing touch, sound, and gentle movement. All have the focus and intention of bringing about greater wholeness of oneself as a human being, an attunement to one’s path and essential self.

Continuum Movement®

Thursday night class series in Tarzana, CA
Jan 3 - Mar 28, 2019   7:30-9:30 pm, RSVP for address

A Spring movement series with Colleen and Fred Sugarman. Amplify and refine the far-reaching communication within yourself, with others, and with the world, using Continuum's somatic dexterity of breath, resonance of sound, and value of meaning. CONTINUUM is an invitation to slow down and pay attention to our true nature and inner wisdom. As we explore the movement of breath, experience vocal sound permeating our cells, and move in the ocean of our body's ocean of fluid, we find spacious ways that emerge from attention to deeply felt sensation. Continuum is an antidote to the speed and stress of everyday life, and is also a refined support for other movement practices, for creative processes, and for other healing modalities.

Embodying Anatomy Online

Series begins January 27, 2019

A dynamic and interactive 12-course series exploring the human body systems through the lens of Continuum Movement. Learning to experience the body personally: Fluids, Bones, Cellular, Nervous, Senses & Perception, Organs, Ligaments, Muscles, NeuroEndocrine, PsychoPysical Integration and more. Learn a method that embraces what it means to be a human being with a body. Understand the fundamentals of embodying our bio-system through cultural anatomy and physiology principles from a Continuum Movement perspective. We will explore the notion of "form-to-formlessness", where our bio-organism is allowed to be mutable in form, regenerative and responsive to life circumstance.

Fluid Body Workshop

Spring 2019

UNIVERSAL MOVEMENT MOTIFS (Cell/Embryo)
Everything has been touched by the movement of water - our bodies, the planet, and the galaxy. Explore the fluid system within our bodies as one profound, resonant stream of intelligence that determines the flow of information and nourishment available to us. The fundamental choreographer of our tissue structure is fluid molecules, and their flow underlies our psychophysical states of presence, communication, transformation, and the dance between rest and activity. Embody fluid’s natural movement behavior of waves, undulations and spirals; a motif reflected in cells and embryos. Learn movement, hands-on and observational approaches to distinguish qualities and influences of major fluids, including blood, lymph, cellular, transitional, intracellular, cerebral-spinal (CSF), and synovial.

Bones, Breath & Sound

April 5-8, 2018 Los Angeles, CA

Somatic Movement Arts courses are a synergy of Continuum and Embodied Anatomy.  Explore the skeletal system experientially, and discover keys to healthy and strong bones, and moving in space with clarity. Living bone is an exciting matrix of connective tissue; three basic layers of cells and fluids that provide leverage, support, and form to our being. As fluid beings, our form is negotiable, regenerative and responsive. Embody the skeletal system with a dynamic perspective, understanding and transcending the biomechanical definition of movement in relation to gravity.
