Somatic Therapies and Training

At the core of my work is a deep belief in the power of energy to heal, transform, and restore. Our physical, emotional and mental blockages, caused by stress, trauma, swallowed and unprocessed emotions, lack of exercise and the environmental toxins we encounter daily, hold us back from living the good life.

Through somatic therapy and bodywork and processing our emotions and traumas, we can release these blockages and restore the flow of vital energy, allowing the body and the psyche to heal itself.

Over the past 40 years in the field of somatic bodywork I’ve refined my approach, focusing now primarily on Chi Nei Tsang—a Taoist abdominal detox massage of the organs and intestines that helps release stored toxins, energetic cysts and trapped emotions from the abdomen, restoring balance to the body’s organs and systems for a greater quality of life.

I also offer and teach Traditional Thai Massage, a great art and science that addresses all the energy lines/pathways in the body, and helps to release stress and discomfort in the muscles, bones, fascia, ligaments and tendons.

My teaching schedule includes a 3 day Energy Medicine program that draws from the initial training I received between 1987 and 1989 from my principle teachers, and still informs all the somatic therapy sessions that I offer to my clients, addressing the subtle and yet profound world of the aura, chakras and the energetic cysts, the result of blocked emotional and mental energy, trauma memories and ancestral and genetic wounds and scars, also called sanskaras in Yogic literature.

To reach beyond my usual student body of therapists and therapists in training, I offer a one day or a weekend event called Jewel in the Lotus, a self love, self healing and self mastery module.
