A resident of Orcas since 1980, I began my training in the healing arts in 1987 with Reiki energy healing. I have been part of the Healing Arts Center since 1988.
My specialty is TRAGER Psychophysical Integration; a mouthful to say, yes, but very lovely to feel. The Trager Approach involves an ‘educated’ stretching of the body’s tissues, encouraging opening, release and integration through an experience of undulations and rocking, articulation of joints, all within an “attitude” of light, freeing, effortless movement. Trager works deeply and holistically with the mind-body, pain free.
I am also adept in Swedish massage and can accommodate a client’s desire for Lomi Lomi, some deep tissue work, stone massage, pregnancy, postpartum, chair massage, and injury and illness treatment. I am self-educated in nutrition, use of plant oils (DoTerra) and plant essences (Perelandra). I constantly delve into the subject of Consciousness through many avenues including the Avatar courses created by Harry Palmer. My current study is meridian massage incorporating the benefit of this ancient energy awareness with other modalities and knowledge; I continue to integrate for our mutual wellbeing.
Other activities and interests: I work as professional seamstress, knitting instructor and a naturalist of 40 years in both the marine and terrestrial environs. I am a passionate explorer of all Nature, both physical and metaphysical, and love to share the sacred joy of nurturing touch and healing intent. Organic gardening is a current joy for my own well-being balance.
May you be happy and well.
