I have been practicing energy/bodywork since 2001. I am a certified Spinal Touch Practitioner, certified to teach Brain Gym, as well as a licensed massage therapist.

How Is Your Posture?
In a perfect world, our air and water would be free from pollution, our food free of chemicals, and our lives free from stress. But, it is not a perfect world, and, although the human body is designed with the ability to adapt to various internal and external forces, such as environment & gravity, stressed too farm imbalances occur allowing pain and disease to enter the picture.

As we know that bones do not move muscles, but that muscles move bones, we must address the muscles when attempting to rebalance the body.

The Spinal Touch Technique¹ is a way to help relax the body's muscles. Once relaxed, the spine is gently pulled back into a more natural position, pain is reduced and mobility is regained.

This Technique is not chiropractic, but an energetic technique based on principles of polarity. A footboard and plumb line are used to assess distortions and how to have the center of gravity - found at the sacrum (L5, S1) - return to balance. Once determined, the client is placed on a table with cushions to put the spine in a relaxed position. Massage, Tuina, and Visceral Work can be used to initialize muscle relaxation depending upon what is happening in the body. Various holding and touch points are used to test relaxation and direct the body back to center of balance. The body must go back to be able to move forward and begin to heal.
