I believe that healing is a dynamic process that comes more from your willingness to be in your body and aware of what goes on within you than from anything that I do as a practitioner. I work with you, and I am not striving to “fix” you or pursue an agenda for you or your body. This work is typically ongoing and process-oriented. Receiving sessions regularly will increase the benefits to you. I cannot promise this work will address a specific symptom or achieve a specific outcome on a given timeline, but I can tell you that this work will have a meaningful impact on your life and I am committed to being as present, competent, professional and caring as I can be for you.
Healing Sessions:
True Voice Healing is a gentle way of working that addresses the patterns that you began to develop in your body from childhood. Whatever physical, emotional, or spiritual injuries, challenges and triumphs you hold in your history, you also hold in your body. Through touch and verbal acknowledgement, I facilitate breakthroughs and insights that may not have been available to you through thinking, talking or massage alone. This process deepens your awareness, helping you to know yourself, heal yourself and ultimately love yourself as a whole being.
Reiki and Energy Balancing are based on the Eastern concept that balancing the life force energy (known as “ki” in Reiki) in your body results in relief from pain, general relaxation, faster healing of injuries and illness, emotional calming or release and increased well-being.
What to Expect: At the beginning of your first session we will talk a about what brings you to me, your concerns and expectations, and any questions you have. Sessions are usually hands-on with the client on the massage table. I will give you privacy to undress and settle in. In accordance with professional and legal standards, I will keep you modestly draped throughout your session, so many clients choose to undress completely or leave on only their underpants, but please keep on as much clothing as feels comfortable to you. At any time please let me know if you have questions or are uncomfortable in any way. This time is about your care and healing!
My Background: I am a Licensed Massage Practitioner (License #MA00010971) and Registered Counselor (#RC00048954) in Washington State. I graduated from Utting School of Massage and established my practice in West Seattle in 1997. I have a wide variety of continuing education that has informed and shaped my approach to bodywork, including craniosacral training, energy balancing and Reiki. I studied Inner Process Bodywork (working with emotional material in conjunction with massage) for two years with Caroline Goodell. I have a BA from The Evergreen State College and hold a Professional Membership in the American Massage Therapy Association.
Appointments: I schedule appointments Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Most sessions are 60 minutes, though 90 minute sessions are available. If you happen to arrive late for your appointment the session will still need to end at the scheduled time. Your appointment time is reserved especially for you. There is no charge if you cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance. Except in emergencies, cancellations with less than 24 hours notice or “no-shows” will be subject to 1/2 the charge for the missed appointment. Thank you for your cooperation.
Rates and Payment: Unless we have made other arrangements, payment must be made at the time of your appointment. I accept cash, checks, debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card and American Express. If I am billing for payment there is an additional $25 per appointment charge.
Current Rates:
1 Hour - $90, 1 1/2 Hours $125
