Integrative
Bodywork
We work with Being, but Non-Being is what we use.
—Lau Tzu
My Mission is to assist your structural body into higher order, so with new length, new lift, and a fuller breath, you may enjoy inherent freedom within.
Inspired by Ida Rolf’s tradition and Recipe, Integrative Bodywork is a process of re-MIND-ing the BODY.

Introduction to your Line
Bodyreading & postural assessment
Touch is specific, focus is global. Sometimes opposite.
Goals may include: freeing the breath through the superficial sheaths of the front body. Felt sense of grounding through the bones of the leg and foot. Felt sense at the top of the head and restful position of the shoulder girdle on the rib cage. Free the gait and improve rotational movement. Unstick what is stuck down.
We may discuss intention and benefits of a potential series.
90 minutes - 2 Hours. (The body knows when the work is done).

Bio
I began my practice in 2019. Before that work really began, I’d read Dr. Ida Rolf’s “Rolfing” and was inspired by the precise language she used to illustrate this enigmatic relationship between gravity and our tensegral, bony bodies. So I began to connect her work with my own experience, as a mover and student of yoga and Qigong, and especially as a receiver from a Rolfer beginning when I was 16.
I am certified in Structural Integration with Anatomy Trains (ATSI), and owe a great deal of credit to Ida, for that initial spark and continued instruction; to my Anatomy Trains teachers, Julie Hammond, Tom Myers, and Wjotek Cackoski, to my Rolfing teachers, Steve Nipper and Bradon Planty, to a host of other teachers, shamans, friends and peers.
I honor the wholism of the human body and I open myself to all paths and modalities which lead us there. This work continues to heal me, inspire me, and make every day interesting.
I am also certified as a therapist in Zenthai Shiatsu. Although I do not treat in the Zenthai style, the heart-based culture of it continues in my work. Without that, I couldn’t do it. It humbles the practitioner in me that tries to offers language to being a physical, dense thing in an infinitely surprising, uplifting world.
I live in my hometown of Ojai California with my wife Rosie and daughter Atticus.
