client care
I believe in an informed and individualized approach to health care. Finding a practitioner you feel comfortable with—and a technique that resonates with you—is essential.
To support this, I offer a complimentary 40-minute consultation. During this time, we will discuss your goals, as well as any history of accident, injury, or surgery. You will also have the opportunity to experience Ortho-Bionomy firsthand, helping you determine whether this approach is right for you.
What Makes This Work Different
To illustrate the difference, consider a client with a stiff neck who can bend their head to the right but has difficulty returning to center.
In traditional massage therapy, the practitioner may work directly on the muscle using pressure and stretching to encourage lengthening.
In Ortho-Bionomy, we instead monitor the body’s tension patterns and gently position the head and shoulders toward ease—bringing the points of tension closer together. Much like bringing the ends of a tight rubber band together, this allows the muscle to soften and release naturally.
In this supported and comfortable position, the body receives the neurological input and improved circulation it needs to unwind tension patterns on its own. Ortho-Bionomy is sometimes described as the “homeopathy of bodywork,” as it works by subtly reflecting and supporting the body’s existing patterns to encourage self-correction.
Session Details
Sessions in Ortho-Bionomy or Breathing Coordination typically last 60 to 75 minutes.
I allow additional time when needed, so that if we are in the process of resolving a tension pattern, the work does not feel rushed. If the hands-on portion concludes within the hour, the remaining time may be used for quiet rest, allowing your body to integrate the changes.
Fees
- $125 per session
- Package of 6 sessions: $120 per session
