TBS

Over the past 26 years, I have truly enjoyed and love working with people and helping them in their healing journey. I specialize in Fascial Counterstrain, which includes Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, Manual Articular therapy and CranioSacral therapy. These modalities have been instrumental in aiding my clients to improve their overall function and well-being.

Fascial Counterstrain is such a powerful, gentle and effective multi-paradigm system that incorporates all these modalities and more. I have been in practice for 26 years and in 2023, Fascial Counterstrain profoundly changed the way I work with clients.

Our bodies have an inherent and innate ability to self-heal, I this work helps to facilitate in this endeavor. I offer a safe environment to support and enhance this process. This work is gentle, yet powerful and effective with long-lasting results.

I look forward to helping you. I work by appointment Monday-Friday in Santa Rosa, California.
