Hello,

A much-needed update on what’s been happening in my practice!

Late last year, I began a 6-week advanced Rolfing® course focused on deepening my rolfing structural integration perspective. I completed the first half in November 2024, and wrapped up the second half in mid-April 2025. The course helped me refine my touch, become more confident in identifying tissue layers, and improved how I scan and treat clients, leading to more efficient, targeted sessions and to develop a better 3 to 5 series post-rolfing 10-series.

Jaw Pain?

Two weeks ago, I traveled to Santa Fe for an in-depth training on treating TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) with Dr. Benjamin Shield. The TMJ is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull, and the pain can be caused by structural, functional, neurological, behavioral, trauma impact, or dental factors.

Dr. Shield—a former dentist and now a manual therapist of 40+ years—shared his powerful approach for relieving jaw pain. I’m now incorporating this work into my practice, and I’m confident I can help if you (or someone you know) is experiencing jaw tension, pain, or limited movement.
