Safe Space for All Humans to Learn, Grow, and Heal through bodywork, movement, and physical education
Body Truing is the practice of restoring the human body to a state of balance and alignment through the use of massage and movement therapy
Body: /ˈbädē/ (noun), the physical structure of a person or an animal, including the bones, flesh, and organs.
True: /tro͞o/ (verb), to make level, square, balanced, or concentric: bring or restore to a desired mechanical accuracy or alignment.
Massage
Therapeutic massage is the first step to unraveling dysfunction and misalignment in the body.
I utilize the basic principles of massage therapy with the intent to bring balance and alignment to the physical structures (muscle, connective tissue, fascia) of the human body. The results being healthier tissues, better nerve conductivity, ease of movement, and less pain. These results set my clients up for more healing and healthier living.
Movement
I practice and teach movement medicine
Not sure what that means? Let me explain. I use movement (exercise, sports, dance, etc.) to heal my own body and mind. To me exercise isn't a punishment, it isn't grueling; it is a way to recover from the trials and challenges of being alive. There are so many different ways to move a human body, and so many reasons to do so.
I teach my clients how to move safely in their unique bodies using Pilates and weight bearing exercises as movement platforms for learning proper form and technique.
Education
All humans deserve to have access to information about the human body that enables them to make informed decisions about how to care for their unique body. In every session, I make a point to educate my clients about the human body. Knowledge is power, and I want every body to have access to that.
Our physical bodies hold a record of our life experiences, both physical and emotional; the conscious and subconscious history of ourselves. Therapeutic massage + movement can relieve pain, improve function, and help integrate our life experiences into a more balanced body. My intentions are to provide education about the human body, to help the body find its way out of dysfunction and rediscover homeostasis. I utilize therapeutic massage and therapeutic movement with Pilates and weight training to alleviate physical restrictions and facilitate the positive change every human deserves to experience.
