vitality. alignment. effortless movement.

The body is a living ecosystem-every part is dynamically interconnected with every other part. When the body is understood and utilized in this way its natural abilities for self-regulation and self-correction are stimulated and supported. 

Rooted in these understandings, I offer trainings for manual therapists and movement educators. The Integrated Embodiment trainings offer an educational and therapeutic framework for restoring natural alignment, ease of movement, sense of wholeness, inner vitality,  and full-bodied participation in life.

Integrative Embodiment ~ 8 module training

Integrative Embodiment is an eight-module training providing an experiential exploration of the body through advanced palpation, manual therapy, visual assessment, breathwork, and functional movement. Grounded in Taoist and somatic principles, students will learn how alignment, support, respiration, rest, and intrinsic muscle tonicity influence both structure and function. Manual therapy techniques are integrated throughout the series, including positional release, induction, fascial release, visceral massage, and joint mobilization.

Students will develop a clear understanding of functional movement, exploring how force is distributed through the body during walking, bending and reaching, and how to support movement that is efficient and resilient. Tonicity is approached as an adaptable continuum—balanced naturally when movement is integrated. By the end of the training, participants will leave with an embodied, applied understanding that can be integrated into manual therapy, movement education, artistic expression and personal practice, cultivating both technical skill and a deepened capacity for presence, perception, and relational touch.
