I provide bodywork that—over time—helps people’s bodies find a new level of regulation. Folks often feel good after one session. However, that one session isn’t what helps them manage the symptoms of anxiety.
It’s the work they do in my office once a week or twice a month.
It’s the daily work of learning triggers, practicing mindful redirection, and, at times, tolerating the intensity until it passes.
It’s working with other professionals to find the right balance of herbs, supplements, and medications.
It’s learning what food, activities and habits support their ability to manage symptoms.
How long will it take? That length of time is as unique as each of you.
The only thing I know for sure is: There is no one-stop fix-it option.
It’s the bodywork.
It’s the mind work.
It’s the herbal/supplemental/medication work.
It’s the daily attention work.
That’s a lot of work!
I know it seems overwhelming.
Maybe you’re saying, “Shit…why do I have to do all this work?”
But it’s the work that pays off.
And it’s the work that gives me hope for myself, and for you, because I’ve seen the work WORK.
