Essential Embodiment
An Integrative approach to Whole Being

Structural Alignment, Applied Energetics, and Conscious Embodiment

Creating Embodiment

     I have been a healing and bodywork practitioner for 30 years. I was inspired to do this work through teaching and interaction with special needs children. It was apparent that many of their ineffective behaviors were related to a lack of contact, grounding and embodiment. I think this is also true of many of us as adults due to psychological armoring, injuries and the pressures of life. As we are becoming more aware of the body/mind/spirit interconnections, it is evident we must address the expansion of our physical, energetic and emotional selves along with our spiritual growth.                   
     Through my own personal growth and continued study and the sharings of many wonderful clients, has come the unfolding of the embodiment practice. This practice, whether experienced in sessions or in everyday life, becomes a delightfully grounded and expansive embrace of all aspects of Self. Embodiment allows for the natural flow of life force energies and the inevitable shining forth of the light of beingness.

Joy

   At heart, I am a spiritual psychologist dedicated to revealing the mysteries and radiant aliveness that exists in each of us. This has involved much personal work, exploration, study and meditation, the fruits of which I offer in my life and practice. Our wholeness comes from integrating the realizations that we gathered as we evolve our self in life, including each of our expressive energy fields. Our work and delight is to nurture and cultivate our bodies and minds to reflect the wholeness of our original being.
     My educational training includes a degree in Psychology and a graduate degree in Special Education. I am a Certified Advanced Rolfer (25 years) and a registered Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral Therapist. Complementary training in the fields of healing and bodywork has included Transpersonal and Esoteric Psychology, Reiki, Energetic Healing, Regression Therapy, and Matrixworks group facilitation. I also currently teach and co-facilitated trainings in both Esoteric Astrology and Psychology through the Spirit Fire Meditative Retreat Center (www.spiritfire.com).

At present, I live and work in beautiful Boulder, CO.
