Meet the Team

I have been incredibly fortunate to study at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. My classroom was located on a cliff side overlooking the ocean. Right bellow the massage rooms, which consisted mostly of glass, the waves were crashing on the shore. Otters and whales splashing on the horizon. Breathtaking sunsets every night and skies flooded with stars were my daily teachers. The gardens were filled with flowers and monarchs. There was no doubt to me of how sacred this land is. And that beauty is healing, and that is nature’s purest expression.

I often found myself massaging to the rhythm of the crashing waves. My hands moving like water.  I found the ocean and the land to be my most potent teacher on how to listen. How to follow currents of energy moving through the body. How to trust nature’s profound intelligence, the one that runs through my hand and the breath, the same one that guides whales and butterflies across the ocean.

I also learnt from these teachers that loving awareness is one of the most healing forces and all beings and creatures long for it. When we step back as a loving witness, we become as brilliant as nature and harmony begins occurring.

Craniosacral. Craniosacral is an incredibly subtle yet powerful practice that focuses on assisting the body’s innate intelligence towards wellness and harmony. For this reason, this practice is very non-intrusive, meaning that nothing is forced during a session. This way, we can access the deeper and more subtle systems of the body such as the nervous system, the bones of the skull and the Craniosacral rhythm and fluids that pulse through the spine and brain every 3 to 6 seconds. Those systems cannot be reached through more forceful maneuvers since the muscles of the body would engage in response and protect these more sensitive systems of the body.

As a practitioner, my intention is to be a loving and compassionate witness to the body, to listen deeply and offer support to the shifts that want to occur.
A Craniosacral session consists mostly of very light holds on different parts of the body where I can sense the Craniosacral pulse of the client and encourage movement in areas of stagnation and holding.

Effects of this practice may include a nourished, relaxed and strengthened nervous system, relief with migraines and headaches as well as mental and emotional health resilience.
