there is beauty in the broken vessel
The Japanese have a concept, Kintsugi: the repair of broken vessels with gold. Instead of discarding what is broken, the cracks are filled with gold and the vessel becomes more beautiful, more valuable than before. From this perspective, a person is also a vessel. We break due to various experiences as we live. Kintsugi teaches us that our scars are proof that we have overcome, and. that this imperfection becomes our unique beauty.
I believe that robust wellness and vitality are the result of a life in balance; a balance of physical health, emotional serenity, and mental clarity. The restoration of this balance is our kintsugi: the beautiful vessel. I operate with the knowing that bodywork is an integral part of this equation. I feel deeply honored to have been a partner on this journey, for being able to help folks find and nurture their kintsugi; their beautiful broken vessel.
Now, each bodywork session is unique, depending entirely on you, the client, and your current therapeutic needs. Inevitably, each session incorporates aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine, deep tissue, breath work, myofascial release and movement. A meditative environment is created to facilitate an even deeper healing.
Each session is a constant mingling of East and West, a dance between ancient and modern; all grounded in the intention that you re-connect with your body, that you return to you.
