- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I fell in love with the power of manual therapies when I had a severe back injury and, as a physically active person, become immobile for some time. I finally saw a Network Chiropracter and Somatic Experiencing practitioner who offered images that transformed my relationship to pain and put my healing back in my own hands. So many of us are living with nervous systems that remain in a fight/flight/freeze state and this can be waring on our bodies, emotions, and general well-being. Because we are relational beings, receiving care from skilled practitioners who understand the importance of safe relationship as well as encourage self-awareness within the process profoundly increases our health and vitality.
