Teaching and Supervision

I teach private, semiprivate and group classes that integrate hands-on work, dialogue, and a principle-based, individualized approach to treatment.

I also supervise bodyworkers and other body-based professionals from physical therapists to acupuncturists, supporting their work and offering solutions and suggestions for issues that come up for professionals who work with the body.
