Every phenomenon that occurs in the body is observable through touch, with the intersecting landscape of health, wellness, illness, and dysfunction available through careful palpatory observation. Palpation, diagnostic touch, and therapeutic touch are cornerstones of my practice. They give shape to each treatment, provide direct feedback on treatment efficacy, and offer a clear pathway towards vibrant health and transformational well-being.

Initial Visit
This is where to begin, with a comprehensive health history, evaluation, and treatment that establishes the foundation for our work together. During this first visit, we will examine a detailed history of your health concerns, first crafting a narrative understanding of how you arrived at your current state of health and being.
We will use signposts such as the signs and symptoms you experience, surgical and procedural history, family history, medication, supplement, herbal, botanicals, vitalistic medicine review, and diet and lifestyle review.
To this narrative map, we will add vital layers of palpatory information gathered and refined through informed diagnostic touch. Through reading and interpreting the landscape of the body, we can then create a unique treatment tailored to your individual needs and presentation, evaluating the treatment’s efficacy in real time, iterating, and complementing your body’s natural response to this healing work.
From here, we construct a follow-up treatment plan based on your health goals and response to this initial work.
