Hands and Heart

I provide in-home movement and meditation lessons, as well as hands-on bodywork, in the New York City area. Certified in Yoga and Zero Balancing, with long-term study of Daoist Qigong and meditation practices, my life has been an ongoing exploration of the body, heart, and spirit—the seen and the unseen.

The bodywork I offer, Zero Balancing, was created by Dr. Fritz Smith, Osteopath and Acupuncturist. It is done fully clothed on a massage table, amplifying health and vitality through balancing body energy with body structure. Sessions focus on touch at the bone level and can reduce discomfort and pain, promote postural alignment, and release tissue held memory. I often combine this work with energy or Qi healing from Daoist practices and studies in SourcePoint therapy. My hands are an extension of my heart and spirit. They are also my connection to what is greater than myself. It brings me peace and joy to give others a place to rest, heal, and see through non-verbal realms.

I have deep compassion for the endurance and life-changing experience of illness, particularly those that change us not just in the process, but thereafter. I have been through this fire, and what I know now cannot be expressed well in words, as it presents best through the heart. I bring this awareness to both my hands-on work and teaching. I am also able to listen and talk with you no matter what the circumstances, as I have been to the edge and back.
