Retiring after decades at a desk job, my body was generally stiff with limited flexibility and a lot of aches and pains.  After few sessions with Jackie my movement was much freer than it had been in years and the aches and pains were gone.  Amazing!   Now a periodic “tune-up” session works out the kinks when I over do and things need to be put back in order.   Thank you, Jackie!

Therapeutic Bodywork with Jackie

Experience the INTEGRATION of:
• Connective Tissue Techniques® (CTT) 
• CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and SomatoEmotional Release (SER)
• Laban Movement Analysis/Bartenieff Fundamentals (LMA/BF)   
​
Uniting the two gentle, yet powerful bodywork techniques with movement re-patterning results in effective change, and often over time, lasting change. 

Your session begins with observation of your movement patterns. Jackie and you together determine your specific immediate and long term needs in order to create a movement intervention and re-patterning of the neuromuscular habits that are causing your dis-comfort and dis-ease.

Your combined movement/bodywork session may involve bodywork, exercises on the floor, seated, standing and moving. The sessions are adapted according to your specific needs and profession. Your time with Jackie is the cumulation of over 40 years of her continued training, experience, observation, teaching and professional skill. She gives you her fullest attention and care.
