Audio Exercise Series
This series of guided audio sessions are designed to help you learn to "ground" and center yourself simply and effectively. This easily learned skill allows one to quiet down and really feel our bodies to do more effective self assessment and self treatment and it is also calming and affirming. From there, you can begin to explore areas of discomfort or "stuckness" be they new to you or chronic, and to tap into and utilize your innate and powerful "body wisdom" to facilitate healing, both on your own, or on the table or on a call with me.

Louie Schwartzberg is a cinematographer, director and producer who captures breathtaking images that celebrate life — revealing connections, universal rhythms, patterns and beauty. For Schwartzberg, the greatest satisfaction is creating works that can have a positive effect on the future of the planet. "I hope my films inspire and open people's hearts," he says. "Beauty is nature's tool for survival -- we protect what we love. Nature's beauty can open hearts, and the shift in consciousness we need to sustain and celebrate life."
I wholeheartedly agree!! Enjoy the three videos below featuring Louie Schwartzberg.

This video speaks to the power of nonverbal communication. I believe our bodies are "talking" to us constantly.. Sometimes it is a shout "OUCH!!!", other times a whisper "Please don't finish your usual workout today". If we begin to hear and respect the whispers, we can perhaps avoid injury, discomfort and chronic pain. Your body may hurt, but it will NEVER hurt you, as that would be self injurious. (11 min)
