About Ann

Mission Statement

My goal as a therapist and empathetic human is, through informed touch and/or intuitive dialoguing, to facilitate each person’s expanding awareness of their own unique Body Wisdom, language, perception, and experience. By educating my clients about how to connect with and fully appreciate their body and all the history, information, wisdom and experience it contains I hope to foster:

• More effective self-care and advocacy in health care
• Individual self-appreciation, knowledge, empowerment
• The understanding that everything is connected in our bodies, and in the world at large, and that we each are a small but important part of a greater collective and all the support that implies.

I practice in a peaceful, private, dedicated treatment space in my antique home which is accessed through an ever changing garden space.

I earned my Massage Therapy certification through a 650 hr. program at Cape Cod Community College, Since discovering John F. Barnes Myofascial Release in 2009, I have achieved Expert MFR therapist level by taking and repeating numerous JFBMFR classes and being treated and helping in the clinic “Therapy On The Rocks” in Sedona, AZ. I also am a paid Instructor at Barnes Seminars and lead a local study group for other Barnes-trained MFR practitioners.

I have also expanded my practice with classes in shamanism, crystal sound alchemy, five day human cadaver dissection with the amazing Gil Hedley PhD, Tom Myers Anatomy Trains Reiki reflexology and yoga. I spend my leisure time gardening, enjoying nature, writing painting, supporting live music.

Since adding the Crystal Bowls as part of my therapy, I have co-created another healing opportunity, the Sacred Sound Sisters with Acqua Hildebrand, another sound alchemist and a master of movement experience. Inspired by our discovery of the healing potential of combining motion and sound we create custom 90 min programs using embodied movement to curated music, followed by a resting sound bath with crystal bowls, crystal harp and other healing sound tools, allowing each participant to gently “Come home to their body.” EVENTS/LEARN MORE>>

If it’s both terrifying and amazing then you should definitely pursue it.”
