Structural Medicine is a customized evaluation, treatment and collaborative team approach to an individual’s unique health issues. Distinctive to the field of structural integration, Structural Medicine directly addresses specific pathologies, painful complaints, and movement dysfunctions. It bridges well-established and proven evaluation tools found in mainstream medicine (strength, range-of-motion and neurological testing, postural assessment) with the latest scientific developments in alternative treatment therapies (manual therapy, myofascial release, movement education and neuromuscular re-education.)

Developed by Peter Levine, Somatic Experiencing (SE®) is a body–mind therapy specifically focused on healing trauma by helping clients draw their attention to their bodies. SE™ aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release, recover, and become more resilient. It is a body-oriented therapeutic model and has been clinically applied for more than four decades. Beyond trauma resolution, it helps individuals learn to regulate their nervous systems and find balance in today’s hectic world.

Somatic Bodywork sessions are designed to support nervous system regulation. Touch is gentle and slow and always within the parameters of what feels safe for you. There is space to process emotions that arise during the session. You may choose to receive the work fully clothed or wearing shorts, undergarments or the like for a more massage like experience. Areas of the body that are typically addressed are the kidney/adrenals, feet, hands and neck but the session will be tailored to your unique needs. Our goal is working together to bring greater coherence to your systems.
