Our Services

We are nervous system coaches. We guide individuals to objectively observe their body structure and movement patterns, leading to a unique understanding of their body’s autonomic nervous system state. This understanding allows the nervous system to more appropriately respond to the environment in either a fight-or-flight or parasympathetic state. Our work revolves around sensorimotor integration, optimizing how your brain and body communicate, which leads to enhanced movement coordination, psychological function, and overall sense of well-being. Think of us as your #bodytourguide, providing an alternative therapy method for improved health.

​

This work is helpful for those with movement difficulties or discomfort, mental health issues such as anxiety or depression, chronic health diseases, and other physical dysfunctions.

​

In all one-on-one sessions, your practitioner will guide you through mapping specific points of the body, then apply this mapping to a movement context. 

​

Mapping in a movement context is an important step in changing the nervous system response as everything about our functioning – digestion, mental health state, motor function, etc. – is completely different depending on if one is in a fight-or-flight or parasympathetic state. If only mapping is done, our habitual thought and motor patterns have the potential to bring us right back to the fight-or-flight mode of operation.

​

Sessions are 55-minutes long. At the end of the session, we will discuss how you can integrate this practice in your daily life so your nervous system can become adaptable in a variety of contexts, environments, around different people, and in different types of activity.

Online Sessions

Online sessions will include movement without equipment done lying down on the floor, seated in a chair, and standing. Some clients choose to obtain a foam roller, a pair of "pinky" or lacrosse balls, and a yoga sandbag for at home equipment.

 

Group Classes

Group movement classes are available online only. A variety of movement is done while simultaneously mapping the body. These are great to supplement one-on-one sessions or as an alternative to one-on-one sessions.

In-Person Sessions

In-Person sessions include movement using various pieces of equipment such as a Pilates Reformer or Cadilac. Our studio is located in the Pearl District of downtown Portland, Oregon.
