specializing in structural bodywork and soft-tissue injury treatment. He
recognizes that we all have many stresses and challenges to face each
day. If we can inhabit a more functional and lifted body then we have the
greatest chance for success in dealing with the greatest stress of
all...Gravity! Standing taller really does make you feel better and may
affect those around you too. Happiness and health are infectious. He
affirms that acknowledging the interconnected nature of
body-mind-spirit is a fundamental key to restoring balance and function.
