What is Embodyment Therapy?

Embodyment Therapy is a hands-on healing technique that releases core physical and emotional tensions. Through gentle touch and concentrated awareness, the therapist catalyzes the client's innate healing ability. The process is blissful, the results are amazing. A single session is equivalent to six yoga classes.

Why try Embodyment?

Clients of Embodyment Therapy enjoy a wide range of benefits! At a minimum, clients experience relief from pain and stress. Other benefits include, but are not limited to, reducing sciatica, migraine relief, improved digestion, restful sleep, easier breathing, chronic back and neck pain relief, better circulation, increased flexibility, abundant energy, and a deep sense of peace. Some clients report improved conditions related to old/acute trauma, as well as diseases of the central nervous system, bones and muscles.

What is a session like?

Private sessions are fully clothed. Clients recline in a supported savasana, yoga's relaxation pose. The therapist places their hands at key points on the lower spine and back to release extremely deep tensions. The physical release encourages mental and emotional healing in kind. The entire session is 1 hour.

How much does it cost?

The first session is $33. Single sessions are $60. Sessions bought in a series of four or more are $45.

How does it work?

Embodyment is a form of yoga therapy. It is based on a modern understanding of the systems of the body, a scientific understanding of the power of awareness, and an experiential understanding of ancient yogic philosophies. That said, Embodyment unleashes the body's natural healing ability – which is effective on every physical level. If you break an arm, the doctor sets you bones so your body heals itself. If you experience Embodyment, the therapist sets your body so it heals itself.

Can I do Embodyment if I do other forms of healing?

Yes. Embodyment is safe and will support other forms of bodywork where one is releasing deep muscular tension.

What is Overlap Healing?

Overlap healing is a powerful means of expediting change in the body. It is a staged application of Embodyment Therapy sessions. At first, several sessions occur in a short time period; usually daily. Following that are additional sessions which allow the body time to adapt to the rapid change experienced; often a few times a week. Finally, sessions are spread out to encourage continual change. This method creates lasting change in a gentle manner and is recommended for deep work and/or acute conditions.
