Hi, I'm James and I offer Somatic Bodywork. My specialty is arthritis and chronic pain relief. All Bodywork sessions are clothed, and suitable for people of all ages, -especially senior citizens.
I myself am an active, "early senior citizen" who struggled with widespread osteoarthritis which led to two joint replacements, and recently, I've fully recovered from a major spinal injury. For these reasons I really "Walk my Talk" as I live and breathe the daily reality of joint/nerve pain challenges, By improving my own movement patterns I'm able to live a full and active life. I believe that this is entirely possible for most people who face similar challenges to myself. By unwinding the chronic tension coming from an over-active/traumatized nervous system, and creating new, more efficient movement patterns, a great deal is possible! Somatic bodywork is where this unwinding happens.
I also offer Feldenkrais based "Feel Great without working hard!" movement lessons at $25 per lesson on Zoom every Saturday morning from 11:00-12:00 Pacific time. These lessons are where you can develop new and improved movement patterns; where you can truly be freed from head to toe, - and without working hard!
I’m a fully trained Feldenkrais Practitioner, and Certified Somatic Educator, with additional certifications in Swedish and Shiatsu massage, as well as being a certified Health Coach. I’ve studied Anatomy and Kinesiology quite extensively, and continue to do so. In the Bodywork sessions, I'll gently work with you at the exact place you’re currently in, and we’ll build from there. If deeper pressure’s required, then I’m well equipped to provide that. My rate's $130 per hour, and I usually limit treatments to one hour to prevent overwhelm of a clients nervous system
