Somatic bodywork, six minutes from Rohnert Park

Rohnert Park to my front door is about six minutes, which means a session can fit into a normal day.

Rohnert Park and Cotati sit side by side along Highway 101, and people from Rohnert Park already come to see me. You do not have to plan around the drive. A lunch hour works. So does the gap between two appointments, or the hour after work.

That matters more than it sounds. When the trip is short, this kind of work can become part of your regular life instead of an event you have to recover from.

I have been doing this work since 2003. A session brings together bodywork and somatic coaching, and it is organized around one question: what does your nervous system need right now?

Sometimes the answer is slow, hands-on work with the tissue and the breath. Sometimes it is a conversation about what your body has been holding while the rest of you kept going. Both are part of the Capacity for Self Method™, and you can read how they fit together there.

The reasons vary a great deal. Some people arrive with a body that feels stuck or sore. Some have something emotional that has been sitting in them for a long time, and some come for spiritual reasons they cannot quite put into words.

All of it is welcome, and most of it runs through the same doorway: a nervous system that has had too little chance to settle. Whatever brought you, we begin by listening.

The studio has high beamed ceilings, wood floors and large paintings on the walls, and it is laid out as one calm space rather than divided into small rooms. There is a table, two deep armchairs by the curtains for the conversation part of a session, and crystal singing bowls and gongs set up near the far wall.

It is spacious on purpose. Nothing about it is cramped, and there is nowhere you need to hurry to.

Most people begin with a free 15-minute consult. We talk about what is going on and what you are hoping for, and we decide together whether to book a first session. There is no pressure at this stage, and no paperwork either.
