Parkinson's

Parkinson's disease involves progressive changes in movement, balance, and nervous system function. While somatic bodywork does not reverse the neurological changes, it can significantly improve quality of life by addressing the secondary patterns of tension, rigidity, and emotional holding.

My approach through the Capacity for Self Method addresses all three layers simultaneously:

• The Body (Capacity for Self Bodywork™):Through cranial sacral therapy and fascial release, Capacity for Self Bodywork helps maintain mobility and reduce the fascial restrictions and muscle rigidity that develop secondary to the neurological changes.
• The Mind (Capacity for Self Listening™):Living with a progressive condition creates its own emotional patterns, grief, fear, frustration. Through somatic parts work, this practice provides a safe space to process these without judgment.
• The Spirit (Capacity for Self VibroEnergetics™):Capacity for Self VibroEnergetics works across the vibrational spectrum to help maintain neural pathways and provide deep nervous system regulation. Crystal bowls and chimes engage the field at audible frequencies, while hands-on facilitation works at subtler levels, restoring flow to energy centers affected by neurological changes, often improving sleep and reducing anxiety.

Work with Parkinson's focuses on maintaining function and quality of life. Sessions are adapted to your current abilities and may include gentle mobilization, cranial work, and nervous system regulation. Many clients report improved sleep, reduced anxiety, better balance, and more ease in daily movements. We work collaboratively with your neurologist and care team to ensure integrated support.
