"I've definitely felt a shift in my body since working with you. My hip pain has decreased significantly, I'm sleeping really well and I feel much more balanced." - H.T.

"I definitely feel lighter & more energetic, & I'm sleeping especially soundly! I spent about 3 hours in the garden today and didn't feel nearly as creaky as usual. I will recommend you to others." - Anne H.

"I'm not sure how to describe this I'm just feeling a state of oneness." "You've got quite the gift, I feel really balanced, kudos to you and your practice. I'm looking forward to our next sessions." - Robert S.

"This is amazing! I don't have to clench everything when I walk. I haven't felt this good in years!" "Oh my gosh! I was so relaxed, the evening was amazing! My breath is more expansive and I'm able to use that to reduce my stress. I can't thank you enough for your work, you have an amazing gift. Like I said, for the first time in a long time I feel taken care of." - Pat

Hi, I'm John!

I'm a licensed CHEK Integrated Health Coach and a holistic bodyworker.

My dream is to help you to create real health and wellness for yourself, and to do so in a way that gets you as independent as possible as quickly as possible. In order to accomplish this I specialize in looking at many factors within your body as well as the entirety of your environment to find what noxious stimulus could be affecting you, so that we can develop a plan that's tailored to you and get great results fast.

I've trained in Be Activated by Douglas Heel and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (Adult & Infant), Vagus Nerve, Lymphatic and Glymphatic systems bodywork.

I'm also currently a CHEK IMS2 and HLC2, Fit for Birth PPCES, GOATA Locomotive Systems Groundwork Coach.

What are these techniques?

Be Activated

Craniosacral Fascial Therapy

Be Activated is a holistic system of breath and bodywork that works on the nervous system to enable people to powerfully, immediately and reliably shift their state, allowing them to relax and perform at their best. It's a sequence of muscle activation techniques that allow the body to drop into a parasympathetic state and begin the healing process. Often results are profound, and the techniques can then be taught allowing the client to take control of continually coming back to those profound results without the need for the facilitator over and over again. Combined with CFT we not only get the "what" of fascial strain and challenges in our body but "why", as we test, correct and retest the compensation patterns that force our body to bind up our fascia in strange ways.

Craniosacral Fascial Therapy is a very gentle bodywork technique, centered on the improvement of the craniosacral system. Allowing the natural expansion and contraction of the brain within the skull is critical to optimal growth and development for children, as well as great health for adults as the cerebrospinal fluid that cleans the brain permeates all tissues within the body via the fascial system.  I call CFT "Physical Unconditional Love" as we simply listen to what your body is saying it's needing to unwind from stress, trauma and release bound up emotions. Ultimately this has impact not only on brain function but also physical mobility, organ health and pain syndromes all over the body as everything is connected via the web of fascia.
