Cleave Trio - June Showing
On Sunday at 3 pm, three dancers will show an in-process excerpt of Cleave Trio. This showing is an informal opportunity to witness the dancers & choreography, peek into the creative process, and support the continued growth of Cleave as a whole. As I feel and work my way through the creative process of this piece with collaboration from the dancers, my goal is an evening-length piece that explores human relationships, duality, and transformation. Inspiration for this piece comes from the poem “Cleave,” by David Whyte.
The showing this Sunday is free and open to the public. It will be at Murmurations Aerial Studio, 208 Flynn Avenue, Burlington, VT. Seating is limited. You can reserve your tickets here.

So many people I have talked to are feeling overwhelmed. That’s not surprising. A new administration is wiping away the actions, resolutions, and protections that previous administrations have felt were required to run our democratic republic. In the last three weeks, this has been happening at a pace that no nervous system (no matter how evolved) could hold all the pieces together. This is a perfect time for a witnessing mindset to interrupt the dysregulation.
History is Repeating Itself - But We Refuse to Be Erased
For transgender and nonbinary youth, access to this care is not just a matter of survival—it is the foundation for a life filled with dignity, possibility, and joy, clearing the way to step into their truth and thrive. We are now living under an administration that has launched an all-out assault on trans youth, weaponizing policies and funding to strip their rights and therefore, the very ability to exist safely in this country. But at the end of the day, this is not just about healthcare—it is part of a much larger, coordinated effort, anchored as all oppressive tactics are, in white supremacy.
Automated Breast Ultrasound & Hypermobility
Automated beast ultrasounds make access to screen for women with dense breast tissue easier, but it may not be for you if you are hypermobile.
"Describing my Work" - the Contrast between Informed Touch and Protocols
When clients ask me about the uniqueness of my CranioSacral Therapy, I explain that it's not just about me being a different therapist. It's also about the depth of my approach. While many therapists follow protocols or procedures learned in school, my approach is...
