The body knows

Over the last 15 years, I have immersed myself in a wide array of movement systems, martial forms, somatic practices, healing modalities and philosophical frameworks ranging the full spectrum from modern to ancient, scientific to esoteric.

 

After completing military service in Singapore, I pursued an education in dance. That eventually took me to New York City, where I had a decade-long career. As the number of companies I worked for and cities I’ve toured increased, so did my injuries. Seeking solutions to my physical pains eventually led to emotional wounds, the emotional wounds to spiritual turmoil and the spiritual turmoil to gaping existential curiosities. Turns out that the true gateway drug for me was a strained hip flexor.

 

Through these explorations, I’ve come to the belief that every modality that exists and will exist points to the same universal truth in the body. Some modalities point to it with the precision of technique and knowledge, others invite people to meander towards it with poetry and creativity. Each is a valid expression of that truth. But depending on who is receiving that truth, it can either be enlightening or deeply confusing.

 

My greatest passion is to help people navigate all that information and feel confident in their exploration of their own body. Whether or not we believe in an eternal soul, this meat sack is our house for this life. And I’d love to help make it feel like home.
