I am so happy to be sharing this Abdominal Therapy (AT) work with my clients, and soon, others who may be curious to learn more about it.

I began studying AT in 2009, became certified as a Professional Practitioner in 2012; and now, I am thrilled to say that I completed my Educator Training in December, 2023.

Though it has taken me a while to share this, I am ready to put it out to the public to be on the lookout for Basics Classes to learn more about Abdominal Therapy, and how it can help your Digestive System, Reproductive System and so much more... I e. back pain, neck and shoulder pain, stress, trauma, incontinence, discomforts of pregnancy, post-partum depression... I will also teach you how to give yourself an abdominal massage that may help alleviate all kinds of symptoms you might be struggling with.

And... if you are simply wanting to experience this work on my table, I love this work, and will be very happy to assist you!!

text is the best way to reach me, @914 275 8240... I look forward to hearing from you!!

All the best to you!! 🌿💜🌀

this beautiful poem was shared this morning in yoga class with Arielle Schwartz...at the Somatic Trauma Healing Immersion ~ I dedicate it to you... 🌲🌳🌲

Nikita Gill – Forest

One day when you wake up, you will find that you have become a forest.
You have grown roots and found strength in them that no one thought you had.
You have become stronger and more beautiful, full of life-giving qualities.
You have learned to take all the negativity around you and turn it into oxygen for easy breathing.
A host of wild creatures live inside you and you call them stories.
A variety of different birds rest inside your mind and you call them memories.
You have become an incredible self-sustaining thing of epic proportions.
And you should be so proud of yourself, of how far you have come from the seeds of who you used to be.

I am very happy and excited to share my newly deepened re-connection to Abdominal Therapy as taught by Rosita Arvigo, in the lineage of Don Elijio Panti, and Miss Hortense Robinson.

I've just returned from an advanced, ATP+ (Abdominal Therapy Practitioner Plus) training with Rosita Arvigo (in photo below), Beth Pealer-Townsend , and Jen O'Hagan, which has completely ignited my synapses and deepened my understanding of this great work in a very profound way...

While I have been offering this work since 2012; specifically for Reproductive and Digestive health, pelvic pain, and for Pregnancy and Postpartum support, I have finally awakened to the importance of this work for overall health and wellness, including back pain, trauma, respiratory and cardiovascular health and so much more...

Upon returning home, I am seeing the impact this work is having on my clients ~ and cannot wait to share this very profound work with you!! 🌿💜🌀

for more information or to book an appointment, please call or text me at 914-275-8240

Thank you so much! 🙏🏼

Very sad to have had to close my doors in Westchester last year, due to the pandemic, but really looking forward to welcoming this new chapter in my life without the 178 mile (RT) commute!! 🥰

Come treat yourself or a loved one to a massage in this very sweet, relaxing, and healing space!! Doors are officially open!!
I am fully vaccinated, and am looking forward to sharing this peace with you!

A little late for this year, but perhaps a "just because" or "congratulations, your pregnant!" Gift? Or, if you know someone who is needing some tlc during this stressful time... Or perhaps a gift of self-loving for you?

I am honored to serve you and/or your loved ones, from pre-conception through to the end of life...

Located in Clinton Corners and Rhinebeck village...
🌿🙏🏼💜

These are such tumultuous times... and my ask of you is that you be gentle with yourselves and your loved ones, and Love yourselves through these rough but (for those like me who have been very blessed with good health, financial, emotional and spuritual support and connection), growthful, insightful, evolutionary/revolutionary times.

And please join me, in "unlearning racism" however you can... Read about it, have the uncomfortable conversations with your selves, friends and family members, Me... Let's tawk!! It's so important that we not let this opening for real transformation and healing to just slip by as a "trendy moment." Too many lives are at stake! And... please VOTE!! Our lives depend on it!

Hi there!
I want to share this with you, in case it does to you.... There is an amazing Parenting During CV Times class taught and led by 2 great, world renown Somatic Experience teachers and practitioners, starting on Sunday.... There's a video of an introductory class at the bottom of their post...I thought this would be very helpful and enlightening for you who are juggling being 24/7 with kids who are also juggling life without their peers, or freedom to go places.... It's so good to be held and supported, sometimes... Take a look!
It's so important...I know these are difficult times for so many...
Be safe and healthy everyone!

We can also learn to look beyond stereotypical diagnoses and labels, (and our exasperation,) to see what their bodies are telling us.
