How it all began...

I was a student at Adelphi University majoring in Psychology in the year 2011. I decided to take a Somatic Psychology course as it was the first Somatic Psychology course taught on the east coast by Professor Jennifer Tantia. In this class we developed a deeper understanding of the relationship between body and mind and were shown a multitude of alternative modalities one of which was Structural Integration.

Structural Integration became my concentration and our assignment required us to write a research paper on our chosen modality as well as to go and receive one session from an active practitioner. I met with Justine Walsh who graduated from the New School of Structural Integration a few years prior and was practicing in NYC. After my first session the idea of becoming an SI practitioner had always been present in the back of my mind. I went on and graduated with my BA in Psychology and began working as a Care Coordinator in a homeless shelter in Far Rockaway, New York.

Needless to say working as a Care Coordinator came with many challenges. Heavy case loads with limited resources and an inefficient lack of support from my agency. I decided after two years that there had to be more I could do to help make positive impacts on people’s lives. That is when the idea of pursuing Structural Integration had been re-born. I looked into the different schools across the country and decided on the New School of Structural Integration (NewSSI) in Laguna Beach, California.

In the beginning of the year 2017 I had begun my training as an SI practitioner. This work has transformed me as a person both physically and emotionally. My relationship with the world around me had a new light and that light was the freedom Structural Integration had given me. I felt more comfortable in my body, I had developed a deeper understanding of my relationship with earth’s gravitational field and I was able to release years of trauma trapped in my tissue through my 10 series.
