Hello, my name is Pili. I have recently settled in Ashland,Oregon, after living in Anchorage, Alaska for 35 years. I have been practicing bodywork for almost 30 years. My experience with bodywork began through managing my own pain, from an extreme case of whiplash in my early teens. In an effort to find some comfort after major jaw surgery, I began practicing yoga. I found great relief through this and from the many forms of bodywork that I received. A bodywork session with me combines many different modalities, which may include; Myofascial work, Massage, Cranial Sacral and Visceral work, breath awareness, movement and reeducation, therapeutic exercises and, of course, Relaxation. I have found this approach to be beneficial, if you are wanting to resolve pain issues, chronic or acute, address movement patterns, or rehab from an accident or surgery, etc. I often give homework and suggestions for movement options and support. I use a minimum to no lotions or oils, and ask that you refrain from applying any prior to your appointment. Please dress in shorts and sports bras, that allows for full range of motion of shoulders and hips, and for the alignment of your body to be seen, if you are wanting to address a particular issue. I welcome you to explore the expanding universe inside of you...with bodywork.
