Manual Therapy and Nervous System Regulation
A collaborative approach to massage therapy focused on promoting nervous system resilience, capacity and a greater awareness of your body and sense of self.
Reconnect to your body, and sense of self
Life’s stressors can come at us in many ways, and can impact our physical and emotional health, leading to a disconnect between our body, mind, and sense of self.
This can lead to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms, such as pain, anxiety, difficulty moving our bodies, and general nervous system dysregulation.
Clear Water Therapeutics aims to help facilitate change and adaptability to these life’s stressors - giving you an expansion of choice and self-direction.
This can manifest for you as a sense of comfort and ease in your body, emotional clarity, a reconnection to your sense of vitality, and a greater awareness of self.
About Clear Water Therapeutics
Clear Water Therapeutics is an interactive, collaborative approach to massage and manual therapy that uses hands-on contact to invite change to the nervous system that has become sensitive, irritable and is experiencing pain. I take a holistic approach to focus on restoring health, and resilience while helping bring a greater awareness to how you move, hold, and express yourself.
I have taken inspiration from a variety of philosophies ranging from massage therapy, osteopathy, Somatic Experiencing®, and various somatic movement awareness practices to help facilitate long lasting nervous system resilience. We do this together by collaborating to give you agency, choice, and new options for how you hold and express yourself.
Getting context into how our nervous systems respond to stress can be very important, and will help direct how we approach a treatment strategy. This means taking a thorough health history of challenges you have endured, and what your daily stressors consist of. We adapt to what you are experiencing in the moment so we can help you build capacity, and live authentically.
“Strength that has effort in it is not what you need; you need strength that is the result of ease.”

Movement Awareness
Movement awareness approaches use your body’s internal awareness to observe and explore the felt sense of the quality of your movements involved in everyday expressions. These “somatic” approaches promote a sense of ease and efficiency in that expression, reducing the amount of muscular effort that it takes to carry out movements.
